Текст (слова) песни: Xzibit - Back 2 the Way it Was

 
Yeah.. yo.. c`mon 
Ride wit me, lemme take you somewhere 
 
[Xzibit] 
My father was a soldier, my mother was a rider 
I was born wit my fists balled up, I`ma fighter 
Inspired, a real rhyme writer 
Get past the past the future looks brighter 
But, I wanna get it back to the way it was 
Exchange blows, elbows and it was still love 
A better time, better place in space 
Cause nothin can erase, shame tat` like my nigga Chase 
Cause Bigga B will never be replaced, right 
And I`ma scream it to the whole fuckin human race 
Get a bar, get a taste 
Enforce the muscle to ya hustle and ya did it with grace 
Cause real niggaz don`t save face, they make movements 
Back to the time when hip-hop was music 
When N.W.A. got booed at the Apollo 
Broke "Straight Outta Compton" and the whole world followed 
Cause right now hip-hop is hollow 
With no substance, X-Man with the roughness 
Cause success can suck sometime 
And many of us the way we act, we even lost our minds 
 
[Chorus] 
You can hold your breath, `til your blue in the face 
But you can never ever take my place 
I stay strong whether right or I`m wrong 
Through the struggle I will live on (now sing the song wit me) 
You can speculate, on every breath I take 
But you can never ever take my place 
I stay strong whether right or I`m wrong 
Through the struggle I will live on 
 
[Xzibit] 
Back to the day when +Cooley+ was +High+ 
Hustle big like Butch in the Y-B-I 
We did it `n died, the gang still multiplied 
Sock yo windpipe, cut yo air supply 
Hypnotized, not by the glitz `n glamour 
So fuck them cameras, all I need is clips and hammers 
The X-Man said that the first rhyme out 
Were my fans worth my time? The first line out, so 
Here we are eight years strong and still movin 
Groovin with a reputation ya can`t ruin 
I wanna take it back how it used to be 
Five thousand fucked up, rockin outta unity 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Xzibit] 
Was it the alcohol in you, the money the power the fame 
that made you actually attempt to try to disgrace my name? 
Played those games nigga when I was younger in life 
`Til I seen another man`s life cut short with a knife 
Lose teeth, cause beef, no peace with us 
Ya can`t hang, and ya sho` can`t eat with us 
When times get tough, the tough get rough and drastic 
Never been blasted, never been an arrogant bastard 
But I coulda been a lawyer, I shoulda been a doctor 
I never been a actor, I`m nothin but a monster 
I move in silence, speak with violence 
Think with science, live free and walk with lions 
Cats around me with gats like Yasser Arafat 
It takes a nation of millions to hold me back 
Pounds of cush to push what I`m talkin about 
It`s hard to talk the talk with a gauge in yo mouth 
It`s hard to walk the walk with ya back blew out 
Don`t let the things that you can`t change stress you out 
Cause X take the money and run, and raise a man from a son 
And change the world with the power of one c`mon 
 
[Chorus]
