Its Wolfe - I Remember
I remember them dark days, back in my small days
When I used to cut class and chill in the hallways
Remember back in 96, when I thought I was popped
Hit the block with my shirt off, with a bandana round my top
Barely remember pops, that nigga never came home
He left me and big sister and my mama on our own
I remember cold winters, heating up old dinners
I remember hand washing my clothes in dish liquid
I remember mama told me the streets nothing but evil
Filled up with what's illegal, dirty and crooked people
She told me that we ain't equal to them whites
Though we got the same rights, they still got a better chance at life
Cause we born in the struggle, raised around trouble
When they judge us, they gon' charge us with double because our color
Man, I remember seeing dope on the stove
Remember betting on dice rolls at nine years old
Yesterday is what it felt like
When I used to be doing bad in the class
Come home and my mama mad
Used to stay being accused of breaking all of the rules
Like I had a point to prove, so they threw me out of school
I remember food stamps before they was on the card
Eating ramen noodles fresh out the pack in the front yard
It's still hard, ain't nothing changed
I got older and I got smarter
But I'm still under that water from the hurricanes
I never had nothing, but I don't jack nothing
Cause God made it to where I'ma see this rap money
And haters act funny, cause they know I'ma get it
89 born with it, flow hot warm lyrics
Where I been, what I seen, they ain't got a clue
15 years of living, man, I thought I was through
But God got a gift, he told me hold the grip
And never slip, just let them keep hating, running they lips
Feel like I'm fighting the world and everybody in it
Like everybody against me, everybody an enemy
They won't see me in the grave or locked up in a cage
But I'm just out here trying to get paid
I'm just trying to stack my ends, I really don't need friends
They the main ones who robbed you, even if they your kin
I got family in the pen, so I ain't taking that route
Cause I know once you in the system, ain't no way to get out
