Artist/Band: Too Short
Lyrics for Song: That'A How It Goes Down
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Too Short



[Chorus]

You're thuggin and you love the streets

huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat

and niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about

niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out

That's how it goes down

What happened to the days when we could hug a block

flippin rocks and just get money

I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall



[Verse One]

I came up in cokeland, better known as Oakland

your weed could sell, are you smokin

Eighteen with a big mercedes

sellin dope in the mid-eighties

Homie talkin bout I'm about to win

now when you gon' let'em all out the pen

You sold crack to hell and back

whoever would have thought you could fail at that

Or you could just hit the block

stayin on the corner, come and get the rocks

Bein out on the streets as a young teen

wasn't always a fun thing



[Chorus]

You're thuggin and you love the streets

huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat

and niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about

niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out

That's how it goes down

What happened to the days when we could hug a block

flippin rocks and just get money

I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall

That's how it goes down



[Verse Two]

Dope fiend still get high

while dope dealers barely get by

You better get your life right

you wanna live in the 'burbs with your white wife

Do your own thing

I know you want change

and I can't play you wrong man

I'm laced with that long game

It's just not a lot of choices man

you aint plannin to go to jail with the poison clan

So you could be another number in the system, stuck, for years

got a brother fucked up

All the stashes you know you kept

and everything that the police left

It's too late when you notice it

it's all gone, motherfuckers done stole yo shit

You wanna kill'em and you still do

but realize that real killas get killed too



[Chorus]

You're thuggin and you love the streets

huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat

and niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about

niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out

That's how it goes down

What happened to the days when we could hug a block

flippin rocks and just get money

I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall

That's how it goes down



[Verse Three]

He's dissappeared into thin air, he's nowhere

whens the last time he been here, we don't care

Cause he don't come around no mo'

nigga live with his momma, down in brough

He's just tryin to survive

I guess it's all right cause at least he's alive

cause nowadays a lil kid might shoot you down

Life's wild in the town

young fools like to clown

He did the same thing fall for the lies

hold your head up high and swallowed the pride

Caught in a trap, but don't know that you in

had a million, now you ain't got two cents

You can't say nothin, now what

I don't hear you talkin all that loud stuff

If you live and you die by the game and you lose

at least you did spend your life tryin to change



[Chorus]

You're thuggin and you love the streets

huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat

and niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about

niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out

That's how it goes down

What happened to the days when we could hug a block

flippin rocks and just get money

I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall

That's how it goes down



That's how it goes down

That's how it goes down

That's how it goes down



[Singing]

I remember when we had it all...(we had it all)

and I remember when we used to ball...(we used to ball)

I remember, don't you remember

when we had it all, we used to ball



That's how it goes down

That's how it goes down

That's how it goes down
