[Hook: Tony G] "Take it back" "Take it back" "Take it back" "Take it back" [Verse 1: A.L.T.] I take you back in my past, I used to live life fast And yo, it wasn't shit to let the .38 blast I had it going on with the bitches and hoes, too Yo, come to think about it, so did my whole crew We bumped the old school jams from the east coast We was the baddest Mexicans out of East Los Back in the days, many crews got hushed It seems every night, me and my homies got rushed But we never back down, even if we got beat down We came back next week to the same town And we was ready for them but they still figure That they could do us so Tiny pulled a steel trigger I had a .38 special, not a A.K As we sped away, Tony G. was on kayday Mama told me, "Yo, Al, you better change your ways" And I'm a take you way back in the days And I'm a [Break: Tony G. & A.L.T.] "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" {And I'm a take you back} "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" ("Way back") [Verse 2: A.L.T.] Back in '83, we hit the party like fifteen deep I kept the chrome in my jacket so nobody'll creep Way back when, bitch's hair was fifteen feet And the homies had the stray cat strut look Now I'm a open up the book to another page And how I rock a house party with no fucking stage Crack the 40 and it's on Yo, tilt the 40 and it's gone But my homie Tiny O always had my back And a trained pitbull that was trained to attack Now, put the system in the backyard (Yo) And when the cops come, act hard Now the powers on, and the jams come {*sample jam*} Mama told me, "Yo, Al, you better change your ways" And I'm a take you way back in the days And I'm a [Break: Tony G. & A.L.T.] "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" {And I'm a take you back} "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" ("Way back") [Verse 3: A.L.T] Me and my primo, we was rolling drop And we was dodging the cops Cause we was looking for the crew spot Rolling in a six-deuce I'm a target cause Mexicans never had a gang truce Hit the spot, and it's dark My primo said, "Park!" Then we bailed out a '62 Skylark Yeah, this vato rolled up "Where you from, holmes?" I dropped my 40 but Blanco said, "Stop, holmes" I took two steps back, I could tell he was packed Plus the skinny motherfucker's on crack I turned and dashed nine blocks I heard nine shots, now my primo's in a pine box And if I go back and get him I know, I can get him, squeeze the trigger on the nine I hit 'em and as I reminisce about my life It's no wonder I still got my life And I'm a take you back [Tony G.] "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" {And I'm a take you back} "Take you back" "Doo-doo, doo, doo" {And I'm a take you back} "Take you back" [Outro Dialogue: A.L.T.] This shit is dedicated to all the homies we done lost in the past Go pass me that 40, I'm a crack this shit open And just chill... the old school shit And to all you gangstas A.L.T. just took you back... way back Back into time
