I remember, back in the day Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way I remember, back in the day Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way I remember, back in the day Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way Had to crawl, had to learn how to play Life is chess, got to mow this old lump of clay I remember, back in the days On my knees, time to pray Oakland City, life in the bay I remember, tryin' to find my way, tryin' to find my way As a kid, I would shuffle up the block, block, block, block See my kin falls, ever now I remember, back in the days Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way I remember, back in the days Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way Change day, de-point, serve night And we call them, go free Free, without drink, North Oakland sings See life, cut out, like a knife, plenty of strife In the wild, wild west, high life, I ain't seen it all And I had a ball, had to brawl, last stand tall On the wall, no fall, no saw, so I said to God This here girl reminisce with the bliss of sentence When I get pissed, are y'all really, really ready for this? I remember, back in the days Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way I remember, back in the days Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way I remember, back in the days Remember, son, I'll find my way, find my way
