I Remember

[00:00.12] (Pipe that shit up, TnT)
[00:01.45] (LC)
[00:03.91]
[00:22.80] It was trials and tribulations on the road to chasing that paper
[00:26.18] Seen so many faces, been so many places, caught some cases
[00:29.46] Crazy thing is, out of all life done taught me
[00:32.48] Before you get one win, you gotta take a thousand losses
[00:35.15] I remember, nigga, yeah (straight up, you know me)
[00:40.58] How would I ever forget? How could I ever forget? (Yeah, yeah)
[00:46.62] I remember, oh, I remember
[00:51.85] How could I ever forget? How would I ever forget?
[00:58.06] I remember everything, the shine and the struggle
[01:01.21] I remember all the pain, all the grind, all the hustle
[01:04.25] I remember elementary when pops would come and get me
[01:07.25] And take me to the neighborhood with Valerria and Whitney
[01:10.13] Then pops had went to prison, I remember every letter
[01:12.98] I remember bitches playing with my heart 'cause I would let 'em
[01:16.14] I remember what's-his-name told me, "Bro, let's stick together"
[01:18.99] But we couldn't stick together 'cause niggas change just like the weather
[01:22.02] I still remember the first night when I met Mr. Raymond
[01:24.84] I was on the block with Glocks when Uncle Dereck came to save me
[01:28.08] Remember back in middle school when I met Derek Bailey
[01:30.85] And he taught me how to sack that weed, stack that cheese, and save it
[01:33.83] But I still fucked it up, I remember tryna shake back
[01:36.83] Me and Sir Kendrick in the kitchen cookin' fake crack
[01:39.98] I remember my first show, I remember who booked me
[01:42.75] I remember all you opps from middle school, them niggas was pussy
[01:45.55] I remember my first stolen car, I was with Lil Chaz
[01:48.77] I had just jumped off the porch, but lil' bruh was moving fast
[01:51.52] I remember when I first met Kareem, we was coolin'
[01:54.51] A year later, we was breakin' in them houses, shootin' movies
[01:57.61] If we catch a nigga late night, no pipe, it's a wrap
[02:00.34] We made lil' what's-his-name jump off his bike and that's a fact
[02:03.16] Remember when I first caught a buzz with my raps
[02:06.12] Money came and niggas changed and stabbed me in my back
[02:09.52] Remember when I first confessed my love and I cried
[02:12.23] Asked you 'bout that other fuck nigga, and you lied
[02:15.22] No longer could I stand to see the truth in your eyes
[02:18.27] So I went somewhere else to find love, and you know why
[02:21.82] Remember sitting in my cell blaming the streets
[02:24.43] Mama came to see me, said the blame was on me
[02:27.03] Remember Lenny died, the city cried for a week
[02:30.18] I remember when you niggas testified on Lil C
[02:33.25] It was trials and tribulations on the road to chasing that paper (I remember, I remember, nigga)
[02:36.70] Seen so many faces, been so many places, caught some cases
[02:39.94] Crazy thing is, out of all life done taught me
[02:42.79] Before you get one win, you gotta take a thousand losses
[02:45.57] I remember, nigga, yeah
[02:48.64]
[02:50.78] How would I ever forget? How could I ever forget?
[02:56.78] I remember, oh, I remember
[03:02.60] How could I ever forget? How would I ever forget?
