Redeem - Memory Lane Lyrics

The name's Redeem from the Philippines
To the US I came, I was only fourteen
I brought a empty sleight and an empty jeans
Arrived in the hood, seen the gangster scense
Flew on the plane to the US I came
My world changed neva been the same
Got me feelin like I'm learnin how to walk again
Got me feelin like I'm learnin how to talk again
I hadda stay real no need to pretend
I hadda learned how to get ends
I hadda stay real no need to pretend
I hadda learned how to get ends
Closed mouth never get paid
Closed mouth never get laid
I hadda to learned how to play the game
So let me take you back to the memory lane
Closed mouth never get paid
Closed mouth never get laid
I hadda to learned how to play the game
So let me take you back to the memory lane
Growin up as a kid seen some crazy shit
Friends so poor couldnt afford a pair of kicks
They hadda crib made of bamboo sticks
Pops was alcoholic feanin for the next hit. Gone quick. Left with 6 kids feelin Devastested...
They're mother
FAMILY torn apart but they neva quit
FAMILY torn apart but they neva quit
But no matter how hard life became
They never complained. Smiles remain
They hadda go thru hunger and pain
Closed mouth never get paid
Closed mouth never get laid
I hadda to learned how to play the game
So let me take you back to the memory lane
Closed mouth never get paid
Closed mouth never get laid
I hadda to learned how to play the game
So let me take you back to the memory lane
