I Remember

Never know how I feel
Just gotta keep it real
Off in that cell
You'll never know how I feel

Cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta
You can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

I remember them nights, on the block
We was pushing rock
You know I stayed ready for them cops
We was totting Glocks
I'm still in the field right now
Only difference, I'm aiming to kill right now
Shits real right now
I'm just tryna get a bag, fuck it up, an get it back
But the life I used to live, I never glorified that
But I had to feed the fam
Never flexing on the gram
You can say you in them trenches til you really in that jam
What would you do
If some niggas went and ran up in your house
Put a gun up in your mouth
An told you pull them bands out
Only had five seconds til they blow yo brains out
Would you really up the .45 and let them things out
Gotta do it, just to get through it
Now you bouta lose it
Daddy always told me "son either you winning or you losing,"
So no "Ls" can't go back to jail
Can't be in that cell
Im a man
If I want to win, I'ma take the hell


I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

Every nigga claim they gangsta
Til that gangsta get gangsta
Kidnap ya family
Now you ready to go dumb with your banger
Built up pain in your heart
Now you feeling the anger
16yrs of fake
Now everybody looking like strangers
Now you don't know who to trust
Starting not to give a fuck
Cause you know when you go down
Ain't a soul gon pick you up
But you gotta get it
Even if that means making a killing
Selling or stealin
Cause that nine to five ain't like them chickens
Now you in the pin
Might not get to see your lady
And it gets crazy
Cause you heard ya lady having a baby
That's 20yrs for a dirty strainer and a pistol
That's 20 more years before you see your baby sister
Looking through the window asking God to forgive you
To get you out that cell cause you know your family miss you
God responds with "back at the house, I tried to fix you,"
And all you can do is just sit back and say " I Remember,"

I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel

I remember them cold winter nights off in that cell
Took my lick like a gangsta, you can never say I squilled
Never turning on my brothers, I just gotta keep it real
Lost my heart in this battle, you'll never know how I feel
