I remember them days
Momma told me I couldn't get it
I remember them days
Daddy told me he was coming back but never did
I remember them days
Aye
I remember, I remember, I remember
I remember them days
Momma told me I couldn't get it
I remember them days
I remember mama said we couldn't eat
Whipped them pampers off and put them G-units on my feet
All me my meals E, E
That means everybody eats
Big Sip E-N-T
Concrete the roses peaking
I got thrown into the deep end
Things got deep and then they deepened
I was weak but I ain't weaken
Said let's eat and got to eating
Yeah
Yeah I remember huh
How bout you
What else would you do
Speak your truth
It ain't easy go and hop inside the booth
Make a move, make em' move
And make a major move for crew
Reaching heights without a stoop
Arrange the unarrangable
Attain the unattainable
Sustain the unsustainable
Left my past in last December but I still remember
I remember them days
Momma told me I couldn't get it
I remember them days
Daddy told me he was coming back but never did
I remember them days
I remember, I remember, I remember
I remember them days
Momma told me I couldn't get it
I remember them days
I remember, I remember
Momma said we had food in the kitchen
That was food for thought
But don't let her forget to mention
To wash them dishes
It felt like prison momma raised me under certain conditions
But look how I turned out it could have been worse
I could have been dead
Riding in the back of the hearse
I was raised in church
I Remember I used to hate it at first
Grammo had peppermints in her purse
But why be cursed just to say a couple of curse words
It hurt me really bad
Cuz da-da was my first words
Growing up he used to say we gon be flier than two birds
He couldn't bring my Mom's half to court they called him Slow Bird
Burdens of a parent
