Back In The Day
2 Dead Lyrics

Way back in the day what I was told
I was taught a long time ago that not everything that glitters is gold

Every thing I touched is just the gangsta shit
Everything I do is related to the gangster lifestyle

That's why I come with these cavi hit's
That's why I make and sell high-quality drugs

H.D dogg will always stay an G
I will always remain a true gangster

Coming from the Eastside of the L.B.C
I come from the Eastside of Long Beach, California

Always watch my back and I handle my biz
I'm always alert and take care of my business

And all y'all sucka ass niggaz know what time it iz
All of you enemies of mine know what kind of trouble you're in

You better watch your back and you better not trip
You should be careful and not make any mistakes

Because I always got my strap and my extra clip
Because I always carry my gun and have extra ammunition

H.D dogg always been an man
I've always been a grown man and can handle myself

Every single day I smoke an fat ass sack
Every day I smoke a large amount of marijuana

I been doing this gangsta shit for an gain of years
I've been living the gangster lifestyle for many years

I can I break it down in an gain of ways
I can explain it in many different ways

I learn this gangsta shit way back in the day
I learned how to be a gangster a long time ago

Way back in the hood in 83'
Back in the neighborhood in 1983

It was planted in my head and it never left
I was introduced to the gangster lifestyle and it stuck with me

That's why you niggas know where my weapon is kept
That's why my enemies know I carry a weapon

Up under my shirt and I put's in work
I carry my gun under my shirt and I'm willing to use it

If you get hit bitch, it ain't my fault
If you get shot, it's not my responsibility

When you lying out in the street outlined and chalked
When you're lying dead on the street, marked by chalk outlines

And I can say is that what you get for fucking with niggaz from the gangsta click
That's what happens when you mess with members of the gangster group I belong to

I will still shit like all night long
I will still talk about my gangster life for long periods of time

I learn that shit in here nigga way back in the day
I learned about the gangster lifestyle a long time ago

Now its just an taste, just to let you know
This is just a sample to let you know

That like I be coming with that gangsta flow
That I always bring the gangster style to my music

And if you don't hear me, nigga open your ears
If you don't understand me, listen more closely

because I ran through life and didn't have no fears
I lived boldly and without fear

Stealing bikes was the best one
Stealing bicycles was the best crime to commit

And you probably get fifty if you came with an fresh one
You could sell a stolen bicycle for fifty dollars if it was brand new

He keeps an gain of money because he slangs them rocks
He makes a lot of money selling drugs

He straight living lauging and he has it made
He is living a luxurious life and is happy with it

And every day he chills in the shade
He spends his days relaxing in comfortable settings

He been doing that shit way back in the days
He has been living that lifestyle for many years
