A Week Ago (一周前) - Jay-Z (杰斯)/Too Short[00:00:00]
Written by:Christopher[00:00:00]
It was all good just a week ago[00:00:03]
Last week I had everything I had the money had the cars[00:00:06]
Had this all good just a week ago[00:00:09]
The b**ches and the jewelry[00:00:14]
And then my motherf**king ni**a started snitching b**ch[00:00:17]
Growing up in the hood just my dog and me[00:00:21]
We used to hustle in the hood for all to see[00:00:23]
Problems I called on him he called on me[00:00:26]
We wasn't quite partners I hit him off my p[00:00:29]
Let him unlock doors off my keys[00:00:32]
Yeah we spoke much more than cordially[00:00:34]
Man he broke bread with me my business spread swiftly[00:00:37]
The feds came to get me we both fled quickly[00:00:40]
Wasn't quick enough to jump over the hedges with me[00:00:42]
Got caught and that's when our relationship strayed[00:00:45]
Used to call me from the joint 'til he ran out of change[00:00:47]
And when he called collect and I heard his name[00:00:50]
I quickly accepted but when I reached the phone[00:00:53]
He's talking reckless I can sense deceit in his tone[00:00:55]
I said damn dog what nine weeks and you're home[00:00:58]
He said main man you think sh*t's sweet 'cause you're home[00:01:00]
I just sat spat no more speech in the phone[00:01:03]
The crackers up there bleachin' your dome you're reachin'[00:01:06]
I said the world don't stop I've got to keep keep on[00:01:09]
From there I sensed the beef was on[00:01:11]
I ran to the spy store to add some more features on my phone[00:01:13]
To see if I had bugs and leeches on my phone[00:01:17]
Can't be too safe cause *s is two faced[00:01:19]
And they show the other side[00:01:22]
When they catch a new case it's on[00:01:23]
It was cool when you had hella w**d to smoke[00:01:25]
And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks[00:01:27]
I don't see how this side of you could be provoked[00:01:30]
Uh huh uh huh it was all good just a week ago[00:01:33]
Funny what seven days can change[00:01:35]
A stand up ni**a now you sit down to aim[00:01:38]
Used to have a firm grip now you dropping names[00:01:41]
It was all good just a week ago[00:01:44]
Like I put the toast to your head and made you sell[00:01:46]
We both came in this game blind as hell[00:01:49]
I did a little better had more clientele[00:01:51]
Told you put away some cheddar now you cryin' for bail[00:01:54]
Seventeen and I'm holding on to around a mill'[00:01:56]
I could bail out and blow trial and come around on appeal[00:01:59]
Had *s thinking I was from uptown for real[00:02:02]
I had so much hustle plus I was down to ill[00:02:04]
Like a Brooklyn ni**a straight out of Brownsville[00:02:07]
Down and dirty down to fight to round 30[00:02:10]
Freezing on them corners still holding my crack[00:02:13]
Looking up and down the block the f**k is the dough at[00:02:15]
Came from flat broke to letting the dough stack[00:02:18]
You tell them feds I said I'm never going back[00:02:21]
I'm from marcy and marcy don't raise no rats[00:02:23]
You know the consequences of your acts you can't be serious[00:02:26]
It was cool when you had hella w**d to smoke[00:02:29]
And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks[00:02:31]
I don't see how this side of you could be provoked[00:02:34]
Uh huh uh huh it was all good just a week ago[00:02:36]
Funny what seven days can change[00:02:39]
A stand up ni**a now you sit down to aim[00:02:42]
Used to have a firm grip now you dropping names[00:02:44]
It was all good just a week ago[00:02:48]
The lawyer I retained you said you leakin' some things[00:02:50]
All this after a week in the bing[00:02:52]
I'm mad at myself cause I didn't spot the weakling[00:02:54]
I would've bet the house you wouldn't speak a thing[00:02:58]
Ni**a this was the oath to the top or broke[00:03:00]
Even pricked our finger anything that got between us[00:03:03]
We supposed to cock the ninas what happened to that[00:03:06]
Instead you copped out to a misdemeanor[00:03:08]
F**k it the same thing make you laugh make you cry[00:03:11]
That's right the same game[00:03:14]
That make you math could make you die[00:03:15]
It's a dice game and sometimes you crap[00:03:16]
Who would've thought you'd get popped one time and rat[00:03:19]
Now you know that's bad when your sister is mad[00:03:22]
And your son gotta grow up like this is my dad[00:03:24]
The labeling of a snitch is a lifetime scar[00:03:27]
You'll always be in jail ni**a just minus the bars[00:03:30]
It was cool when you had hella w**d to smoke[00:03:32]
And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks[00:03:35]
I don't see how this side of you could be provoked[00:03:37]
Uh huh uh huh it was all good just a week ago[00:03:40]
Funny what seven days can change[00:03:43]
A stand up ni**a now you sit down to aim[00:03:45]
Used to have a firm grip now you dropping names[00:03:48]
It was all good just a week ago[00:03:52]
Sh*t is crazy man all these *s out here snitchin' crack money[00:03:55]
And recycling it through the ghettos and building back up our own hoods[00:04:05]
Now all you *s start snitchin' on each other[00:04:09]
I got partners doing 15–20[00:04:12]
Wouldn't have been doing sh*t if you didn't snitch b**ch[00:04:15]
It's about time y'all check that sh*t out man[00:04:21]
It ain't all good shut your mouth just watch the game and don't snitch[00:04:24]
It sure will do a lot for you believe that baby Jay Z short dawg's [00:04:36]
In the house mane[00:04:44]
You know I got it got it going on[00:04:46]
We got the money[00:04:51]
Ain't got nothing to do with crime baby[00:04:54]
But I'm recognizing[00:04:57]
You rat bastard[00:04:59]
