Uh-huh That's right Uh-huh-uh, it was all good just a week ago Last week I had everything Uh, uh-huh-uh, had this all good just a week ago I had the money had the cars, the b****es Uh-huh, yeah, it was all good just a week ago And the jewelry And then my motherf***in' n****s started snitchin' Uh-huh, uh uh, yo Beyotch Growin' up in the hood just my dog and me We used to hustle in the hood for, all to see Problems, I called on him, he called on me We wasn't quite partners, I hit him off my P Met him unlocked doors, off my keys Yeah we spoke, much more than cordially Man he broke bread with me, my business spreads with me The Feds came to get me, we both fled quickly Wasn't quick enough to jump over the hedges with me Got caught, and that's when our relationship strayed Used to call me from the joint 'til he ran out of change And when he called collect and I heard his name I quickly accepted, but when I reached the phone He's talkin' reckless, I can sense deceit in his tone I said, "Damn dawg, what, nine weeks and you're home?" He said, "Main man, you think s***'s sweet 'cause you're home" I just sat, spat no more speech in the phone The crackers up there bleachin' your dome, you're reachin' I said, "The world don't stop I've got to keep keep on" From there I sensed the beef was on I ran to the spot, store to add some more features to my phone To see if I had bugs and leeches on my phone Can't be too safe 'cause n****s is two-faced And they show the other side when they catch a new case, it's on It was cool when you had hella weed to smoke And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks I don't see how this side of you could be provoked (Uh-huh, uh-huh, it was all good just a week ago) Funny what, seven days can change A stand up n****, now you sit down to aim Used to have a firm grip now you droppin' names Uh-huh, uh-huh (It was all good just a week ago) Like I put the toast to your head and made you sell We both came in this game, blind as hell I did a little better, had more clientele Told you put away some cheddar now you cryin' for bail Seventeen and I'm holdin' on to around a mill I could bail out and blow trial and come around on the pill Had n****s thinkin' I was from Uptown for real I had so much hustle plus I was down to ill Like a Brooklyn n****, straight out of Brownsville Down and dirty, down to fight the round thirty Freezin' on them corners still holdin' my crack Lookin' up and down the block, the f*** is the dough at? Came from flat broke to lettin' the dough stack You tell them feds I said I'm never goin' back I'm from Marcy, and Marcy don't raise no rats You know the consequences of your acts, you can't be serious It was cool when you had hella weed to smoke And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks I don't see how this side of you could be provoked, b**** (Uh-huh, uh-huh, it was all good just a week ago) Funny what, seven days can change A stand up n****, now you sit down to aim Used to have a firm grip now you droppin' names Uh-huh, uh-huh (Man s*** was all good just a week ago) The lawyer I retained you said you leakin' some things All this after a week in the bang I'm mad at myself 'cause I didn't spot the weak and lame I woulda bet the house you wouldn't speak a thang N**** this was the oath, to the top of broke Even pricked our finger, anything that got between us We supposed to c*** the ninas, what happened to that? Instead you copped out to a misdemeanor F*** it, the same thing make you laugh make you cry That's right, the same game that make you mad could make you die It's a dice game, and sometimes you crap Who woulda thought you'd get popped one time and rap? Now you know that's bad when your sister is mad And your son gotta grow up like, "This is my dad?" The labeling of a snitch is a lifetime scar You'll always be in jail n****, just minus the bars It was cool when you had hella weed to smoke And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks I don't see how this side of you could be provoked (Uh-huh, uh-huh, it was all good just a week ago) Funny what, seven days can change A stand up n****, now you sit down to aim Used to have a firm grip now you droppin' names Uh-huh, uh-huh (It was all good just a week ago) S*** is crazy man, all these n****s out here snitchin' We was one step away from takin' this crack money And recyclin' it through the ghettos and buildin' back up our own hoods Now all you n****z start snitchin' on each other I got partners doin' fifteen to twenty wouldn't been doin' s*** If you didn't snitch, beyotch It's about time y'all check that s*** out man It ain't all good shut your mouth, just watch the game and don't snitch It sure will do a lot for you, believe that baby Jay-Z, Short Dawg's in the house main You know I got it, got it goin' on, we got the money Ain't got nothin' to do with crime baby but I'm recognizing You rat bastard
