"I Remember" lyrics
[Strap:]
Devil always follow yo shadow
Praying to the Lord you make it through the battle
Snakes in the grass tryna bite you in the asshole
Tryna be sneaky but man I heard the rattle
Close the door letting the flies in the house
Always keep it real never lie from ya mouth
Please don't sleep with them pies in ya house
'Cause them trap boys come and leave ya tied to the couch
I remember riding 'round with pops seeing not yo's
Pulling 'round Decatur in a all-black Tahoe
Mama told me be a soldier, don't take what not yo's
Daddy tried to show me but he got locked up when I was four
Then I turned back to hell
Start cutting the fool at school
When I turned 15 got locked up my first to Gwinnet county
Damn I'm fucked up what I'm a do
Mama like damn boy what I'm a do with you
I remember
[Quez:]
The days when I used to rock the skint fade
Always stayed with a pair of MJs
(Spiffy)
Dad always spoiled us
Mama told him don't do it 'cause he can't get everything for us
To cool for elementary
Evidentally
That's why they retained his ass
Asking questions like Rico why yo child so bad
And why every time he lie he change his story so fast (fast)
First sophomore year in high school
Write my name on the wall like it's my school
Dad gone so you know I turned straight to them street
Got shot one time frozed up for weeks
Never went to church just to hear the preacher preach
Gotta change my life around 'cause you know that wasn't me
Gotta baby on the way now you know that couldn't be
That's a black man life man you know that wouldn't be
Quez
[Ali:]
I remember them times when my mama ain't have no money
She was hustling hard just to fill up my little tummy
I was just in middle school acting a little dummy
Tryna be cool doing no work, messing with honeis
(Dem girls)
But ian no other wise
'Til my mama beat me on my back side
She'll say, "No TV and no outside."
No talking on the phone 'til you calm down
Now I'm thanking, I'm 'bout to give up
Naw I'm a go head and do this work and get my grades up
Why blame it on my mama she who raised us
And deep inside I know she'll never betray us
(For real)
So do what you got to do today in order to do what you wanna do tomorrow
Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow ah!
Devil always follow yo shadow
Praying to the Lord you make it through the battle
Snakes in the grass tryna bite you in the asshole
Tryna be sneaky but man I heard the rattle
Close the door letting the flies in the house
Always keep it real never lie from ya mouth
Please don't sleep with them pies in ya house
'Cause them trap boys come and leave ya tied to the couch
I remember riding 'round with pops seeing not yo's
Pulling 'round Decatur in a all-black Tahoe
Mama told me be a soldier, don't take what not yo's
Daddy tried to show me but he got locked up when I was four
Then I turned back to hell
Start cutting the fool at school
When I turned 15 got locked up my first to Gwinnet county
