Sometimes it's hard to reminisce Ay when I'm dead and gone hope y'all remember this We was always in the streets it got us all apprenticeships It was often like a full time job but not with benefits So we tried to make the most of shit but no hope for a gutter kid Worked two jobs to pay the rent on time is what your mother did Daddy couldn't hold a job brother did another bid Now you bout to walk inside the same footsteps your brother did It's a constant struggle but I had folks that were close to me Got they back and they got mine cause that's just how it's supposed to be Brothers that we lost along the way so have a toast with me And if I focus hard enough I still could see the ghost of me Got my city tatted and I wear it like a badge of honor Put me on the stand and I don't even know that man your honor Got no memory it must've been that bad Juana And they couldn't stop us even tho we know how bad you wanna See that's the drama and part of me still miss it But every now and then I take a shot and we revisit To the part of me that's gone that's the part of me complicit And it's hard to be alone but the heart of me dismiss it But we gotta keep it movin tell 'em all to push and strive And bust open a Vega baby put the Kush inside From staring over steering wheels to cars we couldn't drive I know it's far from over baby boy so look alive This shit craaazy This shit craaazyyy Yeah Uh To all my friends, To my 3 brothers I love y'all That's how it went, when we were kids Life in 48 bars Probably stole about 48 cars Stuck my weed inside like 48 jars Had to learn this shit the hard way that shorty ain't ours Or she definitely wasn't mine though All the time invested wasn't all a waste of time though Only times a wasted if it doesn't make your mind grow And if your eyes are closed I guess you might as well be blind so Like I said, that's a hard lesson learned Had to properly school myself in the art of getting burned Had to face some consequences that I thought I didn't earn But that shit is in the past now it's not of his concern Really not of my concern was the thought of getting right Never hang around with dogs that always bark but didn't bite It was always circumstances that we often didn't like But my mama had a way of turning darkness into light Always arguments and fights so I'd hit the streets and roam And end up getting places with no way of getting home When's it's time to face the music ain't no need to bitch and moan Cause the time inside a cage taught me to sit and be alone How to make it on my own went from mystery to known Went from catching misdemeanors but now this demeanor gone Contradictory at times but the history is known So I sit and write this music hoping this could lead us home
