Big Mike: Havin Thangs

Hmm, heh, stay wiv me

[Chorus:]

Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (I gots ta have it)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made

Time plans change and change comes with time
Throughout these years I learned to get down for mine
Had to do some crime
With the attitude of not givin a fuck
Born with no luck, refuse to stay stuck
I make the bucks
Did what I had to, I did what I could
My rise to the top was no surprise cos I knew dat I would
make it, oh, the chance I had to take it
Fake it, never
because that nigga was too clever
If there ever was a motherfuckin die for his crime
it had to be me, the B-I-G Mike and he straight G
Come sun down, come sun up, gun up
for dem niggas who wanna run up
wishin my colly came up short, that nigga done what?
Fool, you think black nigga don't go for no losses
I had ta get rid of my runners so I recruited mo' horses
Down wit neighbourhood bouncers I made a connection in rows
Laid up with elbows in vogues
I just kick back and stack rows and hoes

[Chorus:]
Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Stay wiv me)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made (I gots ta have it)
Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (All my stuff here like that)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made

Times are changin, I'm livin my life in and out the dope, black!
Loungin here and there somethin screamin in my ear
"Michael go back home!" but I ain't really sure, black
I gots ta get my shit together the right way, nigga I know that
Comin up short, swangin by the tail-in
Thinkin of a masterplan, this nigga's bailin
down the road and I promise not to look back
at what I once had, what I have now, would've left left when I was two,
black
Shook that, now I'm in my own realm
Controllin shit, kickin it, never knew life could be so damn well
I got mine, everything feelin lime
Time for a change and change comes with time

[Chorus:]
Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (They done)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made (Hmm!)
Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Fool!)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made

Lock another nigga up, throw away the fuckin key
That's the way they punish me, motherfuck society
I can spend a century in a penetentiary
it won't make a difference G
cos ain't nobody missin me
Round and round and round we go, a diff'rent day, a diff'rent face
Damn I wish I could run away, I hate this motherfuckin place
Too many goddamn rules that's why I quit school
Givin me a quickie test, I ain't no damn fool
Can't walk out my house because they always in my face
And if I step outta place, they wanna give me a case
Ain't no difference between society and a jail house
Everybody's locked up and wanna get the hell out
Just cos you ain't locked down you think you got it good
but you better think again cos the police are checkin niggas in the
neighbourhood
beatin our ass down
Cos society is just like the pen so get ready for the lock-down
Clock now while you can, man huh
cos it's all about havin thangs
An' I'ma get mine fool!
Time for a change and change changes with time

[Chorus:]
Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Hmm)
Just another young nigga havin thangs made
