Lyrics Remember The Times - Chase Moore, Ziggy

Remember The Times

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright
Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want
But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore
One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times
Look, I grew up, a fucking screw-up
They be talking 'bout us like the past tense and they never knew us
But nowadays I’ma act a fool for what
Diving in a pool of bucks like I’m Scrooge McDuck
Rep the same place that I started at (916)
Sacramento, a star on the map (capital)
So let me start with the facts, first fitted I ever had was a Oakland A’s
starter hat
So always knew I had to rep the west
Remember the time, don’t you ever forget
Kept the 36 Chambers in my cassette deck
Driving reckless like Belly with DMX
I was a Nola soldier on that No Limit
Then it was Hova, Slim Shady and the old Xzibit
The first time I heard the Lox
It made me a warrior and now I’m Curry with the shot
Blah
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright
Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want
But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore
One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times
Uh
Ay, they be fronting through the 'gram now
But everything I did made me who I am now
Never fucked with the graffiti or the handstyles
But now I’m tagging on these beats getting grands now («Ch-Ch-Chase Moore)
667 is a major movement
They made me do it, had to lay the blueprint
It’s like they hate success and never made improvements
Fuck what they assuming we deep as the ancient ruins
Embracing everything that make us human
Take a eighth before I go to sleep and wake up shrooming
Paint a picture clear as I can
Michael Jackson video, I disappear in the sand (remember the time)
Uh, ask yourself what you do it for
Iron Man suited for the war
I used to have a new Accord, and now I do it for a bag at the Gucci store
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright
Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want
But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore
One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times
Woah, I grew up, a fucking screw-up
Used to tell my momma I can’t wait until I grew up
That green Mitsubishi momma picked me up from school done
Still would eat the food up, with roaches in the cooler
I gotta go up sooner, I gotta get my loot up
Grandma passed away, first time I picked a suit up
Damn what is we doing, watched my momma lose it
Poppa’s looking stupid, I guess it’s up to you though
Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want
But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore
One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that
Taught myself how to rap, ain’t never need no help with that
You looking flimsy, is you bending oh you finna crack
Give me just a little bet I’m bringing something bigger back
It’s probably crazy if you make it outta where we at
Remember when they said we couldn’t shine like that
Yeah
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like
It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright
Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want
But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore
One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times
