Memory Lane

Yeah Yeah Word up This that shit right here, yo Let's take a trip down in memory lane Like, word Feel me, yo Uh-huh Yo Most definitely I decide to delete those core memories Especially if a nigga or bitch Ever tested me How they pleading out for respect, but they never mention me This dimension filled with allies Disguised as our enemies The regency is full of fake shit Torment and hatred While you was out here fornicating I legislate shit With pen and paper And a La Croix water that's key lime I never hated Worked more harder All in the meantime In these times When you progress You look back Like why did I respond to clowns that's in debt, who sold crack? And why did I lounge around all these vets who needed my rhymes? The only set I wanna throw up is the peace sign Stressed out by rewinds Fast forwards and pauses Just trying to get moms a Porsche When I can really afford it And the house that's overlooking the water Michael Stern once told me to work smarter And not harder Word to my unborn daughters and sons I had to grind out the slums No piece of the pie Divided my crumbs One by one Share losses with a bitch that stabbed me The love lost But I still remain peaceful and happy In my habitat Had to rap when they did me bad, B And sadly, it's the fact that all these leeches attached to me Attracting me Because I give out more than I take Some days I wish to drown my thoughts Pour them out to the lake This ain't at all for debate Word up Let's take a trip down in memory lane Word Uh-huh Let's take a trip down in memory lane Friends, fakes, and snakes Nigga, we all have them The latter two, I couldn't fathom I only could imagine how long they was standing beside me Can't attack them I allowed this to be But now, I can see This the present, where the past can reside But now and then I think back from inside I couldn't swallow my pride Some shit is just better left unchanged Take a trip through my memory bank Way down in memory lane Yo, yo, you could be the man of your word And still be torn in the flesh You buy her some diamond pearls She give the next man neck? In these ways, I truly don't respect My life's a wreck, if I'm being direct I'm going more into depth Saw that casket shut Seeing my moms cry Shattered me up It's a lot of shit that's still not adding up They telling me I'm adamant in that such You only know a piece of my puzzle Niggas, yo, you capping for what? I speak on things that I've been through So it's mostly temperamental Lot of people passed here With so much potential in they mental When my people die it hurts The pain residing in the worst I try to maintain As I rely too much on the church Sometimes, it don't work Feeling lonely I'm giving titles to these fake homies That only really know me when they monies lowly I ask God to show me Feeling below my older self Just to get to know me In these times, where people's phony Healing themselves in these fairy tales Becoming celibate when things ain't well But let them touch you when they filled of themselves This generation's full of Satan, it dwells And I hate that we created this hell And yes I said it Y'all take shit back? I don't regret it At this point, I will let my brain map out the sketches Don't get credit for your work Until you get in the dirt Can't smell my flowers under this earth And I'm feeling this worse Since pop passed Verbally, dog I'm not sad Heart burning and I'm mad Only had one dad I'm still grieving Yo, I can't believe this shit This too shall pass? It just loses meaning, kid Word Friends, fakes, and snakes Nigga, we all have them The latter two, I couldn't fathom I only could imagine how long they was standing beside me Can't attack them I allowed this to be But now, I can see This the present, where the past can reside But now and then I think back from inside I couldn't swallow my pride Some shit is just better left unchanged Take a trip through my memory bank Way down in memory lane
