[Intro: Layzie Bone] Yeah, you gotta learn to appreciate the finer things in life To appreciate life and live long You see, unfortunately, it's experiences that we gotta go through You feel me? [Verse 1: Layzie Bone] Stanley and Steven bringin' up Stewart Wally was sneakin', smokin' a Newport Robert was out here ballin' them hoop courts Fab house, grew up in Dupont Remington steel, never forget where I was raised Had it made way back in the days I'm just a thug in my ways But that's a good thang baby, take a look at me now Young and wild, and hella proide, got all the clout But simmer down now It wasn't so easy I can remember when times was hard Stuck together and waited for God Pray to the Lord that he'd open the door (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Mama made it callin' welfare, she didn't care, who else cares? Sometimes it felt like hell here, still it's stingy in stale air Inhale, exhale, rebel and I did Reminiscin' when I was a kid and all that crazy shit I done did Breaking windows, petty thieving, roaming Cleveland causing hassles Corruption and destruction, my mama's little rascals That's when my mama was payin' the bills but see the game done flipped around Spinned around (flipped around) I guess its all on me now And now my babies call on Daddy and these bills keep coming in And now its time to hit this road again, carry this load again But that's cool 'cause I'm ready in this game I'm so heavy, in these streets, I'm so deadly If you want me come and get me, ain't nothin' changed But the times, days, months and years And day by day I'm a make my way, shedding these tattoo tears Listen here, I'm in it to win it no matter what's the 'cause Even though a nigga tired, boss, it's mandatory we floss [Chorus: Layzie Bone] Now I remember back in the days where everything was so easy Then I done went and got a chrome Couldn't wait to graduate and get on my own Now I wanna take it back and try to relax because I wanna go home I wanna be free, free Free from life's responsibilities Spread my wings, my wings Take me back to how it used to be [Verse 2: Layzie Bone] I'm doin' good for myself, I'm facin' nothin' but envy So I sip my bottle till its empty, won't let this rap game pimp me Evil tempt me but it just can't touch me, keep on passin' me by And I seen the devil and he lurkin' in his fancy disguise Never stop comin', gotta keep workin', this the picture I get Everyday hustlin' tryin' to get richer, little more slicker I get And I'm knowin' this game ain't built to last, give me my cash and I'm cool If you ain't got it, I gotta smash, this is life and that's the rules Crash dummies, they get tested, save the shit for the Young and The Restless Really some people is out here helpless while the prominent stay selfish Live by the Thug World Order in these times of stress I do my best like a game of chess, but will I win it? Hell yes! [Verse 3: Krayzie Bone] I can remember when I got kicked out of school A nigga went straight to the pen Nigga turned 18, goddamn No longer a juvenile, I'm a grown man And I played the wrong hand I gotta deal with it, only the strong last So I sit my ass on back and let my time roll past Can't believe I'm being shackled First offense, that's why I'm rattled Yet, I'm sittin' in my cell constantly thinkin' about when I get out Collect calls to my dogs, "Damn, I wish I was home with y'all" I wish I was free, 'cause man, I'm losing my mind behind the walls Back up against this cold steel, ain't got a decent home meal Feel so trapped and alone, taking this route was so real I know one thang, I'm never coming back I've done released Nope, not me, I just got to be free [Chorus: Layzie Bone] Now I remember back in the days where everything was so easy Then I done went and got a chrome Couldn't wait to graduate and get on my own Now I wanna take it back and try to relax because I wanna go home I wanna be free, free Free from life's responsibilities Spread my wings, my wings Take me back to how it used to be Now I remember back in the days where everything was so easy Then I done went and got a chrome Couldn't wait to graduate and get on my own Now I wanna take it back and try to relax because I wanna go home I wanna be free, free Free from life's responsibilities Spread my wings, my wings Take me back to how it used to be
