I Remember

[00:00.82] I want you to sit back, close your eyes
[00:05.44] And think about all those wonderful times that we used to have here
[00:09.90] Now I know things aren't the way they use to be right now
[00:13.50] But they are going to get better some day
[00:17.11] And I know that...
[00:19.92] Ever since I was about 12 that's when they documented me
[00:23.53] A gang member let me tell you my autobiography
[00:26.29] Ay I can't let it to be frenetic, it must have been genetic
[00:29.98] To get in trouble with the law take when I break
[00:31.77] I'm strapped from the balls that's what I use to do
[00:32.65] Smoking a joint or two Lil' Rob getting a little blaze
[00:35.31] Welcome to my concrete maze, remember the days
[00:37.13] I remember going to school, we meet by the track smoking a sack
[00:39.04] With the vato I sold it too, get him stoned
[00:41.76] Then I jack it back, remember the guero use to look at us all
[00:43.59] Funny and strange, cause my pants was bigger then theirs
[00:46.28] But now they all wear them the same
[00:47.10] I used to get jealous, wondering why I didn't have the same rights
[00:49.99] Is it because I'm running up and down, eating Menudo, frijoles and rice?
[00:52.66] Someone explain to me, all of this insanity
[00:55.34] I'm not understanding you, never understanding me
[00:58.09] When a minority, gets their priorities straight
[00:59.89] We become the majority, inflate
[01:00.73] Incredible rate, controlling our fate
[01:02.60] Controlling our states, and I can't wait
[01:04.46] Remember you told me I would never amount to anything
[01:06.29] That I'll probably be on the streets sellin mota or methamphetamines
[01:08.07] So what? It made me an extra buck when I was shit outta my life
[01:11.79] You'd do the same thing homie if you were stuck
[01:13.54] And I remember, when times was easy
[01:15.30] That's what everybody says
[01:17.11] But not me, wicked ass times on S.D. streets
[01:19.00] But I still loved them (But I still love them)
[01:20.81] And had to have them. (And had to have them)
[01:23.52] And I remember! (Remember x3)
[01:28.00] Remembering the things we used to do
[01:31.63] The places we used to go
[01:35.35] And I remember kicking under the street lamps, smokin a J
[01:35.35] Hearing my Homie say, Homie pass the joint this way
[01:40.62] And this was everyday and every night was the same
[01:42.42] We didn't call each other by our first or last, but by nicknames
[01:45.25] Dreamer, Peewee, Oso Negro to name a few
[01:47.92] One passed away, rest in peace
[01:49.76] The others locked away in prison blues
[01:50.60] One of the things we use to do
[01:52.49] Can't nobody take it away from us
[01:53.45] We used to live life dangerous, time flew away like angel dust
[01:56.18] Never known as presentado levas
[01:57.99] Stay away from metiches, and chepas
[01:59.75] Talking mentiras, cause they can't beat us
[02:01.54] Mira Lil' Rob on his lowrider bicicleta
[02:04.34] Looking for muñecas, beautiful like aztecas
[02:06.14] But when it comes to love, before the agony for the ecstacy
[02:09.74] What comes around goes around
[02:10.69] So baby don't mess with me don't be testing me
[02:11.64] Cause Lil' Rob be one of a kind original individual
[02:15.21] Unforgettable memorable indelible incredible inferable
[02:17.07] And I remember, when times was easy
[02:18.82] That's what everybody says
[02:20.62] But not me, wicked ass times on S.D. streets
[02:22.54] But I still loved them (But I still love them)
[02:25.26] And had to have them. (And had to have them)
[02:27.98] And I remember! (Remember x3)
[02:29.89] Remembering the things we used to do
[02:32.48] The places we used to go
[02:35.12] Remembering the things we used to do
[02:37.02] The places we used to go
[02:37.98] Give all of my love to mi madre padre brother and sister
[02:40.68] And all of my sangre
[02:42.40] Enemies? Chale me vale verga estas afuera mirando padentro
[02:46.10] You wanna come in but you can't
[02:47.96] Cause we're not in love with no mensos
[02:48.83] Figuring it out like a pencil
[02:50.66] Treat one like a stencil
[02:52.42] Just when you think you've got a grip on life
[02:53.05] That's when you let go, ready set go
[02:54.85] It's a race to the finish and only the best gonna win this
[02:56.68] And I'm prepared to take it to outer limits or until it's finished business
[02:58.47] What is this? Gente becoming witnesses
[03:02.16] I don't know nothing, I don't hear nothing, I don't see nothing
[03:03.97] Something I learned as a kid
[03:05.76] Along with respect those who respect you
[03:07.52] Forget about the ones that will forget about you
[03:09.31] My recollection is a collection of a big section of mi vida
[03:12.15] Memories I need ya, like a junky needs his chiba
[03:14.84] I wish that I could go back and do it all over again
[03:17.58] But I know that that ain't happening, so I sit remembering
[03:20.25] And I remember, when times was easy
[03:23.09] That's what everybody says
[03:23.92] But not me, wicked ass times on S.D. streets
[03:25.78] But I still loved them (But I still love them)
[03:28.43] And had to have them. (And had to have them)
[03:31.18] And I remember! (Remember x3)
[03:32.95] Remembering the things we used to do
[03:39.33] The places we used to go
[03:40.27] I remember, remember
[03:41.17]
