Remember The Times - Chase Moore, Ziggy

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright

Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want

But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore

One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times

Look, I grew up, a fucking screw-up

They be talking 'bout us like the past tense and they never knew us

But nowadays I’ma act a fool for what

Diving in a pool of bucks like I’m Scrooge McDuck

Rep the same place that I started at (916)

Sacramento, a star on the map (capital)

So let me start with the facts, first fitted I ever had was a Oakland A’s

starter hat

So always knew I had to rep the west

Remember the time, don’t you ever forget

Kept the 36 Chambers in my cassette deck

Driving reckless like Belly with DMX

I was a Nola soldier on that No Limit

Then it was Hova, Slim Shady and the old Xzibit

The first time I heard the Lox

It made me a warrior and now I’m Curry with the shot

Blah

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright

Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want

But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore

One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times

Uh

Ay, they be fronting through the 'gram now

But everything I did made me who I am now

Never fucked with the graffiti or the handstyles

But now I’m tagging on these beats getting grands now («Ch-Ch-Chase Moore)

667 is a major movement

They made me do it, had to lay the blueprint

It’s like they hate success and never made improvements

Fuck what they assuming we deep as the ancient ruins

Embracing everything that make us human

Take a eighth before I go to sleep and wake up shrooming

Paint a picture clear as I can

Michael Jackson video, I disappear in the sand (remember the time)

Uh, ask yourself what you do it for

Iron Man suited for the war

I used to have a new Accord, and now I do it for a bag at the Gucci store

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright

Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want

But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore

One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times

Woah, I grew up, a fucking screw-up

Used to tell my momma I can’t wait until I grew up

That green Mitsubishi momma picked me up from school done

Still would eat the food up, with roaches in the cooler

I gotta go up sooner, I gotta get my loot up

Grandma passed away, first time I picked a suit up

Damn what is we doing, watched my momma lose it

Poppa’s looking stupid, I guess it’s up to you though

Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want

But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore

One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that

Taught myself how to rap, ain’t never need no help with that

You looking flimsy, is you bending oh you finna crack

Give me just a little bet I’m bringing something bigger back

It’s probably crazy if you make it outta where we at

Remember when they said we couldn’t shine like that

Yeah

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, like I like

It was a time, when they wouldn’t let me shine bright, it’s alright

Them was the days it was a struggle just to get what I want

But some days, I hate that I ain’t still a kid anymore

One day I’ll make it useful tell myself that a lot, but I remember them times
