I Remember - Lil Rob

I want you to sit back, close your eyes

And think about all those wonderful times that we used to have here

Now I know things aren’t the way they use to be right now

But they are going to get better some day

And I know that…

(Lil'Rob)

Ever since I was about 12 that’s when they documented me A gang member let me tell you my autobiography

Ay I can’t let it to be frenetic, it must have been genetic

To get in trouble with the law take when I break

I’m strapped from the balls that’s what I use to do Smoking a joint or two Lil’Rob getting a little blaze

Welcome to my concrete maze, remember the days

I remember going to school, we meet by the track smoking a sack

With the vato I sold it too, get him stoned

Then I jack it back, remember the guero use to look at us all

Funny and strange, cause my pants was bigger then theirs

But now they all wear them the same

I used to get jealous, wondering why I didn’t have the same rights

Is it because I’m running up and down, eating Menudo, frijoles and rice?

Someone explain to me, all of this insanity

I’m not understanding you, never understanding me When a minority, gets their priorities straight

We become the majority, inflate

Incredible rate, controlling our fate

Controlling our states, and I can’t wait

Remember you told me I would never amount to anything

That I’ll probably be on the streets sellin mota or methamphetamines

So what?

It made me an extra buck when I was shit outta my life

You’d do the same thing homie if you were stuck

(Lil'Rob)(Chorus)

And I remember, when times was easy

That’s what everybody says

But not me, wicked ass times on S.D.

streets

But I still loved them (But I still love them)

And had to have them.

(And had to have them)

And I remember!

(Remember x3)

Remembering the things we used to do The places we used to go

(Lil'Rob)

And I remember kicking under the street lamps, smokin a J Hearing my Homie say, Homie pass the joint this way

And this was everyday and every night was the same

We didn’t call each other by our first or last, but by nicknames

Dreamer, Peewee, Oso Negro to name a few

One passed away, rest in peace

The others locked away in prison blues

One of the things we use to do Can’t nobody take it away from us We used to live life dangerous, time flew away like angel dust

Never known as presentado levas

Stay away from metiches, and chepas

Talking mentiras, cause they can’t beat us Mira Lil’Rob on his lowrider bicicleta

Looking for muecas, beautiful like aztecas

But when it comes to love, before the agony for the ecstacy

What comes around goes around

So baby don’t mess with me don’t be testing me Cause Lil’Rob be one of a kind original individual

Unforgettable memorable indelible incredible inferable

(Lil'Rob)

Give all of my love to mi madre padre brother and sister

And all of my sangre

Enemies?

Chale me vale verga estas afuera mirando padentro

You wanna come in but you can’t

Cause we’re not in love with no mensos

Figuring it out like a pencil

Treat one like a stencil

Just when you think you’ve got a grip on life

That’s when you let go, ready set go It’s a race to the finish and only the best gonna win this

And I’m prepared to take it to outer limits or until it’s finished business

What is this?

Gente becoming witnesses

I don’t know nothing, I don’t hear nothing, I don’t see nothing

Something I learned as a kid

Along with respect those who respect you

Forget about the ones that will forget about you

My recollection is a collection of a big section of mi vida

Memories I need ya, like a junky needs his chiba

I wish that I could go back and do it all over again

But I know that that ain’t happening, so I sit remembering
