text: Remember back in the time
  When the only sign we had was pickets
  But now in 94, it be this way, somethin come wicked
  G-angs killin others for colors
  Thangs that we wear for fashion
  Other brothers take it for a reason to be blastin
  What the kcuf is goin on
  Not soft like buttercups but
  Had enough of singin that same song
  See, I stayed across the street from the projects
  Took out yo momma trash and groceries to her trunk
  To keep my pockets 
  Fat, like cellulite only been to jail one week
  For some shull-bit and I pray to God I wont repeat
  I shoulda pulled it when I had the chance to
  No, I shouldnt a did that, cause if I did that
  Yall would not hear dat phat shit
  That keeps you on your tippy-tippy-toes
  Like that sellout, not callin no names
  But really, whos bad
  I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms
  You cant forget where you come from
  Take a good look in the mirror
  And tell me, do you like what you see
  Masters of deception, corruption and evil
  But youre always quick to point the finger at me
  Wont somebody tell me
  I just dont understand
  The ways of the world today
  Sometimes I feel like
  Theres nothing to live for
  So Im longing for the days of yesterday
  What gave you the right to misjudge me
  And write me off on the wall
  Acting as if you understand me
  In reality, you just dont know me at all
  Sometimes I cant help but wonder
  If this was how its meant to be
  But if you search deep enough in your soul
  Youll always find a slight reminder of me
  Wont somebody tell me
  I just dont understand
  The ways of the world today
  Sometimes I feel like
  Theres nothing to live for
  So Im longing for the days of yesterday
  A-yo, if we could all agree
  To lettin our souls become free
  Of that sweet bitterness
  Then whos chest would have the most seeds?
  I keep misfocusin my needs
  And this stress on my back
  With them gats they be blastin into my knapsack
  Aint no accidental deathtraps
  My mishap is the fact that Im destined to snap 
  Its when I feel as though my bodys able to go
  My mind is ready to flow
  Did you know first you catch and then I throw
  Its my own sense of time
  If Im late, its cause Im endin my day
  Just when the sun shines
  And still gently advising the arisin of the moon
  As it roams around into my soundproof dimension
  I just dont understand
  The ways of the world today
  Sometimes I feel like
  Theres nothing to live for
  So Im longing for the days of yesterday 
  I just dont understand
  The ways of the world today
  Sometimes I feel like
  Theres nothing to live for 
  So Im longing for the days of yesterday
