"Marm Era" lyrics
[?] get my teeth fixed
When I was just a lil' don at the start
Dribble up the block, start a lil' pickup game in the park
Or lookin' at the park out my window and saw
It was all filled with the Hasidic kids
From the school we lived on top of it
It sit across a monument built for the Civil War
Ain't gon' break it down even a little more
Though shit's ridiculous if that's where you live, you'd know
Try and give a little visual before I kick this flow
Walkin' up 94th, path perpendicular to the corner store
It was right around the corner, bumped into big dog
Told him live long and live strong
Told him we gon' put the Upper West on on ball
We gon' get it on, leg, leg, arm, hat on
Who's this? Sound like some bullshit
Patrick, not Ewing
Morales, but not your average Catholic school student
From the little mud, let me show you how I do it
Sign with big balls, not new to big balls
Don't give a fuck what I get called, a vagabond
I'ma treat the block like my living room even when I'm on
Loungin', not a couch, it's a bench or some steps I'm on
Sit on whatever it is, piss and strong
Where and when this song set born
At the end of the mall era, long leathers
But we gon' skip ahead
Let's start off on the mall mirror
Get robbed if you had it on in the wrong weather
It would really start in December
When the temperature started to dwindle
The 700 was essential down to the 700th feather
Any less wasn't acceptable
Penny less, come and get yours and get warm
Cost a couple deaths, a few I recollect
Two in the LES when I was in school
Runnin' up and down Manhattan, mental
With my mom's temperament and my father's temper
Treats, put that into something far more special
But it's not all so simple, it don't tend to be
Still saw far more potential
When I was off, got disrespectful
Only way to let it out to grab a pen or pencil
Get it out, if I couldn't spell it out
Explain it, I'd yell it out
Like I was vendin' at the game
Sellin' pretzels, but I was ventin'
My restlessness can make me selfish when I repented
Just give it a second, gave it several, still stay reckless
I ain't pretendin' (Never)
Everything I'm sayin', I remembered
Like it was yesterday, it makes me tremble
When I see the face of the youth who I resemble
Doin' the same things the same way I did, maybe better
It can't just be coincidental
I ain't came in the game for fame, I came to influence you
Ain't gotta know my name, still influential
It make me sentimental, that don't change
When I was just a lil' don at the start
Dribble up the block, start a lil' pickup game in the park
Or lookin' at the park out my window and saw
It was all filled with the Hasidic kids
From the school we lived on top of it
It sit across a monument built for the Civil War
Ain't gon' break it down even a little more
Though shit's ridiculous if that's where you live, you'd know
Try and give a little visual before I kick this flow
