i remember those days when we was dead broke
and i could barely find a dollar for a token
hop in the train just to get where i’m goin
po po’s after me i’m runnin like i’m smokin
remember those days when i went to bed hungry
all i ever ate was white rice and honey
big dreams in my head empty my tummy
might crack a smile but ain’t nothin funny
i remember playin over needles in the street
everywhere i go and there was some part of mr
thirteen thirteen was hookers and hoes
on th avenue sellin bodies for dope whoa
remember cryin sayin that will never be me
gonna make it someday gotta be somebody
say mommy don’t worry it’s just you and me
but one day we will get out of this misery hey
