[Verse 1] I never really knew that reminiscing was real But i remember bk and i remember the ville I left the empire state Playing on the dreams that i wish it were real I left my beef on the grill A dream is what i used to transport up in my jansport They tried to sit me out i wouldn't stand for it Type of kid to get pushed back but i land forward My success is planned for I seen no pa**ion in your dribble What the hell you playin' for Why won't you let yo man score Why don't you toss him something off the backboard We used to chase the honeys that would act bored But a chikita is all i wanted I had keys to a Honda but i wrecked that n***as tried and test my water so i step back I hit em with the wave Until this day n***as asking kaj "how you connect that" Man they saying you changed Like a dollar to 4 quarters But yo face is the same You must be hitting some things Or now you grippin' that green Like sand through the hour gla** I couldn't wait to get out of cla** And clown with my n***as in the hallways I came a long way ,i used to be a sears cashier I never thought that i'd be here last year As you look over your right shoulder Jake's about to pull you over Put that sack in yo nuts Real n***as with turn synonymous with real n***as You ain't goin never get a deal n***a Give up for real n***a And you can try and destroy But you won't ever shake my pill of rejoy
