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?

Back down memory lane
