Remember
[Intro]
Welcome home, mom
We're here now
Ay yo, mom

[Verse 1]

Remember day you exchange, my n***a? (Do you remember?)
'Cause I remember
We held down us three, my n***a (Do you remember?)
'Cause I remember
Remember me tryna flee, my n***a? (Do you remember?)
'Cause I remember
To the airport with 30 G's, my n***a (Do you remember?)
'Cause I remember
Got incarcerated with them G's, my n***a (Damn)
'Cause I remember ('Cause I remember)
Looking forward to when they set you free, my n***a
Oh, I remember (oh, I remember), yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause this life that I'm living (This life that I'm living)
It's got a partition (It's got a partition)
One half good, the other half hood
Makes the town think I'm trippin' (But I ain't trippin')
Even after makin' all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
Even after makin' all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
'Cause I can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
Just can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
[Verse 2]
Remember how we ran the streets, my n***a? (My n***a)
'Cause I remember
All them foreign whips we never leased, my n***a
Do you remember? (Do you remember?)
Loud ass system with them beats, my n***a (My n***a)
Do you remember? (Do you remember?)
With the rooftop missing the other seats, my n***a
Do you remember? (Do you remember?)
Even if you aren't here, my n***a (What up, D?)
Always remember
'Cause you was there to always give me what I need, my n***a
And I'll never forget it (Never forget it)

[Chorus]
That's why this life that I'm living (This life that I'm living)
It's got a partition (It's got a partition)
One half good, the other half hood
Makes the town think I'm trippin' (But I ain't trippin')
Even after makin' all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
Even at the making of all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
Because I can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
Just can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
[Verse 3]
It's hard to believe, my n***a
But I'll always remember (Always remember)
We started from the dirt to make at this cheese, my n***a
And I'll always remember (And I'll always remember)
Even harder to believe, my n***a
And I'll always remember
We went from asking G's "what you need, my n***a?"
And I'll always remember (I'll always remember)
Remember when I said I'd never leave, my n***a
And I'll always remember (I'll always remember)
It's time I get back to the streets, my n***a
I'll always remember (I'll always remember)

[Chorus]
'Cause you know this life that I'm living (This life that I'm living)
It's got a partition (It's got a partition)
One half good, the other half hood
Makes the town think I'm trippin' (But I ain't trippin')
Even at the making of all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
Even after makin' all this money
The n***a still wanna go back (Go back)
'Cause I can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
Just can't shake the memory (I can't shake it), no (I miss the hood, y'all)
