Lyrics

Verse 1: Back in the day when i was a teenager, Me jet n joe used to play with danger I remember when danny mo'catee was a stranger Boiz in bitteez used to shot with a pager Gods gift was pepsi and milk were'nt major I was on front line before i used the big razor I was a raver cocky little fader Now i feel blue lights solid gone savour I got fun, feelings good and bad memories Times moved on but i got the same enemies Goin all out to a snitch ad 2 tell a me That was in the past now i spit like venomy Change what ya like but the bad name stays Lifes to short to be setting your ways Whatever happened to the good old days? Those care free days i remember the days! Chorus!: I remember when we were young Your askin to touch u nooooo u nooooo Memories in life in time my life was on the line Iv grooooown i grooooown ... yeeeee ye yeee Verse 2: I remember the days i used to be on the street And no . we cant still survive on the street U wanted to no . so im telling you that life on the Street can be an eye-opener, im watching doors Open up. Before none of this seemd possible everything Was impossible didnt stop i was flexible with the hours And now im flexible with the powers im strong minded Some are empty minded troops get divided They started off as friends and then they collided I started off at home but now we're seperated u see The loving that we both appreciated it. Before i Remember when i couldnt leave this chick, i used To cheat n ting, make hesky beat n ting, Go home n ave a arguement creating heat n ting! And then im off again im tryin'a leave the past behind Me, i wanna live in a place where nobody can find Me! Chorus! Verse 3: I remember dem dayz when i was coming up Little kid on the rise with the heiness in d eyez No surprise dat us kids were searchin for sutin more The different music dat we be sellin' in every store Back den the days were diffrent the blocks were dark And evil! Ma line ejak the sequal but das d uk Version! . hargon was needed to survive on the streetz! Ya had 2 stay above the water 2 b runnin wit ya lete! School told me to hustle n hustle dat was the code! The education and stuff had to be put on hold! U could find me in the smokers corner flippin some coins Or find me in the cafeteria gettin double serloins! I was a little balla balla shud've gone all the way! Wasnt dedicated, loose canon led me astray! In ma first move from a little mini coopey No lay lay coming bak yer bak in the day! Chorus!
