[Verse 1 - Slaine:] Before my prime I took the orange line With my stuff kicks Sometimes dusty I fantasize of having plush whips Romanticize on world tours Day dreams are interrupted Buy colds nights and frosty women yeah the one who s** dick My culture being high d**, liquor and gambling Fist fighting with hot heads, pushing powder or flanagans Mush is betting outlandishing Trying but they cannot win Danny got scared he lost a grand and brought his hand gun in I close my eyes and I can still remember Janets grin Before she was junkie in the halfway house my aunt is in How do I tell these stories, feels like I can't begin Living is salty when my grandma got her cancer Jimmy taught me how to be a man Throwing punches, paying rent I stay determined for one day I'll be the main event The past it move fast, every day I came and went All I got is my memories 'cause I can never save a cent [Hook - Cyrus DeShield:] I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I live And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a Polaroid picture [Verse 2 - J The S:] I've been reading all the signs I've been speaking from my mind I've been drinking all the time That's what they say Might've broke a couple hearts Broke a couple laws When you up against the odds J the S, live from the land of hope and dreams Where archangels fly with broken wings Smoke screens can steal the lives Emcees Stealing rhymes, OC's stealing lives Friends I used to admire, Expire in his junkies Begging for change and for the donkeys that haunts me Like the ghost of XPO cancer in his stomach and lungs Stole my friend he was barely 31 You know we the one, and reffer ease my mind Haters never see me they just see me on my grind Never bite my tongue son I need to speak my mind We on the same page I just read between the lines [Hook - Cyrus DeShield:] I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I live And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a Polaroid picture [Verse - 3 Dutch Rebelle:] Kept the skully low on doobie For those who thought they knew me My life is like a movie When these actors write their script wrong Sick of getting did wrong So I kept my pace in this race Blowing' by 'em like the officers I dipped on Water for cornflakes, Stirring coco powder Check Howards by the hour They claiming up like chowder My concepts are hard steps Long leaps, hard turns Real pains that I've learned I've lost but I've earned The right to roam the night Gripped the bottle tight Wickedness in everything I write Peak into my life Couple times I had to duck right Had to block a jab, Tap into my temple when I write Mix it in the lab Cause I've been battling demons But still over achieving, Few d**hs They have my grieving in church I'm sneaking freezing Let my mother say my prayers 'cause I'm living in hell Cause if I don't belong in heaven then I'm happy I fell [Hook - Cyrus DeShield:] I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I love And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a Polaroid picture
