Things Change

Things done changed in the hood
Since we done came to the hood
And wrote our names in the hood
Now they say things change for the good
Things change for the good
Things change for the good, yes, yes

Things done changed in North West
Manicured lawns and doorsteps
Decorate North West
Now they say things change for the best
Things change for the best
Things change for the best, yes, yes

The most famous in DC
As long as Borfs not home
The baddest hand in the land
If Disco Dan's not home
With that much competition
Might feel I'd be blown
But to be to speak the truth homie
I feel right at home
That's why Hip-Hop loves me
I never tried to own her
Never tried to fuck her
Even though I got a boner
Gave her a shoulder
To cry to on
When it was all over
She said so sober
Lee, your one bad soldier
That's not bad meaning bad but
Bad meaning good
Roll with 2DK L.A.B. as we
Smash up the hood
Pedal to the gas watch me
Blast past you fools
Smoking Blue Dream we wrapped
In a Back-to-the-Wood
Things done changed in the hood
Since we done came to the hood
And wrote our names in the hood,
Now they say things change for the good
Things changed for the good,
Things changed for the good, yes, yes

Things done changed in the hood
Since we done came to the hood
And wrote our names in the hood
Now they say things change for the good
Things change for the good

Things change for the best

Ayo it be fine we can battle
On the Green Line
While you tryna think
Of the next line
The Deuce will sneak up
from behind
And put you in a pine box
Till your body rots
Turns into dirt mud and rock, yea
You think were the ones to be fuckin wit
Were not
I ain't gotta beef
I just let the Deuce dismantle
This crane and anvil
That's twenty stories above the building your in
While your wondering why the lights are out and you cant hear a thing
Even if it misses your exact location
It's crippling structural foundation
And you was in the basement
Man this is rap and roll
That's a gaping hole
Roll with Deuce or end up under ground zero

Things done changed in the hood
Since we done came to the hood
And wrote our names in the hood
Now they say things change for the good
Things change for the good
Things change for the good, yes, yes

Things done changed in North West
Manicured lawns and doorsteps
Decorate North West
Now they say things change for the best
Things change for the best

I gotta bad Addiction like Jane's
I feen to get fame
So I stay out late
I paint my name on walls and trains
I don't get paid a fee
For eye candy I conceive
I even carve my name in trees for lil animals to see
Some say that's animal Lee
Marking territory with P
But they don't care for Lee
So they should cease with the grief see
I mainline with Montana Rustolium and Krylon
Aint another rapper out on the same shit that I'm on
When The L.A.B album drops
I won't promote by doing in stores
I'm out at night on the highway painting over your billboards
So what I'm a glory hound cause I tore through your town
And wrote my name in places you say its aint suppose to be in
I'm not being heathen I'm R-I-T-en I'm I-N-G-ing
Keeping the culture breathing
See this is what happens when all elements collide
They combine to form a bombers mind like mine

Things done changed in the hood
Since we done came to the hood
And wrote our names in the hood
Now they say things change for the good
Things change for the good
Things change for the good, yes, yes

Things done changed in North West
Manicured lawns and doorsteps
Decorate North West
Now they say things change for the best
Things change for the best
Things change for the best, yes, yes
