I Remember

Yo, what up my nigga? Yeah it's been a minute since I saw ya

I hear your lawyer still tryin' to get that appeal for ya

Wanted to holla and tell ya what's poppin but you probly

Already know we been goin' through problems, anyway I

Hear you been excercisin and gettin strong in the mind

I hear you been searchin for God inside The Koran

That's cool man, I been prayed up myself

I pray for my health and stress way less for wealth now

I'm still a soldier but I'm tryin to be one for Jehovah

We in the Last Days and tha Last Days is almost over

We all older now, my minds much stronger now

I can see in ya letters ya vocabulary's broader now

I wish we woulda been this smart before we let this game rip us apart

But we forgot that God was our heart, heart

But dont even sweat it my nigga stay strong

And we gon kick it when u come home, my nigga Flesh n Bone, Flesh n Bone

I remember, remember back in the day

When we all used to hang, Yeah

Back in the hood that was a everyday thang

Yall remember, how we got in this game

We was all in the same

But in came the fame and thangs changed, thangs changed

What up Lay? Hope you and ya family okay

I don't even know where I should begin 'cuase I got so many things to say

We been dawgs since the Seventh Grade, the Seventh Grade

Struggled together for a better way, and better days

We was Kid n Play, Kriss Kross and all them niggaz

They called you the light one and of course I was the dark skinned one

Hey! You was the human beat box and I was the rapper

In the battles in between classes, those days

They ain't the same no more, we don't even hang no more

We let the fame destroy something's that's worth way more

'Cuase friends are kinda hard to come by ain't no tellin these days

We should of seen it comin' ain't no trustin these snakes

But all in all, we had a ball

And even though we took a fall, it's not for long fa sho!

We'd be some damn fools if we let silly ego's

Come between some damn trues and cause a fam fued

Wish, my nigga, I can clearly remember

See me and you go way back to that day and night in November

Or was it December? When you was mobbin tryin to rob some niggaz

And I was out, put the slug in the pump and I cocked it nigga

But I had my finger still on the trigger, Oh my God, my nigga

Screamin at me like "You shot me nigga!" and I was shocked my nigga

My ears started ringin, I was tweakin, blood was squirtin

You was swervin on the curb man, word man

Rushed to Emergency, coppers came and arrested me

Even though you told them I didn't do it they cuffin me

We told them we was just chillin and niggaz hit us

Half dead and ain't snitchin now that's the realest, that was the realest

That's why we still down, what's really real now

Make ya feel how, we in it to win it with a ill style

You suckas better recognize, better check it

When Krayzie and Wish head over ThugLine Records nigga

I ain't forgot ya Bizzy Bone, what's happenin?

We was always in some action every night straight to ?brackin? its crackin

We walked the streets together, starvin, ain't eat together

Slept outside in zero below, it's gon freeze together

I remember I went to the county

And when I got out you went to bustin your pistol, nigga you rowdy

Now how'd all of a sudden it gettin so cloudy, so cloudy

They say Krayzie got problems with Bizzy, that's why they, they breakin up

Only problem I had was you runnin out on the band

But you explained to me deeper and now I understand

So why is niggaz beefin when there's cheese to get and bread to stack

And head's to crack, we got a deadly rap

Nigga together we the coldest, coldest

The realest East 99 soldiers, soldiers

United we ball, divided we fall

When Bone come back we silence 'em all
