I used to go to sleep dreaming bout this moment steady waking up this s*** was never there

Spent countless nights in that prison cell I use to pray to God like it wasn't fair

See little cuz had a vision I couldn't see

And if it wasn't for him probably wouldn't be

Understanding this mission that I gotta finish and I will not quit till I rest in peace

I remember them days without a dollar in my pocket wondering how I’m gon eat

I remember that starter pistol I got from my brother put me right back up on my feet

Member selling c**e for the first time

Through my younger days I was running wild

I'll clip my momma for a couple grams and I done f****d that money up 100 times

I remember how bad Reem wanted to make it so I gotta grind hard like he was here

So I'm up forty-eight hours every day seven hundred thirty days a year

That's fourteen days every week I don't never sleep just to make it clear

I ain't chasing rank but I’m never ducking better make it count or are you gonna disappear

Look, I got home he's down Rahway and I be thinking about em’ all day

But real time like a twenty stiff and all he ask is that I send him pics

I remember tripping back when I was sitting I ain't get a picture from my whole hood

Same n****s I would of killed for I'm promising you man it's all good

I said I remember (said I remember)

Told them that I’ll make it but they jailed on me

I said I remember (I said I remember)

When I got locked up how that b**** bailed on me

Cuz I remember (ahh yeah)

Let them f*** n****s try to keep me down

Man I remember (yeah yeah)

Image of their faces if they see me now

I said I remember (said I remember)

Told them that I’ll make it but they jailed on me

I said I remember (I said I remember)

When I got locked up how that b**** bailed on me

Cuz I remember (ahh yeah)

Let them f*** n****s try to keep me down

Man I remember (yeah yeah)

Image of their faces if they see me now

Sent a lot of letters to a disloyal b**** I assumed she was gonna be there for me

On the contrary s*** got real thick I thought I needed her she disappeared on me

All the nights in that cell I was by myself

Tuned me right on up like my timing belt

Now releasing that cracking so you watch what happen when I mix that anger with what I felt

I remember that day I called up on my little sister and she told me that my wife died

Then a week later Buddy told me mommy died in front of my son and my daughter's eyes

I remember that pain inside my chest was heartfelt can't imagine what it was like

My heart stopped for a whole minute

They said I died and came back to life

See that brought out another spirit in me I ain't tripping homie I was going wild

Received a visit that told I was gifted I foreseen the vision and I’m on now

I think about my Mama every night I beat my chest until my soul cry

And each time I did 1000 dips I had to do that 1000 times

You wasn't there I wouldn’t shed a tear no emotions on my face it wouldn’t make a frown

Until my Mama came to see me in a dream one night and said I let her down

I woke up in a pool full of tears cold sweat on my prison gown

And focus up man that been the motto

I wish my momma would see me now

I said I remember (said I remember)

Told them that I’ll make it but they jailed on me

I said I remember (I said I remember)

When I got locked up how that b**** bailed on me

Cuz I remember (ahh yeah)

Let them f*** n****s try to keep me down

Man I remember (yeah yeah)

Image of their faces if they see me now

I said I remember (said I remember)

Told them that I’ll make it but they jailed on me

I said I remember (I said I remember)

When I got locked up how that b**** bailed on me

Cuz I remember (ahh yeah)

Let them f*** n****s try to keep me down

Man I remember (yeah yeah)

Image of their faces if they see me now
