I remember. Aye, you remember?
I'm on 75th, I'm just trippin' off lookin' at boarded up buildings
Reminiscing on all of my memories when we was children
I remember that restaurant food wit' the extra mild sauce on the chicken
It's like Common and Kanye had said, I just wish I could give you this feeling
I remember that cluck on the block, I remember when he was the dealer
I remember the ones who got killed, I remember when they was the killers
I remember the ones who fell off, I remember when they was the realest
I remember the things you would think we would never forget to remember
But that was back then, now we all gettin' older. We're all on our own and our memories fade
The sun is set and the candles is burning, and once they burn out we're just left wit' the shade
Drinking these beers wit' my homey, and that's when he told me "It's funny how times have changed"
And that's when I told him "Despite all the changes, it's still all the same, it's just part of the chain"
That's when we think back to the elders that told us that no day would last forever. Man, whatever!
Blew that shit off all the times that we thought they was sayin' whatever, sayin' whatever
The clock on the wall keep on tickin' 'til one day the hands are severed, plans are severed
The clock on the wall keep on tickin' 'til one day no man remembers, nobody remembers
Yeah, but I remember that
They all tend to forget that shit, but I remember that
Don't try to act like muhf*ckas don't remember that
Back then I was such a lame, I remember that
Same muhf*ckas in my face don't remember that
Same hoes used to play them games don't remember that
Now they all say "Marcus fake" and don't remember that
But I remember that
I remember them dirty sauconies back in the day when I was f*cked up
Got suspended from school when I smacked the f*ck outta' some dude that wouldn't shut up
I remember this bitch on the bus used to heat me because of my hair cut
Started rockin' the braids and I swore I would never get another hair cut
I remember my grades was f*cked up and my mama had put me on punishment
I remember the girl I was dating got tired of the waiting like "F*ck that shit!"
I remember each one of my exes and how we thought we was forever
I remember the things you would think we would never forget to remember
But that was back then, now we all gettin' older. We're all on our own and our memories fade
The sun is set and the candles is burning, and once they burn out we're just left wit' the shade
Drinking these beers wit' my homey, and that's when he told me "It's funny how times have changed"
And that's when I told him "Despite all the changes, it's still all the same, it's just part of the chain"
