The Wonder Years [Bonus Track] - Remix
My momma told me to dream big yeah kid
And from that day that's exactly what I did
Probably was about nine, around 89
Playing her O'Jays tape, song Forever Mine
My pops would blast Bob Marley like it's a party
In the kitchen my moms dancing while she did the laundry
My brother G was playing rap music in the basement
When Kane said Friday the 13th I'm playing Jason
I started writing raps a young Thug fascinated
Ralph Mc Daniels on videos my brother taping
Who wasn't great then huh
Now these niggas faking
Reign In The Tec
Das EFX looked Jamaican
Catch a fire with my wild crew we was mischievous
Throwing bottles at crazy Ben you should've seen us
Wet dreams sperm sitting in my penis
It was all new to me young going through puberty
They say life is short
Things happen so fast
I seen it all in my time, some good brother passed
I tear and I laugh
One love to all corners
These are my wonder years the plan that God wanted
They say life is short
Things happen so fast
I seen it all in my time, some good brother passed
I tear and I laugh
One love to all corners
These are my wonder years the plan that God wanted
My nigga Force introduced me to Nas when I was 15
We had big dreams of making it on the big screen
He gave me a pound while he sat in a GS
I wanted to tell him you was the best
But didn't wanna stress him
Yea I held my tongue, It was a honor
Life's like a game of Contra
Shooting, dodging moving through the ghetto's compass
My inner conscious told me void the non sense
Hairs growing under my arm pits
Blowing marijuana harmless
But deadly to my lungs
This is the truth, good faith
Not a commercial play or cheek in tongue kiss
Walking across Rockaway Ave for my Sunkist
Four chicken wings and fried rice was our lunches
We was hungry sometimes yeah we shared those trays
Plus your girl if she able to get away that day
Clue tape show me the money part two was the shit
Me and Dirty dreamed to be rich
Like Jay Z on that boat
What's the meaning of life
I didn't dabble in coke
Cause my moms did and that damaged my hope
Monkey on her back nah he was choking her throat
How could I sell that to another Queen and have sweet dreams
Two wrongs don't make a right dog
How could I be me
South Side house parties yeah we get in for free
Was down to brawl with any of ya'll
Heart of a G
Step on my feet, say pardon
Or get scarred on your cheek
Quiet calmly kid
Sometimes I was armed with
My pops 38 special by my long dick
Was gonna clap Gary down but he calmed it
The beef he didn't want that he was honest
Days after school walking through the projects
40 Guy Brew South Road ah yes
The hood cried when Chauncey died
God bless
Was one of the first g'z that walked up god steps
Happy days were far fetched
Some days we cooked food
On the hot plate, no lights when the bill was due
Winter time cold water running through the pipes
Boiled water on the stove to wash up at night
This is my life, can't stop
Till I'm sitting on top of the world in a beach chair
With some Heineken beers
For my niggas to share
Cigar smoke in the air
Thinking about when life was so hard the wonder years
They say life is short
Things happen so fast
I seen it all in my time, some good brother passed
I tear and I laugh
One love to all corners
These are my wonder years the plan that God wanted
They say life is short
Things happen so fast
I seen it all in my time, some good brother passed
I tear and I laugh
One love to all corners
These are my wonder years the plan that God wanted
And from that day that's exactly what I did
