Memories / 12th Street*

[Verse]

Uh

Give it to God bro, you do as you please

If fear was a mile long I'd run to the sea

Shed tears at the gravesight in light of the grief

Rather write the pain away instead of lighting the trees or having a drink

How many of us caught by the strength of this disease?

That's a penny for your thoughts, there's a better way to be

I gotta teach, give thanks

I be praying to the East

Middle school, rocking ten deep

Diamond supply and ice cream sneaks'

Me and Q, shouts to JSP

Turn to [?], cop the MPC

On the block, peace to Pops, you the MVP

Best Christmas gift that I ever received

The days that I miss, wouldn't dare let leave

Better stay forever in the depths of my being

Branches reach high and the roots sink deep

Sweep [?] the pie, I miss my Poppa every week

Wake up every morning, kiss my Momma on the cheek

Then I'm off to school, Nat Cole from the backseat

[Chorus]

Memories, uh, memories, uh, memories

I remember twelfth street, I remember twelfth street

Memories

Uh, memories, uh, memories, memories

Uh, memories

I remember twelfth street

Memories, uh, memories, uh, memories

Uh, memories, uh, memories

I remember twelfth street
