I Remember

I remember when we struggled
No heat in the winter, we had to cuddle
No food in the refrigerator
Sometimes i was feelin like I didn't wanna wake up
I had get to dat paper
I remember, remember,remember
I remember, remember, remember
I remember, remember, remember
When we struggled
So I had to hustle

I remember it was cold, our oven was the heater
Momma workin, she searchin for ways to try to feds us
So them OGs on da corner, turned into my teachers
Product of my environment, I followed procedures
I can't make this up, i could not lie about it
Tried of seeing momma struggle, hustled just to stop it
Logic led me to prison, still in need of the profit
2 for 5 and kicc doors, just to get me an outfit
Oose noodles for diner, that diet made a winner
The hundred block ima member, a alief contender
Hunger drove my hustle, them days I still remember
If I didn't go get it, where would a nigga end up
I can handle it, but Neva planned for this
Supervising the hustle, da way I manage it
True story for the struggle, I am the candidate
My pain, cut me too deep, no need for bandages

I remember when we struggled
No heat in the winter, we had to cuddle
No food in the refrigerator
Sometimes i was feelin like I didn't wanna wake up
I had get to dat paper
I remember, remember, remember
I remember, remember, remember
I remember, remember, remember
When we struggled, so I hustled

Swear before God, when times got hard
Please the corner, worked da Boulevard
Had a shitty hand, still played my cards
Wild and reckless, showed no regard
Didn't asked for this, I was raised poor
Grind stronger, cause I want it more
Dream bigger, tryna reach the stars
My drive different, built like a Ford
Came from it, need no reminder
Pain present, but it's so behind me
Constrict the game, like a anaconda
Tryna peep the play, on a closed binder
They sleeping on me, like a bed liner
Wake em up, alarm sounder
Changed my story, like a t.v channel
Had to make way, I'm the path finder
Remember when like yesterday
Momma told me it's a better way
My only focus was a pay day
And capitalizing like a big k
Have you ever slept on a ice trey
Cause heater broke, on winter day
It made me cold, wat can I say
It made me cold, wat can I say
These memories of a have-not
Tryna get meal out a empty pot
Them days felt worse Dan chicken pox
No game, I had to connect da dots
When I think about it, still run me hot
Like two bodies on a stolen Glock
Told my t lady, we gone make it out
Progression in motion,I blast to the top

I remember when we struggled
No heat in the winter, we had to cuddle
No food in the refrigerator
Sometimes i was feelin like I didn't wanna wake up
I had get to dat paper
I remember, remember, remember
I remember, remember, remember
I remember, remember, remember
When we struggled, so I hustled
