DJ Stussy, one love
I'm really hope I'm living out my brother's dreams
Same movie, different role every other scene
I tell my mother that I love her, cause it's so serene
White shirt, green stain from the Listerine
Back when I was trynna get fly like Mr. Clean
So small I could fit inside my sister's jeans
Yeah moment's like that, that we can't take back
I hit my head on the pavement, nigga shake back (shake back nigga)
I remember playing ball on the chain courts
Across the street from the church with stain doors
Grandma was the pastor, we prayed up
And nights that I was sick, she would stay up
When I was 6, I kept drumsticks in my hands
My father was a reverend, sister you used to dance
Grandfather in the front, playing tenor sax
My momma lead praise & worship, I'm just giving facts
Me & B, music in his bedroom
Trynna mix down stems with no head room.
Using broken down mics, rips in the cord
Hella bored, jotting lyrics to hoping to record
This was the simple life of a young man
Who had really big dreams but dumb plan
Yeah, was the simple life of a young man
Who had really big dreams but dumb plan (Damn)
(Yeah) I miss those days but we can't go back
I miss those days but we can't go back, I miss those days but we can't go back
I miss those days but we can't go back, I miss those days but we can't go back
I miss those days but we can't go back, I miss those days but we can't go back
My momma said taught sense is better than bought sense in a days
At times I lost sense, but then I got right back to my way
Lil baby be cautious, cause the way you walking, I'm amazed
I'm trynna hit everybody daughter on the block, it was a phase
Dreams way bigger than that kid Lil Terrio
A Tribe Called Quest blaring sounds out my stereo
Saturday morning, SpongeBob and some cereal
Rhyme so sick, I was worth than bacterial
I'm talking bout virus, I'm talking about venereal
Shawty so bad, that I met her after class
And she gave mer her number, but jokes on me, it was the serial (Damn)
I can't even lie, that kinda blew my confidence
Anxious for the next girl that I flirt with and the consequence
It's evident that I did not exert enough dominance
Had to call the boys up, we had a little conference
All my niggas stuck in a gaze of astonishment
They be like DJ, you making it way bigger than it is, but to me is was huge to my pride like a monument
Had me crying in the club, almost dropped to my knees
But I'm thuggin' by the morning when, mental is at peace
Then I started writing poems, so my thoughts was release
Never knew that all my pain, would actually keep me out the streets
Shout out to all of my niggas from the 5, on the beats
Yeah do this for homies, that's alive and deceased
I just pray to stick around, so I can vibe out in peace
Now I'm making checks 3X what your rent is
I'm trynna beat the rap world record like it's Guinness
I'm killing every beat. First degree. Life sentence
Circa 2000, send my love to the village. DJ

(Yeah) I miss those days but we can't go back
I miss those days but we can't go back, I miss those days but we can't go back
