[Verse 1]:
Whoever thought this a happen?
Aiyo, that bum nigga rappin'
Took it to the top
Now I won't stop
I remember bein' broke
Cause if I didn't, nigga
I'd be frontin', reminisicin'
Where your nigga at?
Ain't nothin', never thought about
The hot outfits, jewelry, or the celly
Back then we was in the skelly
Shorties with the barrettes
Candy in the bag
The handgun
Remember when we shot the fair one?
A nigga like me had the motherfuckin'
Pro players and my Lees on
For a nickel got my squeeze on
Fly balls off the wall in the schoolyard
Swear to Gods
Got my first quickie in school garage

[Chorus]:
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
I remember, I remember

[Verse 2]:
Aiyo, we open gates and let the dogs
Chase us home after school
Until my nigga Skee got bit
But that was cool
We drinkin' liquor on the stool
While he throwin' up
We runnin' from school security
Besides that 1-0-2 cops
Yo, the man was my Grandpops
He used to air me out
He never tried to even motherfuckin' hear me out
No punishment, but here we out
We back at it again, me and my men
Yo what was realest when us niggas
Who ain't seen the pen
And all we wanna know
Does anybody fuckin' care?
And why this trouble
Follow me every fuckin' where?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]:
Aiyo, we used to hot wire cars
Bragged about the scars we collected
Tryin' to escape from them older guys
Up at the bars
They never let us drink
That's aggravatin'
We knew they had a crew
But yo, our crew was thick
Okay, now we graduated from junior high
We into badder bitchs, 'caine
Gettin' money, yo, we livin' fly
We got the Jordon and ball
We got the weed and all
When Chris dies, yo
We fell there was no need to fall
We seen it all
From welfare lines
All them good and bad times
Back then I wish I had rhymes
I got my childhood name
From my wild hoot, sling still
As thought it was a good thing

[Chorus x3]
