Memories,

Oh
I am the first son of Betsy and Mensah
love and made a legend, Woodlawn and 47th
Gunshots outside my window, drug out by the Citgo
But mama always sure the tooth fairy found my pillow
My pops was workin', he put the family first
Saturdays in the park and Sundays at church
Kept me from off the corner Stones and GDs was warrin'
And Kings and BDs and VLs all had dreams of Jordan
Even fiends was scorin', swish, tryna be like Mike
Shootin' through that baseline in their veins tryna that height
I was a rockstar, dressed up like Jimi Hendrix
In Hyde park in the good part in the hood like Hemi
Teachers didn't see my vision, had me in
Kicked out of kindergarten, didn't know that I was me
Tattooed my tears, wrote my story in my
Because as a boy I always knew I'd be the man

In my (In my dreams)
I saw it in my (yeah)
The city will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all

On street (yeah)
got me high

Sprayin' paint to see my name on trains, try not to a case
Age 13 at Cam house, watchin' him shoot up the Ace
He took the needle out and it in my face
If I ain't tell that boy, "Be easy, dog," I coulda died of
I started my talents 'bout the time I was 15
take over the world like Pinky and the Brain
Sellin' kush and hittin' stains, in True Religion jeans
16, I was shinin' just like a Stanley scene
Sneakin' into Lollapalooza, I fell off of bridge
15,000 volts went my elbow, fell over 30 feet
The doctor said I should be dead, alive and still ain't scared
In the hospital bed, writin' rhymes in my head

In my (In my dreams)
I saw it in my (yeah)
The will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

On 47th (yeah)
Sebastian got me
One day it will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all

In a land of desperation we often to self medication as a coping mechanism.
Some a living as hood pharmacists while some just inhale to remove them from hell.
