I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
We was in the room, countin what we made today
You told me "make it stack", I told you "make it raine
We was in the game, waiting for progress, when we would see the day
We not stoppin, know they investegate
Young Smokey on the block, gettin it in
Takin over heads leanin, cops get in
You know me, double up and put the profit in
Used to hit the cheese spot before the cops got in
BBQ and block partys off the chain, chickens cluckin, we off the chain
I used to hop the train, now I hop in Range
Three different struggles, but we grew up the same
I was a little nigga, thinkin hustlin was wack
Till I made my first stack, and I never turned back
Me and my brother Prob, hit my brother C
Had to smoke spot live at 119
Used to catch a lick, then go out to eat
Nigga always stayed fresh, thank God for the weed
I'm loyal to the block, I will never do you greezy
In fact, I'll put us on the map, and that's word to Yeezy
I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
We was in the room, countin what we made today
You told me "make it stack", I told you "make it raine
We was in the game, waiting for progress, when we would see the day
We not stoppin, know they investegate
I remember all them days, I was posted with Ks
I was toating the ways, and I remember all the plays
I was coachin the Js
I was holdin the haze, I was smokin
I remember goin outta town without a licance
In trafic for 4 hours, was old enough to get indicted
My brother always told me "Nipsey, get a pen and write it"
Back when we used the pool for pool, and used the gym for fighting
Only time I went to school was when I got sleep
That was never, got caught up in the hustling and the block beef
My cousin that was on the north said I could drop cheese
Sent me down and told me "keep a Glock, that shit is not sweet"
Remember when there was a fight, the whole block involved
K was known to toat a 9, and Shad was known to pop it off
Now adays, it's hard to say I even got a dog
And these times, it be a lot of niggas actin like frogs
I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
We was in the room, countin what we made today
You told me "make it stack", I told you "make it raine
We was in the game, waiting for progress, when we would see the day
We not stoppin, know they investegate
Do you remember like a Clue tape?
Tryna decide how I should do my shoe lace
All the fresh air lookin like tooth paste
I could look at the bottom, haven't worn them since I got 'm, that was last Tuesday
Start the new day, listen to new Mase
Sirculate late 97, maybe erlie 98
With 5 cash in my pocket, I was straight
A slice of tropical fantasy, still enough for the train
To go back and forth, both ways
Those were the days
Clothes is my thang
Hoes was the same
Play ball here and there, but no plans for the NBA
I was paivin my lane
To escape out the hood, gotta find a way
Cause niggas my age, 6 feat deep tombstone with the bouquet
I remember those days, was finally gettin payed
Mama in the kitchen, tryna fix a plate
We was in the room, countin what we made today
You told me "make it stack", I told you "make it raine
We was in the game, waiting for progress, when we would see the day
We not stoppin, know they investegate
