In the beginning, I barely made an inning
Daddy didn't want me in a game he wasn't winning
Cause he had, 6 other lads from 4 different women
Told my ma he didn't think he really had it in him
But she had me in her, even that occurred
When monogamy wasn't in his vernacular
Ask of her, she'll tell that it's accurate
Ask of him, she'll tell you he's a sack of sh**
Not me though, poppa is my people
May have been a rolling stone but gave me everything I need to grow
Taught me everything I need to know
I know enough, to know it's him I owe
And I remember having brothers and the benefits
That came along with starting beef because I was a lippy sh**
Little Kyp, stealing momma's cigarettes
And her gin, drink a bit then got sick off it
Opposite of opulent when my story's told
I love my momma much more than she could ever know
Matty, Mike, Addy, KC, Deuce and Diesel
The Coles family, yeah, beloved people...
[Chorus:]
I remember how it
Used to be you and me doing what we believe
Usually on the free, everything you have been will be
Safe inside my memories
Everything you had to do to get us through
You and I stay alive
If I forget to be true all I got to do is
Remember you
I remember makin'
Music for the fun of it, comin' up with
New sh** cause we lovin' it, and I would never
Do this for the money I was gonna get
Gonna get, gotta get, going going gone
f**ed up when they give u money for a song
When they know it's something u would do for free
Get exploited it and then they tell u who to be, see
They wonder why the industry's burnin' and everybody's turnin' out sh**
Ain't nothin' permanent just searchin' for a hit and an outfit
Outta they're mind this audio's mine
Mine alone, leave my mind alone
With the headphones on all my stress feels gone
And I know, when I'm low and need to get it right
I remember all the music that I've had throughout my life and I'm alright
[Chorus]
