I remember those days like yesterday
A lot of young angels in heavens gates
Lessons that I learned from the rest of way
Was blessed back then and I’m blessed today
Uh, uh, love to my niggas from the avenue
Uh, uh, that’s out here doin what they have to do
Uh, uh, to survive I ain’t mad at you
See you around I’ll get back at you

Reminiscing on the simpler times
Way before I ever thought about my Mission in life
Back when we were innocent and all
Our friends were alive
Who’da thought in ten years this is what’d it be like?
Tragedies all around us
Turned my world upside down I’m losing my balance
All this weight on me pray I don’t become callous
My angels give me comfort when my demons be the loudest
Lately I been feeling like death is getting closer
Paranoia creepin still I’m
Keepin my composure
My heart keeps breaking for my city over and over
Got me stuck on this emotional roller coaster
Caught up in the loop but Throughout all the ups and downs I know life is precious
Every night I’m praying up ‘cause every days a blessing
Throughout all the ups and downs I know life is precious
Every night I’m praying up ‘cause every days a blessing

I remember those days like yesterday
A lot of young angels in heavens gates
Lessons that I learned from the rest of way
Was blessed back then and I’m blessed today
Uh, uh, love to my niggas from the avenue
Uh, uh, that’s out here doin what they have to do
Uh, uh, to survive I ain’t mad at you
See you around I’ll get back at you

I was talking to a young man yesterday
He was spitting in his rhymes and I heard what he said
'Cause he come from a city where they busting out lead
And it's hard to live they dreams because they life unfair
He tryna figure out when his time gon' come
Him and his other siblings they live in the slums
He seen his cousin killed so he's already numb
And if they make it out man they feel like they won
He said it's hard living his life without no guidance
Mom was always there she was always providing
Pops was never there a tear fell from his eyelid
And how he got a teardrop under his eyelid
Now he's no longer with us a moment of silence
Damn
