Petey Pablo - I Remember lyrics

[Verse 1: Petey Pablo] You know folks still calling me wrong for leaving home But I don't think I was wrong at all Leaving home was the best thing I done On account of the child I was I wasn't neglected Or mistreated or nothing I was just stubborn Didn't wanna listen to a Mother$%#$%# I had a road of my own, I had to travel on I had to get gone I was too anxious Wanted it too bad Wanted it too fast So I moved too fast Never been the type to hold out my hand So I had to go hand to hand And hit the street corners I'm a street runner Didn't wanna be But these things I achieved in the streets they look good on me But at the same time I heard my Momma [Hook: Petey Pablo] I can remember just like it was yesterday Walking down Fairfax Crossing Fifth and Fourteenth [Verse 2: Petey Pablo] A lot of folk talk bad about the Pin But I'm pretty glad for the Pin If it hadn't a been for the Pin Wouldn't a had it in me to win Probably wouldn't of been right here where I'm is right now Learned some good sh** from the Pin Went in a confused child And came out an understanding man Now I can understand I got plans And I can see way across there Cross there Walk across foreign land And just to think, it's the same little bad a** That folks said gonna grow up to be just like Daddy But I ain't I only look like Daddy Don't get me wrong I ain't mad at Pops I respect my Pops I read the Bible a lot And the Bible says "You honor your Mother and your Father And your day's out here will be longer" Check that [Hook] [Female singing] Sitting in my room When I got the news That you had gone away So many bags to carry I think to myself How will I ever maintain My little brother needed me And so did my child Gotta stay strong Beautiful Gotta stand tall In the midst of it all Regardless of the circumstances [Hook repeated]
