Heh, yall remember back in the days
When niggaz used to get they ass whooped for snakin cars
And had to go strip your own switch off the tree
These are the days
(These are the days)
These are the days (when we parlay)
When we parlayed (just me and my team)
Me and my team (out there livin our dream)
Ha, ha ha, Lord (look how far weve come)
Look how far we come (doin what we love)
Doin what we love (cause these are the days)
(ballin, we gon hold on)
And I remember back in the days, if you aint like a nigga
You let him know, then you asked for a fave
And then he coulda got a head up
Me and you after school in the front and we can tear it up
And everybody gon know about it
Yep, so put down your set, and shut up, and be sho about it
Cause everybody done lost one
But dont come home cryin unless your ass mind another one
And your ass better fight back
And you bet not run and let it get back to mom
Cause, daddy aint made no punks (uh-uh)
And, momma aint raised no chumps (no way)
So, go head for what you know
Cause a lil childhood fights alright, but thats as far as it goes
Cause tomorrow well be best of friends
Never ever disagreein, now thats a friend, cmon
Now leave the guns and the crack and the knives alone
Its, T-Double on the microphone, and I can
see trouble right in front your home
Far as the kids concerned, let him live and learn
And let him grow to be older than us
Teach him more than gangbangin, drug deals and hold-ups
And slow up, hold that drinkin just a little bit
And when they wanna get high, just let em hear this
And let em hit it til they OD
Cause when they sober up, they gon love and respect us
Now we havin mo doctors, lawyers
Teachers, preachers, and deep-sea explorers
Cmon
These are the days, Lord these are the days
These are the days (these are the days) Lord these are the days
(for the thugs)
Whatever happened to the momma and daddy jokes
And why you cuss so much, right in front of these old folks
That lady about seventy-five years old
Thats twice my age, and fo times yours
I know momma taught you better than that
Believe stuff like thisll give the ol girl a heart attack
Always hollerin about child abuse and child neglect
Where the hell did you get that?
Shit the last time I checked
You ever lost self-respect, you got it put on your ass for that
And it happened right there where it went wrong
Part ones now, part twos at home
So from now on, its yes maam or no sir
Put that behind you, questions and answers
Followed by thank you or no thanks
Or father may I be excused without bein rude
Hold on, so this here should teach you a lesson yknow
Kids, yknow listen to your teachers at school and
Parents, need to pay attention to your kids at home
Therefore uh, know how to be hard on a child abuser
Child neglecter, where erybody nobody call HRS on us
Beat they lil bad ass when they get out of line
Thats what my momma did - fo sho
Aint nuttin wrong with a lil ass whuppin
The swellin gon go down and the bleedin gon stop
But your assll be alive, Ill bet you that
And umm, I put that on Pearl
