Take You Back - Intellectual

[Hook: Tony G]

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

[Verse 1: A.L.T.]

I take you back in my past, I used to live life fast

And yo, it wasn't shit to let the .38 blast

I had it going on with the bitches and hoes, too

Yo, come to think about it, so did my whole crew

We bumped the old school jams from the east coast

We was the baddest Mexicans out of East Los

Back in the days, many crews got hushed

It seems every night, me and my homies got rushed

But we never back down, even if we got beat down

We came back next week to the same town

And we was ready for them but they still figure

That they could do us so Tiny pulled a steel trigger

I had a .38 special, not a A.K

As we sped away, Tony G. was on payday

Mama told me, "Yo, Al, you better change your ways"

And I'm a take you way back in the days

And I'm a

[Hook: Tony G]

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

[Verse 2: A.L.T.]

Back in '83, we hit the party like fifteen deep

I kept the chrome in my jacket so nobody'll creep

Rapping on the instrumental side

While Julio G. made the crossfade glide

Yo, I always had to carry me a half pint

Sipping it and stirring on the mic, all night

My homie Tiny O. has had my back

And a trained pitbull that was trained to attack

And then I crack the 40 and it's on

Yo, tilt the 40 and it's gone

Then, I might trip on a ex-freak

And I always had a flyer for the party on the next week

I seen my girl and I surprise her

Holding up the wall with some Loc's and a tall can of Budweiser

Puffing on a joint cause nobody smoke crack

And I'm a take ya to the days of way back

[Hook: Tony G]

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

[Verse 3: A.L.T]

Me and my primo, we was rolling drop

And we was dodging the cops

Cause we was looking for the crew spot

Rolling in a six-deuce

I'm a target cause Mexicans never had a gang truce

Hit the spot, and it's dark

My primo said, "Park!"

Then we bailed out a '62 Skylark

Yeah, this vato rolled up

"Where you from, holmes?"

I dropped my 40 but Blanco said, "Stop, holmes"

I took two steps back, I could tell he was packed

Plus the skinny motherfucker's on crack

I turned and dashed nine blocks

I heard nine shots, now my primo's in a pine box

And if I go back and get him

I know, I can get him, squeeze the trigger on the nine

I hit 'em and as I reminisce about my life

It's no wonder I still got my life

And I'm a take you back

[Hook: Tony G]

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

(And I'ma take you back.)

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

(Way back...)

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")

(Back in the time)

"Take it back" ("Yeah...")
