| I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
|
| Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
|
| We was in the room, countin what we made today
|
| You told me «make it stack», I told you «make it raine
|
| We was in the game, waiting for progress, when we would see the day
|
| We not stoppin, know they investegate
|
| Young Smokey on the block, gettin it in
|
| Takin over heads leanin, cops get in
|
| You know me, double up and put the profit in
|
| Used to hit the cheese spot before the cops got in
|
| BBQ and block partys off the chain, chickens cluckin, we off the chain
|
| I used to hop the train, now I hop in Range
|
| Three different struggles, but we grew up the same
|
| I was a little nigga, thinkin hustlin was wack
|
| Till I made my first stack, and I never turned back
|
| Me and my brother Prob, hit my brother C
|
| Had to smoke spot live at 119
|
| Used to catch a lick, then go out to eat
|
| Nigga always stayed fresh, thank god for the weed
|
| I’m loyal to the block, I will never do you greezy
|
| In fact, I’ll put us on the map, and that’s word to Yeezy

|
| I remember all them days, I was posted with Ks
|
| I was toating the ways, and I remember all the plays
|
| I was coachin the Js
|
| I was holdin the haze, I was smokin
|
| I remember goin outta town without a licance
|
| In trafic for 4 hours, was old enough to get indicted
|
| My brother always told me «Nipsey, get a pen and write it»
|
| Back when we used the pool for pool, and used the gym for fighting
|
| Only time I went to school was when I got sleep
|
| That was never, got caught up in the hustling and the block beef
|
| My cousin that was on the north said I could drop cheese
|
| Sent me down and told me «keep a Glock, that shit is not sweet»
|
| Remember when there was a fight, the whole block involved
|
| K was known to toat a 9, and Shad was known to pop it off
|
| Now adays, it’s hard to say I even got a dog
|
| And these times, it be a lot of niggas actin like frogs
|

|
| Do you remember like a Clue tape?
|
| Tryna decide how I should do my shoe lace
|
| All the fresh air lookin like tooth paste
|
| I could look at the bottom, haven’t worn them since I got 'm, that was last
|
| Tuesday
|
| Start the new day, listen to new Mase
|
| Sirculate late 97, maybe erlie 98
|
| With 5 cash in my pocket, I was straight
|
| A slice of tropical fantasy, still enough for the train
|
| To go back and forth, both ways
|
| Those were the days
|
| Clothes is my thang
|
| Hoes was the same
|
| Play ball here and there, but no plans for the NBA
|
| I was paivin my lane
|
| To escape out the hood, gotta find a way
|
| Cause niggas my age, 6 feat deep tombstone with the bouquet
|
| I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
|
| Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
