Back Down

I stumbled on this photograph It kinda made me laugh Took me way back Back to a memory lane Grew up in the projects, nigga, we was broke Mama lost her lil' job at the liquor store Daddy wasn't home, uncle sold coke And the girl that next door, that babysitter said, "Dope" Used to walk in Wendy's and fix a sandwich My cousin went to jail for a motherfuckin' sandwich The Hunger Pans might make a nigga steal Only fourteen years old to see my niggas get killed Now I'm ridin' through the hood with some motherfuckin' killers Had hoop dreams, now I'm a motherfuckin' killer Mama crying, was tryin', we been down for so long My nigga on life support, I told him to hold on (I told him to hold on) This my motherfuckin' story, nigga Tеll 'em free my brother Cory, nigga We on thеse streets chasin' glory, nigga Now that's another fuckin' story, nigga Whoa, hey, whoa (Oh, oh, oh) That's a memory lane Whoa, hey, whoa (Oh, oh, oh) B-C-D-O-H (that's a memory lane) Let me take you on a memory lane Just come and follow me And I'll cap some of this pain that's bottled inside of me Uncle might buy the figure When he died, the streets will die to me Same day I ran away, my momma cried constantly Tellin' me, "Don't come back," but wanted me to come home That made the pain worse, but I was too young to see I was wrong Started huntin', stole the zone, trapped when I ratchet hoes off Ratchet hoes just in rooms that kids just really live in, trolls, though Distributin' 'round the same time I was packin' shows off They thought it was rap money when I was whippin' Rolls off, look A nigga missin' you is fucked up how it gotta be But don't worry, my momma and my niggas know how it gotta be Yeah, and this my motherfuckin' story, nigga Steppin' on the rap game, my territory, nigga And when I spit it, air songs from the heart I met P and I'm on to make a long story short That time in a memory lane, whoa Lane, whoa (Ah, ah, ah) That time in a memory lane, whoa Lane, whoa (Ah, ah, ah) That time in a memory lane I see the happiness I see the pain Where am I?
