Remember When

(Remember when)

When it was 1992

Two little kids stealing records, skipping school

We must have been like only ten

Taking life for granted till we learn it had an end

(Remember when)

And time is something they say

You never appreciate till you age

And to this day you never knew

I wanted to be just like you

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

(Remember when)

When it was 2002

You started slinging coke and got the dopest pair of shoes

But yo this house just ain't a home

Since our father hit the bottle and our mother hit the road

And time is something they say

You never understand until it slips away

And looking back I think you knew

I wanted to be just like you

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

And now I'm tired of the violence

I'm so tired of the sirens

And it's better me, better me than you

Now I'm tired of the violence

I'm so tired of the sirens

And it's better me, better me than you

Slipping and we're falling

Slipping and we're falling through our lives

Slipping and we're falling

Don't know where we're going with our lives

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

If I only knew

Then what I know now

Then what I know now

Now I'm tired of the violence

I'm so tired of the sirens

And it's better me, better me than you

Now I'm tired of the violence

I'm so tired of the sirens

And it's better me, better me than you

(Remember when)

Slipping and we're falling

Slipping and we're falling through our lives

Slipping and we're falling

Don't know where we're going with our lives

Slipping and we're falling

Slipping and we're falling through our lives
