| Before my prime
|
| I took the orange line
|
| With my stuff kicks
|
| Sometimes dusty
|
| I fantasize of having plush whips
|
| Romanticize on world tours
|
| Day dreams are interrupted
|
| Buy colds nights and frosty women yeah the one who suck dick
|
| My culture being high drugs, liquor and gambling
|
| Fist fighting with hot heads, pushing powder or flanagans
|
| Mush is betting outlandishing
|
| Trying but they cannot win
|
| Danny got scared he lost a grand and brought his hand gun in
|
| I close my eyes and I can still remember Janets grin
|
| Before she was junkie in the halfway house my aunt is in
|
| How do I tell these stories, feels like I can’t begin
|
| Living is salty when my grandma got her cancer
|
| Jimmy taught me how to be a man
|
| Throwing punches, paying rent
|
| I stay determined for one day I’ll be the main event
|
| The past it move fast, every day I came and went
|
| All I got is my memories 'cause I can never save a cent
|
| I don’t need a photograph
|
| I got these memories in my head
|
| And you don’t even know the half
|
| So used to the way I live
|
| And I always remember
|
| I never could forget where I came from
|
| And I always remember
|
| Forever like a Polaroid picture
|
| I’ve been reading all the signs
|
| I’ve been speaking from my mind
|
| I’ve been drinking all the time
|
| That’s what they say
|
| Might’ve broke a couple hearts
|
| Broke a couple laws
|
| When you up against the odds
|
| J the S, live from the land of hope and dreams
|
| Where archangels fly with broken wings
|
| Smoke screens can steal the lives
|
| Emcees Stealing rhymes, OC’s stealing lives
|
| Friends I used to admire, Expire in his junkies
|
| Begging for change and for the donkeys that haunts me
|
| Like the ghost of XPO cancer in his stomach and lungs
|
| Stole my friend he was barely 31
|
| You know we the one, and reffer ease my mind
|
| Haters never see me they just see me on my grind
|
| Never bite my tongue son I need to speak my mind
|
| We on the same page I just read between the lines
|
| I don’t need a photograph
|
| I got these memories in my head
|
| And you don’t even know the half
|
| So used to the way I live
|
| And I always remember
|
| I never could forget where I came from
|
| And I always remember
|
| Forever like a Polaroid picture
|
| (Verse:3 Dutch Rebelle)
|
| Kept the skully low on doobie
|
| For those who thought they knew me
|
| My life is like a movie
|
| When these actors write their script wrong
|
| Sick of getting did wrong
|
| So I kept my pace in this race
|
| Blowing' by ‘em like the officers I dipped on
|
| Water for cornflakes, Stirring coco powder
|
| Check cowards by the hour
|
| They clamming up like chowder
|
| My concepts are hard steps
|
| Long leaps, hard turns
|
| Real pains that I’ve learned
|
| I’ve lost but I’ve earned
|
| The right to roam the night
|
| Gripped the bottle tight
|
| Wickedness in everything I write
|
| Peak into my life
|
| Couple times I had to duck right
|
| Had to block a jab, Tap into my temple when I write
|
| Mix it in the lab
|
| Cause I’ve been battling demons
|
| But still over achieving, Few deaths
|
| They have my grieving in church
|
| I’m sneaking freezing
|
| Let my mother say my prayers 'cause I’m living in hell
|
| Cause if I don’t belong in heaven then I’m happy I fell
|
| I don’t need a photograph
|
| I got these memories in my head
|
| And you don’t even know the half
|
| So used to the way I love
|
| And I always remember
|
| I never could forget where I came from
|
| And I always remember
|
| Forever like a Polaroid picture |
