We had a saying, me and my brother, since we was younger
"We live here and we gon' die here"
In this block, 139th street
(He was the baby brother, when'd you realize he was special?)
I knew Lamont was special about five years old
Lamont'll hear the Harlem slick talkin' shit that these niggas talk
He used to just stand there and listen, absorb everything
Mesmerized
You know, I'm seeing his face
He really liked this, you know what I mean?
I think he was writin' everything down, haha
He was a jokester
He liked to snap at one of you and get you upset
Man, Lee said, "If you gon' do it, do it right"
Then he grabbed the mic and it was over (but check it)
