Lyrics

I Remember

Born into this world 
Body only, no lessons 
Four limbs and a brain to begin the life session

Before I turned 10
Had to struggle with depression 
From social attitudes
Had a young boy stressin 

Didn't know why I was hated
Couldn't debate it 
I dealt with my people everyday
I had to take it

Mom kept me sane with the love that she gave me
My brother and sisters kept my mind from going crazy 

Board games on the weekend 
Late night movies 
Lotta R&B music 
And the dances that were groovy 

My first radio around 11 in the summer
Music kept me calm
The beats played a number

On my spirit
Took me far away when I would hear it
A part of my soul
And I always stayed near it

Pinetree 
Basketball games and kickball
Runnin with the big kids
Tacke football

Westvale Park
Twenty second and Streaty 
Westside was the place to be
Best believe me

Memories of my city
That will always be with me
A-Town was the spot
It always stayed litty

I remember the times we kicked it out in the park
On the swings from the morning till the light after dark
I remember those days we used to run off in them streets
From spot to spot
Beating up the concrete

I remember those days we used to hang out on the Ave
City wide fame 
They wanted our autograph
I remember all those times no matter how bad
One Life is all I got
A-Town is all I had

I remember

Became a teenager
Bicycles was the transpo 
Slide through the city from the burbs to the ghetto

Cross Colours 
Starter Jackets 
Before the Jordan Retros 
Afro's and medallions
$.89 for the Petro

Old School cars
Real steel
Heavy Metal
Bars and Vogues
Horsepower
When you smash on the pedal

Knee length shorts
Wasn't a lot of saggin 
Pagers on the hip
Bandanas for the flagging

Flip used to sport the yellow 
With no issue
G'Zus on the mic with the sermon
We still miss you

Parties and dances all summer
It was fun
Every single weekend 
I attended every one

Expo in Jackson Park 
It was always packed
On Sunday at Streaty Park
Can never forget that

Harry O on the ones and twos
The mix was tight
Hot music
Full park
From noon to late night

Fall time 
Raking up leaves in September 
Snowball fights and sled rides
In the winter

Theater of the Mind
I feel it in my center
When I reminisce 
This is how I remember

 I Remember 

I remember the times we kicked it out in the park
On the swings from the morning till the light after dark
I remember those days we used to run off in them streets
From spot to spot
Beating up the concrete

I remember those days we used to hang out on the Ave
City wide fame 
They wanted our autograph
I remember all those times no matter how bad
One Life is all I got
A-Town is all I had

I Remember
