(Verse 1) Before my prime I took the orange lime With my stuff kicks Sometime's dustin' I fantasize of having bust whips Romanticize on world tours Day dreams are interrupted But colds nights and frosty women ye the one who sucked it My culture being high drugs, liquor and gambling Fist fightin with hot heads, pushin pot of flanigan's Mush is better outlandishing Tryin' but they cannot win Then he got scared he lost a grand and brought his hand grenade I close my eyes and I can still remember Dennis grim Before she was junkie in the halfway house my hand is in How do I tell these stories, feels like I can't begin Living is hard when my grandma got cancer Jimmy taught me how to be a man Drawing punches, paying rent I stay determined for one day I'll be the main event The past move fast, every day I came and win All I got is my memories 'cause I can't never see 'em since (Hook) I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I live And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a polaroid picture (Verse 2) I've been reading all the signs I've been speaking from my mind I've been drinking all the time That's what they say Might've broke a couple hearts Broke a couple laws When you up against the odds J the S, live from the land of hope and dreams Where archangels fly with broken wings Smoke screams can see the lies MC's Stealing rhymes OC, stealing lives Friends I used to admire, expire in his junkies Begging for change and for the donkeys that haunts me Like the ghost of XPO cancer in his stomach and lungs Stole my friend he was barely 31 You know we the one, and refill ease my mind Haters never see me they just see me on my grind Never bite my tongue son I need to speak my mind We on the same page I just read between the lines (Hook) I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I live And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a polaroid picture (Verse 3) Kept the skully low on doobie For those who thought they knew me My life is like a movie When these actors write their script wrong Sick of getting did wrong So I kept my pace in this race Blowin' by 'em like the officers I dipped on Water for cornflakes, serving coco powder Check hours by the hour They claiming up like chowder Our concepts are hard steps Long leaps, hard times Real pains that I've learned I've lost but I've earned The right to own the night Gripped the bottle tight Wickedness and everything I write Peak into my life Couple times I had to duck away Had to block a jab tap into my temple when I write Mix it in the lab 'Cause I've been battling demons, But still over achieving a few those They have my grieving in church I'm sneaking freezing Let my mother say my prayers 'cause I'm living in hell 'Cause if I don't belong in heaven then I'm happy I fell (Hook) I don't need a photograph I got these memories in my head And you don't even know the half So used to the way I love And I always remember I never could forget where I came from And I always remember Forever like a polaroid picture
