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 it came to fame and thangs changed, thangs changed
 What up Lay? Hope you and ya family okay
 I don't even know where I should begin cause 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
 Cause 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 (my nigga, my nigga)
 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 it came to fame and thangs changed, thangs changed
 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 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 it came to fame and thangs changed, thangs changed
 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
