Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
Memories, memories
[Verse 1]
Uhh, I am the first son of Betsy and Edward Mensah
Made love and made a legend, Woodlawn and 47th
Gunshots outside my window, drug deals out by the Citgo
But mama always made sure the tooth fairy found my pillow
My pops was always workin', he put the family first
Chicago Saturdays in the park and Sundays at church
Kept me from off the corner where Stones and GDs was warrin'
And Kings and BDs and VLs all had dreams of bein' Jordan
Even dope fiends was scorin', swish, tryna be like Mike
Shootin' through that baseline in their veins tryna reach that height
I was a little rockstar, dressed up like Jimi Hendrix
In Hyde Park in the good part in the hood like Hemi engines
Teachers didn't see my vision, had me in IEPs
Kicked out of kindergarten, they didn't know that I was me
Tattooed my tears, wrote my story in my skin
Because even as a boy, I always knew I'd be the man
[Chorus]
In my dreams (in my dreams)
I saw it in my sleep (yeah)
The city will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
All mine, all mine
Memories (memories)
On 47th street (yeah)
One day it will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
All mine, all mine
[Verse 2]
Sebastian got me hot
At age 12 I learned the difference between white and black
Police pulled me off of my bike, I landed on my back
Back to reality, oops, a victim of gravity
Where they pull you down and keep you there
Dependin' on how you keep your hair
Now it's fuck 'em, bumpin nothin' but NWA
Smokin' a 7 or an 8th, way before 7th grade
My classmates sellin' yay, Sebastian got me high that first time
In the back of an abandoned truck by Webster Place
Couldn't feel my face
Sprayin' paint to see my name on trains, try not to catch a case
Age 13 at Cam's granny house, watchin' him shoot up the Ace
He took the needle out and waved it in my face
If I ain't tell that boy, "Be easy, dog," I coulda died of AIDS
I started realizin' my talents 'bout the time I was 15
Tryna take over the world like Pinky and the Brain
Sellin' kush and hittin' stains, still in True Religion jeans
16, I was shinin' just like a Stanley Kubrick scene
Sneakin' into Lollapalooza, I fell off of that bridge
15,000 volts went through my elbow, fell over 30 feet
The doctor said I should be dead, still alive and still ain't scared
In the hospital bed, writin' these rhymes in my head
[Chorus]
In my dreams (in my dreams)
I saw it in my sleep (yeah)
The city will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
All mine, all mine
Memories (memories)
On 47th street (yeah)
One day it will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
All mine, all mine
[Outro]
In a land of desperation
We often turn to self medication as a coping mechanism
Some make a living as hood pharmacists
While some just inhale to remove them from hell
I watched from the window of a gated community
Until I grew old enough there was no immunity
From allure of the life (rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin')
