Remember Them Days
Beanie Sigel f/ Eve
Intro:
Yeah
It's all good now, we out the hood now
It's all good now, we out the hood now
We out the hood now
It's all good now, we out the hood now
It's all good now
Verse 1:
Who thought we'd see the day when we'd kick out feet up
Lay back, exhale
Put the heat up
No stress, no scale
No jail could keep us
Only case we catchin' now would be a misdemeanor
Remember we used to hustle thinkin' life would cheat us
Not knowing if we struggled, life would treat us
Think on how Mommy carried us
Where life gon' lead us?
Knowing if we getting married our wives gon' need us
If for one time you could look into my mind
When I close my eyes and remember them times
No gas, had a hot plate heat our dinners
No cash, most nights, ate sleep for dinner
Welfare and white landlords
That life ain't easy
Only ones was movin' up was George and Wheezy
All my sugar water babies who live in auto, it's crazy
You keep it in the dark, I'ma speak it from the heart
Chorus:
(Eve)
Remember dem days
Livin' all days in doubt
Remember dem days
Thinkin' there's no way out
Remember dem days
Not knowing which way to route
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days
All of under the covers
Remember dem days
Heating up the house with the oven
Remember dem days
Thinking that life ain't love us, come on
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Verse 2:
Remember kids who run the block
You never thought they would get harmed
Only time our block got wet was when the sprinklers were on
Think about that time, dog, that wasn't long
Now that we got kids, think when we was born
Comin' up in my hood was hard
Every day my mom cooked with lard
Fucked up, I couldn't feed my self
Livin' life, no means of wealth
Eating shit I can't believe myself
That's not a joke
Man I was dealt these cards, and I played 'em out
Yeah, the road was rough, but I made a route
Now picture runnin' extension cords from your neighbor's house
To get lights, fuck Max on the latest routes
Used to close my eyes, try to fade it out
Dumb niggas in the hood think I made it out
Man, that showed me just where they mental at
And tell me half of these cats ain't been through jack
Chorus
Verse 3:
Yo, every day I thank Deke and Rola
For introducing me to Dame and Hovah
Every since that day I met Jay
Man, I know my pain was over
They let me in this game, it's over
Mom, I know I put you hell
But now I'm gonna order you heaven
No more temporary layoffs like Florida Evans
Ain't no good times about dat there
Your boy thyme now, it's fine now, we out dat there
Fuck that Access Card
I'ma work extra hard
To turn that into a platinum Express Card
You can have sweet dreams at night
Your boy ain't out there with them toys and them fiends at night
All them cracks and the gats, left that life alone
It's the tracks and the raps and the microphone
Wish ya'll would fuck that up now
Shit it's all good now
We out the hood now
Chorus
