1
I remember growin up
2
And all the things we went through
3
I remember all the struggles and pains
4
When no one cared you were there
5
Gave me hope and you answered my prayers
6
I remember all the struggles and pains
7
Now its 1997
8
And it seems like times gone by so fast
9
As I think of the past tears run down my eyes and I start to laugh
10
I'm thinking about the things I did as a kid
11
With no worries just one big family
12
Chilling in Frisco living on Madrid
13
Moms was a hard worker and pops was a preacher man
14
And I give him props
15
Cuz he tried to raise me the best two parents can
16
Working nine to five to keep me in a private school
17
While I was disrespecting my teachers acting like a fool
18
I flunked the first and fifth grade
19
And I wonder how I flunked
20
The first time that they see my report card full of bad grades
21
Getting suspended everyday and letters from my teachers
22
The church keep pointing they fingers sending me to some other preacher
23
My teachers told me I was never goin to amount to nothin
24
Thinking as I get older I be robbing and pimping Thugging and hustling
25
Living that playa life but I proved everybody wrong
26
So to those who doubted me is to whom I dedicate this song
27
I remember growin up
28
And all the things we went through
29
I remember all the struggles and pains
30
When no one cared you were there
31
Gave me hope and you answered my prayers
32
I remember all the struggles and pains
33
Remember the days I used to see my sister hooked on drugs
34
Gang bangin tossin the forties
35
Nobody but the thugs
36
I used to cry to see my sister in that state of mind
37
But keep your head up Jackie god said it gonna be alright
38
Hopefully in 98 Steven gonna be back at home
39
Had old San Quentin
40
But if not you still got me, T-Bone
41
Half of our homies locked up in penitentiaries
42
And some in cemeteries all I got is memories
43
Of when we'd kick it at the schoolyard
44
With plain old Tims Locs and khakis
45
Tryin to show the world we was raw
46
Then in November 26 of 1985
47
My Nina passed away
48
But yo I know she still alive
49
Up there in heaven with the lord god bless us all
50
Seems as you're older life can really start to take its toll
51
I miss my friends that didn't make it to see yesterday
52
Pour out my heart and not liquor for those that passed away
53
I remember growin up
54
And all the things we went through
55
I remember all the struggles and pains
56
When no one cared you were there
57
Gave me hope and you answered my prayers
58
I remember all the struggles and pains
59
I still remember when we came home from San Jose
60
To find our home in ashes burned down to a charcoal grey
61
We lost everything we owned
62
And now we in a one bedroom apartment with no heater so we freezing cold
63
Trusted in god though
64
And knew that he was there for us
65
Whether it's safe and sound or times are hard and dangerous
66
Like two years later when it happened all over again
67
My pops was running with a cash register in his hands
68
Tryin to survive the flames from the business that they had built
69
My mother cried and hugged me as she wrapped me in a quilt
70
I'm telling you it aint easy
71
When god calls you and your family to be in the street ministry
72
I had hopes and dreams to one day have a rap career
73
Its 1997 I cant believe I'm finally here
74
Now I be buyin ??? And diamonds
75
And thank the lord
76
He blessed me with the gift of street rhymin
77
I remember growin up
78
And all the things we went through
79
I remember all the struggles and pains
80
When no one cared you were there
81
Gave me hope and you answered my prayers
82
I remember all the struggles and pains
83
I remember growin up
84
And all the things we went through
85
I remember all the struggles and pains
86
When no one cared you were there
87
Gave me hope and you answered my prayers
88
I remember all the struggles and pains
