I Remember - Mr.Cheeks, Horace Brown

Whoever thought this a happen?

Hey yo, that bum nigga rappin,' took it 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 nuthin,' 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

I remember those days

You and I gettin' paid

Now we got it made, oh yeah

I remember, I remember

Aiyo, we open gates and let the dogs chase us home after school

Until my nigga Skee got bit, yo, but that was cool

We took him to the crib we laughin', growin' up

We drinkin' liquor on the stool while he throwin' up

We runnin' from school security, besides that the 102 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 ???

And all we wanna know does anybody fuckin' care?

And why this trouble follow me every fuckin' where?

(Indistinct Talking)

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 bang, let’s act ???

We knew they had a crew, but yo our crew was thick

OK, now we graduated from junior high

We into badder bitches, caine, getting money yo, we livin' fly

We got the Jordan and ball, we got the weed and all

When Chris died yo we felt 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 hood

Sling still, as though it was a good thing
