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
