Way before I knew anything about catchin’ knocks

(Catchin’ knocks)

My mama bought me them J’s but had no matchin’ socks

(Come on)

Growin’ up, I was the oldest of three, plus my cousin Chach

My auntie was sick on dope, so she stayed wit us a lot (Yeah)

I remember me prayin’ to God: why she couldn’t stop? (Why?)

Prayin’ that she would stop runnin’

Like why she couldn’t walk? (Man)

Watchin’ your family struggle

Gotta block it out like Rodman (like Rodman)

We stuck together like them noodles in that ramen (In that ramen)

Love will make you oh so happy inside (Inside, baby)

Hi-hi-hi (Try to control it but it just takes me over)

Love will make you oh so sad (Makes you)

Make you cry (Through the good and the bad)

Hi-hi-hi (Through all the changes, yeah)

Listen, Nana stayed off 83rd (Word)

I can hear Popsicle Joe from a mile away

I don't care what you heard

Pulled out my boombox at every curb

Talkin’ shit, sticks and stones break your bones-bone-bone-bone

Like I knew every word

Hell yeah, we threw it up

And One, hoop it up

Balled ‘til the lights turned off

That’s all we knew, until we blazed it up

Hotbox, we blew it up

Pops found the Swishers in da house (Shit)

Yeah, my ass – he chops and screwed it up

Me and my brother, we don’t look alike

But that’s my brother

And ‘bout my brother, we gone have to fight (That’s right)

Wrong or right, that’s my family, you don’t want no problems

We stuck together like them noodles in that ramen (In that ramen)

Love will make you oh so happy inside

(Through the good and the bad)

Hi- hi- hi (Try to control it but it just takes me over)

Love will make you oh so sad (Makes you)

Make you cry (Through the good and the bad)

Hi- hi- hi (Through all the changes, yeah)

And you know what? That’s what it’s about – the seasons

You know? Movin’ in and out

Things gone change, times gone change, people gone change

But let’s all listen (?), you know?

Come together and grab on one another

Love will make you oh so happy inside (Inside, baby)

Hi-hi-hi (Try to control it but it just takes me over)

Love will make you oh so sad (Makes you)

Make you cry

Hi-hi-hi

Love will make you oh so happy inside (Inside, baby)

(Through the good and the bad)

Hi-hi-hi (We stuck together, yeah)

(Try to control it but it just takes me over)

Love will make you oh so sad (Makes you)

Make you cry (Through the good and the bad)

Hi-hi-hi (Through all the changes, yeah)

Changes (Love changes, love changes)

That’s what love puts you through (Love changes, love changes)

Changes (Love changes, love changes)

That’s what love makes one do (Do)

Love changes
