Things Ain't What They Used To Be Lyrics - Master P

[Mo B. Dick] 

 

Things ain't what they used to be. 

Things ain't what they used to be. 

 

Verse 1: [Master P] 

 

I remember back in the days it wasn't like that 

Everybody knew everybody, now days it ain't like that 

We used to stand on the corners and drink brew 

Now days you gotta duck when they drive through 

Cause they blastin', life is like plastic 

But who would be the next egg took out the easter basket 

Is it you, me, or her or she or he? 

who would live to see the long age of 23? 

Cause once you dead and gone who gives a damn 

On your tombstone would read Rest In Peace Sam 

But in the ghetto you cooked 'till you dead 

Ain't no love when you dead and gone cause you red 

Like roaches for the gutter, peanut butter 

your life in the gutter, fool cause you fluttered 

With this game that I spit, shoot out, don't quit 

Now you a victim of society another statistic 

I heard the gunshots rain from the middle of the street 

The gunsmoke cleared three people on the concrete 

I mean it's crazy, slippin' on daisies 

Time to call it quits, they done put a bullet in a baby

Chorus: [Master P & Mo. B Dick] 

 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

 

Verse 2: [Master P] 

 

Watch you back in the ghetto black 

Open the box, Mom's ain't nothing to eat 

Back in the day, I thought we was a family 

My little brother on the street corner selling crack 

Only 15 used to be a quarterback 

I wish the law would rehabilitate my auntie 

I came home try to visit that girl tried to do me 

Started tweakin said that she needed crack 

Stole my grandma's rent money out her purse black 

I stay Tru 2 Da Game you devils' can't see me 

I put that on my mom, I put that on my gold teeth 

My homies bangin', no respect for the American flag 

But they kill over that blue and red rag

Chorus: 

 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

 

Verse 3: [Master P] 

 

I remember back in the day smoking weed was the everyday drug 

Now days they shoot heroin and sell blood 

Back in the day catchin the clamps was gettin us shot 

Now days catch the AIDS and your time will stop 

My lil homies doin time, 25 with a L 

A victim of the system, I'd rather die and go to hell 

I try to be legit and start my own company 

'Till these sucker want to bump into P 

They point the finger at me for tellin another what to do 

How could another person tell you what to do 

I could tell you to rob or steal or kill 

Thats like pointin' the finger at Jack or Jill 

For being the first person on this little earth 

Is like askin' Mary why she had to give birth 

And who would be the next victim to lose his life 

And who would be the next one to make a life 

But when you make a life you gotta learn to teach your kid 

So one day they can grow up and make it big 

But all this gangbangin' and turf wars gotta cease 

Cause y'all know we livin in the last days G 

 

Chorus: 

 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be 

Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
