|
As I sit in my silver stack thinking about way back |
|
Even before I started blazing the chronic sack |
|
I was a go wild unfocused troublesome kid |
|
Looking up to all the gangsters and the shit they did |
|
I was at unimpressionable age through a faze |
|
An unmentionable stage deranged full of rage |
|
Walking through life in a haze with dark clouds |
|
Hanging over my head being wicked and loud |
|
And sometimes those demons haunt me and taunt me |
|
Follow me pursue me confuse me they want me |
|
They come at me from all angles and dangles |
|
Memories in front of me, but I wont run away |
|
I put the gun away but sometimes my hand ditches |
|
But I don't want to get locked away cause I whack bitches |
|
I left those ways back in the old days |
|
So go away I don't got no time to throw away |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (we fight and we struggle out here so we can stay alive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (got to do what I got to do out her so I can survive) |
|
I got my education on the streets |
|
And I learned how to spit rhymes out with or without beats |
|
To say whatever I went through or going through |
|
Tripping off people who acting like they been knowin you |
|
Learn how some of these record companies be holdin you |
|
Attaching an image in the end controllin you |
|
But we set out to set ourselves apart |
|
And let these people know just what they had from the start |
|
It's like Ghostface said we studied our art form |
|
We turned the mike on and spit a fucking dark storm |
|
People slept on me and doubted my skill level |
|
But I'm tenacious and I got a strong will level |
|
You been introduced to some of the real rebels |
|
Injected with venom from god to kill devils |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (we fight and we struggle out here so we can stay alive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (got to do what I got to do out her so I can survive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (we fight and we struggle out here so we can stay alive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (got to do what I got to do out her so I can survive) |
|
I remember my days as youth |
|
Teenage gangsters with somethin to prove |
|
See man amuse and we creep and we strew |
|
Catch your ass slipping and dump on their crew |
|
Just -- having fun but you crazy kids |
|
Never thought about no prison beds |
|
Got gang-sters twenty-five and alive |
|
Never see the kids all fucking wild |
|
But that's the game and shit don't change |
|
Get respect for smoking brains |
|
You get a name and you build your rep |
|
You courting fools coming in your set |
|
Before you know we're having fun |
|
Slamming doping and packing gun |
|
Leaving mad traces and blasting their faces |
|
Got a hundred years for all my fucking cases |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (we fight and we struggle out here so we can stay alive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (got to do what I got to do out here so I can survive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (we fight and we struggle out here so we can stay alive) |
|
Memories they haunt me (they haunt me) they follow me |
|
To the day I die (got to do what I got to do out here so we can survive) |
