Twizzy - Early Dayz

Let me take you back
To Arlington Ave
When I was living west
Just everything I think about the shit I need a blunt of sess
Pop wasn’t never around
Still don’t know where he at
Mama did the best to hold shit down So, she get much respect
We couldn’t afford the things
That we wanted then
Yeah I was mad, the change
Wasn’t coming in
Once I realize I saw the change Comin quick. Saw my mom
At the table choppin up
Baggin nicks Dimes or 20s
We was really getting money
And we had to eat bread
Every time that we was hungry
Soon like I woke from the dream
I saw the cash gone
Note on the front door
Landlord wanting our ass gone
Came home from school
Saw my man he started laughing
I said was funny
Then look I saw my mattress
Then saw a look on my mama face As she done had it
Said son come on
The landlord done trashed our shit
Da early days dawg
They wasn’t easy one bit
When I saw life is a bitch
Never thought I grow to be shit
Da early days dawg
Mann shit was fucked up
When I knew dat luck sucked
Shit wasn’t nothin but ruff
Da early days dawg
They wasn’t easy one bit
When I saw life is a bitch
Never thought I grow to be shit
Da early days dawg
Mann shit was fucked up
When I knew dat luck sucked
Shit wasn’t nothin but ruff
What you know about
Standing in the kitchen with no lights
Tryna make a sandwich
With some shit that you don’t like
Walkin cross the projects
For a shower, 10 o’clock at night
With grandma towel in my bag
I’m like this can’t be life
Ran extension cord
From Miss Renee‘s
To do our homework
Shortly later bro say fuck it
He got our own work
Had a cool block and a glock
He wanted to save me from
I’m thinking who go hold you down Like me nigga I had to come
Bring us all up then one by one
Had a place to call home
Where we wasn’t even from
It was lovely
Til we still doing the most
Red top and cash money
Everybody else can go
The niggas ain’t like it
Caused a lil static
Mags had to grab and of course
We caused havoc
Lost a couple soldiers
Even bro had caught life
Been damn near 15
But I’m blessed here in my life
The early days dawg
Wasn’t easy one bit
When I saw life as a bitch
Never thought I grow to be shit
The early days dawg
Mann shit was fucked up
When I knew dat lucked suck
Shit wasn’t nothin but ruff
Da early days dawg
They wasn’t easy one bit
When I saw life is a bitch
Never thought I grow to be shit
Da early days dawg
Mann shit was fucked up
When I knew dat luck sucked
Shit wasn’t nothin but ruff
