I Remember
by Ali Rozet

Vs.1

Prior to life as a Christian, I was living for the moment in fact/ insecure cause of my skin, you see my homies was black/ And I'm white, wait half/ so apart from my dad/ who's Hawaiian/ wait half/ I ain't got time for the math/ I stayed mad/ stayed smashed/ parlayed for the cash/ rolled blacks and baked hash/ I grew up too fast/ pops dipped when I was 9/ I gave up on class/ took glass to my hands until my forearms gashed/ moms tried to raise me right, but I'm kool I'll pass/ stuntin at school with the crew, I go two headbands/ plus my brothers they was younger so they couldn't relate/ plus they remind me of my mom who I'd usually blame/ refuse to be ashamed, but im used to the pain/ snorting lines of cocaine, taking two to the brain/ spit rhymes, stay out late, I'm just living ok?/ drinking liquor to my liver has me quivered in pain

I remember the heartaches,
losses,
failures,
the things I went through only
made me
stronger (x2)

Vs.2

I failed high school, felt ignorant, embarrassed and imageless/ limited in my image, so I changed what my image is/ plus the girlfriend tripping and asking what the distance is/ and why we can't talk on the phone for long instances(switch)/ so I'm 19/thinking how my life be/ D wanna be wifey, but that's unlikely/ moms boyfriend told me that he ain't really like me/that he'd buy me a ticket to leave and say goodbye(peace)/ why though?/ had to look him straight up in his eye though/ wide nosed/ told him that I pray that he would die slow/ blindfolded/ ice cold, blood running inside both/my arms to the sky/ id rather die than be beside those/times blown/ eyes closed, floating in my mind yo/ hydro, chronic smoke/ what in the world am I crying for?/ thoughts of leaving early but, what am I trying to die for?/ depressed, feeling stressed, stretching my insides open/ lines rolled, pills crushed, let me get like 5 more/ I'll hit you when I get the cash, let me get some time folk/ blind hope, no job and fiending like a whino/ I hated God and cursed His name, both fingers to the sky bruh

Vs.3

I'm getting older with time, but time flies when your ready to die/ prior to life on the morning of 2005/ July 5th, 2:46 when God made that switch/ turned me from a wretch and then adopted me in/ I was bent, coked up in a state of regret, smoking a cigarette vexed, unaware in the next/ couples of minutes, I'd be repented and evicted from which/ the crib I lived, they said I was paying my rent/ so I dipped, just a bible and a couple of clothes/ I took the bible from my cousin it was packed with his notes/ I got plugged into the church, I was living with Ron/ he took me in, remember? I told you I couldn't stay with mom/ so I stayed prayed up, increasing in knowledge/ God paved the way and now your boy is leaving for college/ didn't graduate, gradually the steepening dollars, left me in debt, possibly I should have been stronger/ but I dipped outta TENN and then flocked to the springs, met SOCOM and flowed till he stopped the beat/ I pray that the words spoke literally hit you, may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you
