[Lil' Rob]

I want you to sit back...

Close your eyes...

And think of all those wonderful times...

That we used to have...

Yeah

Now I know things aren't the way they used to be right now...

But they are, gonna get better some day...

Mmm

And I know that...

[Verse 1]

Ever since I was about twelve, that’s when they documented me

A gang member, let me tell you my

Autobiography (autobiography...)

I can't let it

Turn me frenetic

It must have been genetic

To get in trouble with the law

Take what I break

I spray at the walls, that's what I used to do

Smokin’ a joint or two

Lil' Rob (Lil' Rob) gettin' a little blazed

Walkin' through my concrete maze

Remember the days (remember the days)

'Member goin' to school, I'll be by the tracks, smokin’ a sack

With the vato that I sold it to, get him stoned, then I jack it back

’Member the whero, he used to look at us all

Funny and strange

Cause my pants was bigger than theirs, but now they all

Wear 'em the same (Yeah)

I used to get jealous, wonderin’ why, I never had the same rights

Is it because I'm brown and I throw down

Eatin' menudo, frijoles and rice?

Someone explain to me, all of this insanity

I'm not understandin’ you, never understandin' me

(never understanding)

When a minority gets their priorities straight

We become the majority inflate

An incredible rate, controllin' our fate, controllin' our states

And I can't wait

'Member you told me I'd never amount to anything

That I'll probably be on the streets, sellin' mota

Or methamphetamines

So what?

It made me an extra buck

When I was, shit out of my luck

You'd do the same thing, homie, if you were stuck

[Chorus: Lil' Rob]

And I remember

When time was easy

That's what everybody says, but not me

Wicked ass times on S.D. streets

But I still love them (Love them...)

And had to have them (Have them...)

[Vocal Bizz]

And I remember

Remembering the things

We used to do

Places we used to go

Yeah

[Verse 2]

And I remember kickin' it under the street lamp

Smokin' a jay (Smokin' a jay)

Hearing my homie say, "Ey homie, pass the joint this way" (Alright)

And this was everyday and every night

Was the same

We didn't call each other by the first or last, but by nicknames

Dreamer

Pee wee

Oso

Negro

To name a few

One passed away

Rest in peace, the others locked away

In prison blues

'Member the things we used to do

Can nobody take it away from us

We used to live life dangerous

Time flew away like angel dust

Neva known as pestas or levas

Stay away from metiches and chepas

Talkin' mentiras, cause they can't beat us

Mira

Lil' Rob

On his lowrider

Bicicleta

Lookin'

For munecas

Beautiful

Like Aztecas

But when it comes to love

Leave all of the agony for the ecstasy

What comes around, goes around, so baby

Don't mess with me, don't, be testing me

Cause Lil' Rob be

One of a kind, original individual

Unforgettable, memorable, indelible

Incredible, infallible

[Chorus: Lil' Rob]

And I remember

When time was easy

That's what everybody says, but not me

Wicked ass times on S.D. streets

But I still love them (Love them...)

And had to have them (Have them...)

[Vocal Bizz]

And I remember

Remembering the things

We used to do

Places we used to go

Yeah

(Verse 3)

Leave all of my love to mi madre, padre

Brother and sister

And all of my sangre

Enemies

Chale (Chale)

Me vale

Verga

Estas afuera, mirando pa' adentro

You wanna come in, but you can't

Cause we're not in love with no mensos

Threw you away like a pencil

Kill you away like a stencil

Just when you think you had a grip on life

That's when you let go (When you let go)

Ready, set, go

It's a race to the finish, and only the best gonna win this

And I'm prepared to take you to outer limits or until it's finished business

What is this?

Gente becomin'

Witnesses

I don't know nothin', I don't hear nothin'

I don't see nothin', somethin' I learned as a kid

Along with respect, those who respect you

Forget about the ones that will forget about you (About you)

My recollection is a collection of a big collection of mi vida

Memories

I need ya

Like a junkie needs his cheeba

I wish that I could go back

And do it all over again

But I know that ain't happenin'

And so I sit rememberin'

[Chorus: Lil' Rob]

And I remember

When time was easy

That's what everybody says, but not me

Wicked ass times on S.D. streets

But I still love them (Love them...)

And had to have them (Have them...)

[Vocal Bizz]

And I remember

I remember

Everything

Everything we used to do

And I remember

Oooh, me and my homies

Underneath the street lights

Gettin' high

And I remember

Oh, when we used to play, shoot 'em up

Bang, bang, bang, bang

Bang, bang (Bang...)
