Back in Time - C-Mob

Damn, miss the old days

Back when we was young, life seemed so simple then

Know what I’m sayin, me and my guys would be out there gettin into shit

Everybody was cool, livin life like we had nothing to lose

Shit… If things didn’t change now, if they didn’t change

Everyday it’s the same things, no time to chill

I gotta go work and get on the grind

I gotta go hustle to pay the bills

And I feel, like I could lose it any day

What I would give to escape, all of this madness and just get away

Where everything was all the while good, my attitude could be care free,

just like durin my childhood

But now I’m and I gotta stay on my toes, I gotta stay clear of the fakers,

and stay away from these chaotic ho’s

So everyday now I just maintain

The strain on my brain is the main thang causing my pain

In the game cause ain’t a thang change

And if it’s changing then it’s for the worst

Relationships are all get severed and nothing gets better

And we’re all cursed

I don’t have an optimistic mind state

Because my anger inside just keeps on rising just like the crime rate

We went from water guns, to packing nine’s

And all we have now is memories of how life was back in time

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time

To when everything seemed easy and life was just a simple grind

Felt so much pain I’ve shed my last tears

Sometimes i sit by myself and reminisce over past years

Back in the day, friends were real, and everybody acted cool

We used to get in all types of shit when we would go mobbing right after school,

at the, ?fool?

And beat a hater to the soil, and none of my guys were snitchin because they

were true and loyal

But nowadays friends are the first ones that a be stabbin you in the back

As a teenager be smokin blacks, but now they grown and smokin crack

Whats the deal, I never thought I’d be seein my guy, broke as hell,

still livin with his momma, but he’s happy if he’s high

Don’t know, why, that everything is the way it is, sometimes i wish that it

would just go back to the way that it was, when we were kids, but I know that

it won’t because they’ve changed cause

They’re unrealistic, I’ve dismissed these bitches who’ve twisted the game up

And I have names i could be calling out, but you know who you are because we

simply we have all been fallin out

Wish I could stop this shit from happenin, but I know that me and my guys will

never be how we used to be, back then

Everything happens for a reason, I know that god has a plan, friends from back

in the day, be passin away, and I don;t understand, why did my Grandpa die?

God you could’ve told the cancer to go, and why did Stephan have to answer the

door, now tell me can I get an answer for those?

and what about Ghost,

he used to be spittin' them bars, tell me why did he have to get in that car?

Young kids hungry for money, and we were ready for work, but the time some of

us were in our twenties, we were dead in the dirt, and I remember back in the

day when me and T would sit on the porch, I’m smokin a black, and he smokin a

blunt and we went to the store just to get us a torch and a pack of new?

warts?

of course

Was the source of multiple shorts, cause wasn’t no thing to be givin to another

man who threw up his forks, now the courts, got my guy, they don’t want to let

him up outta jail, used to kick it like everyday, now all I can do is send him

mail, and it’s, hell, to many of my loved ones passin away, I guess it will

never be how it used to be back in the day
