Everything

Yeah whoa yeah yeah yeah

I remember everything and I mean everything
I remember everything in the life that I once knew

Homicide outside the laundry mat first time seeing blood on the concrete Wearing a fresh new pair of sneakers Grandma bought me at the swap meet Used to play handball against the wall of building six
After school we'd dodge syringes catching tadpoles in the ditch
Every other weekend Dad would pick us up for two days
Eating cold pizza in the South Valley
In two hoods living two ways
Three little girls same last name four letters tattooed on my back
Bout my blood until I learned that family meant more than that
Fuck what anybody say my proof that I was a hood kid
But strict rules and a private school kept me outta the hood shit
As I grew up on La Luz in the Brew
Dreamt of being hood rich
I was smart as fuck but I fucked up and
I turned into a hood bitch
Age 21 I thought a gun made somebody afraid of me
Diego died and my grandma cried laid hands on me and prayed for me
Did everything I could to keep my sisters far away from me
& I thank the Lord that they became the queens I one day pray to be

I remember everything and I mean everything
First time in my life that I had nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I remember everything and I mean everything
Everything in the life that I'm living
& the life that I once knew

Homicide on 6th and James white expedition AK-47
After our first concert July 15 2007
Diego went to heaven
& three months later met the love of my life
Fifteen years together shout out to my ex wife
Rolled around the city with me flipping green white and black
Padillas to Ventana Ranch with stacks of money in her lap
Realest I've ever had no matter what
Through hell & back
Homeless & hungry together til we moved in with Scrapps
Now Julie was my dawg
A double wide in Kinney Brick
Made me get my shit together
& stop being a ghetto bitch
Came back to the hood and made my music like a queen
Grandma died and 10 days later
Scrappy died 2014
That's when my life changed and I started using opiates
Lost both of them with no goodbye
& I couldn't cope with it
Almost fucking died moved to Cali
& took control of it
Wicked Jay & Lovely told me
Just keep going Threat
That's real talk

I remember everything and I mean everything
First time in my life that I had nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I remember everything and I mean everything
Everything in the life that I'm living
& the life that I once knew

In 2017 my Daddy got sick
Chose to come back to Burque and I'm glad that I did
I came home & Ashley died
She was the bestest friend I've ever had
Small part of my heart left
& a year later I lost my Dad
Watched him turn blue
Died with his eyes open so I closed them
Not a single tear in mines
I refused to be broken
Once upon a time a crazy kid
Now nothing left to lose
Registered for nursing school
& started playing by the rules
No more lines of cocaine with a hundred dollar bill
They asking me how I'm still standing
I tell them cuz I kneel
They asking me how I'm strong
I said cuz I refuse to feel
The more you sweat the less you bleed
No time for standing still
Three times they tried to take me out since I started this album
In the valley of the shadow of death
They're watching me climb mountains
Through the blood sweat and tears
Can't nobody deny my hustle boo
My people love me cuz they know
I come from the struggle too
Tell them

I remember everything and I mean everything
First time in my life that I had nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I remember everything and I mean everything
Everything in the life that I'm living
& the life that I once knew

In the life that I'm living
& the life that I once knew

Yeah say yeah
I remember everything in the life that once knew
Yeah
