Ain't Tha Same

I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll

Ridin' deep in the range havin' fortune and fame
In the middle of the night I wake-up calling your name
Homie pour me drank homie pass the dank
We were on a major mission turning strong like a crank
Everybody on my team had scars and rank
Penetrated by Fed's made the whole ship to sank
Now I'm lying on my back in this cell block tank
Reminiscing telling stories how we ball and had francs
It's the lifestyle I had can you picture what I paint
I was making money fast I had to keep a full tank
Too many homies on the sideline it ain't what you think
They only Reppin' cause they wanna be a part of the bank
I know your trapping everyday tryin' to maintain your weight
I hope you make it out the hood before they bite you like a snake
It's a sober situation now I'm wide awake
When you go back in time you see the real and fake

I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll

Twenty years of my life doing time in a cell
When they let me out I'm gonna raise some hell
To them fake ass homies didn't send me no mail
Only time will tell I'm taking over an excel
Ain't no hidin' and seek it's going down for keeps
You know tha place to be so you cowards cop a plea
Don't wanna hear no excuse about your past due receipt
You didn't think about me when I was dying in my sleep
When my knees got weak, I had to pray to be free
Every time I hit yard I had to deal with some heat
How many soldiers do you that can do this bit
Like Tony told Mannie get rid of that ish
It's the nature of the beast when you're dealing with a beast
Everybody wanna hustle everybody wanna eat
I heard a voice in my head said you're vital to me
But it won't be the same when you go the streets

I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll

I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
I say my hood ain't been tha same ya'll
Since my homie left tha game ya'll
