Memories,

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

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

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

In the back of an abandoned truck by Webster

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

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 mine, all

On street (yeah)
got me high
One day it be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

Some make a living as hood while some just inhale to remove them from hell.
