Текст (слова) песни: Esham - Back in Da Day

 
[Intro] 
Uh, yo.. 
A thug changes, and love changes 
And best friends become strangers 
A thug changes, and love changes 
Yo, uh.. 
 
[Verse 1] 
Can it be, that I stayed away for too long? 
Did I leave your mind when I was gone? 
Baby ain`t no need to pretend I ain`t actin` live 
I`m like a young ass Michael from the Jackson Five 
HEE HEE! But you don`t feel me 
The industry for years been tryin` to kill me 
Me, and my niggaz stay in the cracks like roaches 
Always runnin` from the raids when the cops approach us 
Man my style is just too ferocious 
Been spittin` potent dope for years, that`s why I overdoses 
Now I`m gonna tell you how it all began 
Before Eminem, before all of them 
I`ma tell you how they tried to play me 
How my city betrayed me, made me fuckin` go crazy 
Made me carry the AK in the back with my bay-bays 
Yeah.. 
 
[Hook] 
This world`s so cold, I`ma let you know 
You can`t get away with tryin` to steal my flow 
 
[Verse 2] 
In `88, I set up shop before Detroit had shock 
Kid Rock never rode a bike down my block 
Remember Homie The Clown? 
And that`s about the time ICP put it down 
Detroit`s most wanted, K-Ice and Maistro and Smiley 
I was at the Disk, spendin` bank with Gregg Riley 
Even though we was movin` units every day 
Still gots no love or radio play 
Maybe because I won`t pay payola 
Known in the streets for movin` yoca cola 
Me and my brother, tryin` to get up out the ghetto 
Take care of my mother, cause I love her 
It was no Hip-Hop Shops or freestyle battles 
Only a city full of snakes that rattle 
Remember, sugar is sugar and salt is salt 
If they didn`t sell records, it`s not my fault 
I used to watch the scene with Natt Morris 
I dedicate this to Detroit, now I`ma sing the chorus 
 
[Chorus] 
So high, you can`t get over it 
So high, you can`t get over it 
So low, that`s why I`m holding it 
So low, that`s why I`m holding it 
 
[Verse 3] 
Boss up, a real soldier learn to take orders 
So his game is still pulled through in the fourth quarter 
I know you can`t believe that you`ve all been decieved 
It`s like a girl sayin` her hair real but it`s a weave 
Feminem is a style, She-Twelve is an age 
She lives across 8 mile, but still can get gauged 
KKKill the fetus, please believe this, word to Jesus 
I got niggaz with the blowoff in they freezers 
Facts is facts and fiction`s fiction 
If you can`t take the heat, stay up out the kitchen 
I remember droppin` Hellter Skkkelter 
Before Devil`s Night, I could`ve burned down the Shelter 
We was bumpin` Awesome Dre 
Representin` Detroit way before you met Dr. Gay 
All my underground niggaz up at c Notes 
Open mic, spittin` wicked shit that we wrote 
There wasn`t no East to West Coast 
Just Awol, Rap Mafia, DJ Eazy B and Los 
 
[Hook] 
This world`s so cold, I`ma let you know 
You can`t get away with tryin` to steal my flow
