Uh Homie I remember everything Every single blunt lit Me and my homies we was all up on that dumb shit Hittin' that one lick Gettin' us dumb rich Bein' extra sneaky not leavin' thumb prints There was little Mac killin' packs of fun dip And my people that been with us since the young kid Gettin' caught by my pops blowin' haze ...Smokin' blunts from my younger through my older days Nothin' goes to waste Not a day was smashed There was doe to make And we was makin' cash Bangin' rap till the neighbors called the cops Beatin' dudes up throwin' mollywops Some people say that I'm all just talk But I'll tell you everything about the block I walked I wasn't cookin' pot, I wasn't tokin' guns But I was lookin' high, stayin' smokin' blunts Yeah I stole a little bit boy nothin' was cheap Santa stayed puttin' that coal under my tree And this is peace to my people and peace to my enemies But nothin' keeps me alive like my memories. You make me feel alive, "These memories keep me alive" You are my highest light, "These memories keepin' me high" You make me feel alive, "These memories keep me alive" You are my highest light, "These memories keepin' me high" But let's get back to the good ones We was just chasin' some women Runnin' the game before we playin' an inning Now we need that cake to the ceiling Cook in the kitchen But these, haters is grillin' fill the place up with villains 'Cause we all just chillin' now Got the illest crowed Raisin' the roof, uh, breakin' the ceiling down I'm iller now then when y'all first heard me Peace to the people who listened past the first week And there's a lot of y'all So let me take a vow This to memories The drinks is on the house We came a long damn way from sittin' on the couch Peace to all my honies that was takin' off their blouse You'll miss me when I'm out Don't leave me when I'm gone You hatin' forty-year-olds I'm peein' on your lawn I treat you like a jon The way I treat a beat This ain't everything, but I'll let you sneak a peak
