Memories,

Oh
I am the son of Betsy and Edward Mensah
Made love and made a legend, and 47th
Gunshots outside my window, drug deals out by the
But mama always made sure the tooth found my pillow
My pops was workin', he put the family first
Chicago in the park and Sundays at church
Kept me from off the corner where 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 baseline in their veins tryna reach height
I was a little rockstar, dressed up like Jimi
In Hyde park in the good part in the hood Hemi engines
didn't see my vision, had me in IEPs
Kicked out of kindergarten, they didn't 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 be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

At age 12 I the difference between white and black
Police pulled me off of my bike, I on my back
Back to reality, oops, a of gravity
Where they you down and keep you there
Dependin' on how you your hair
Now it's 'em up and bumpin nothin' but NWA
a 7 or an 8th, way before 7th grade
My sellin' yay
Sebastian got me high that time
In the back of an abandoned by Webster Place
feel my face
Sprayin' paint to see my name on trains, try not to catch a
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 of AIDS
I started realizin' my talents 'bout the I was 15
Tryna take over the world Pinky and the Brain
Sellin' kush and hittin' stains, still in True Religion
16, I was shinin' just a Stanley Kubrick scene
Sneakin' into Lollapalooza, I fell off of that
15,000 went through my elbow, fell over 30 feet
The doctor said I should be dead, still alive and ain't scared
In the hospital bed, writin' these in my head

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

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

In a of desperation we often turn to self medication as a coping mechanism.
Some make a living as hood while some just inhale to remove them from hell.
I watched from the window of a gated community I grew old enough there was no immunity from allure of the life
