Remember last summer when we had the chance
To find each other, start makin' romance?
It didn't come off, 'cause you found another
Without one hand of the clock, what good is the other?
And I can't find no true love, oh, baby, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my
car (Ridin' in my car)
So I went to the place where everybody hangs out
To see what everybody was talkin' about
And over in the corner, all alone with you
Was the boy from last summer singin' songs to you
And he can't sing what I can sing, oh, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my
car (Ridin' in my car)
When I'm home alone, I can think of other things to do
But when I'm rollin' in forward motion, I think about
only you
It's been a year and a day since I talked to you
I don't know how I made it, but I sure have been blue
Every time I think of what might have been
I jump in my car and start ridin' again
And I can't find no true love, oh, baby, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my
car (Ridin' in my car)
I can't find no true love, oh, baby, it's so hard
And I still think about you every time I'm ridin' in my
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold on me)
You really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold on me)
I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold on me)
You really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold on me)
I love you and all I want you to do is just
hold me
hold me
hold me
hold me...
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold on me)
I said you really gotta hold on me
(You really gotta hold)
I love you and all I want you to do is just
hold me
hold me
hold me
hold me...

Why do you let me stay here?
All by myself
Why don’t you come and play here?
I’m just sitting on the shelf
Why don’t you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style
It’s not a secret, why do you keep it?
I’m just sitting on the shelf
I’ve got to get your presence
Let’s make it known
I think you’re just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
Why don’t you sit right down and make me smile?
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you edit? Just give me credit

For those of you who tried but didn’t make it
Settle down it’s never what you think
The summit doesn’t differ from the deep dark valley
And the valley doesn’t differ from the kitchen sink
For those of you who thought you’d be forgotten
The friends you’ve made will try their best to make it so
Think of all the beauty that you’ve left behind you
You can take it if you want it and then let it go.
And this is not a test
No this is not a test
Taking numbers never made sense anyways
No this is not a test
No this is not a test
‘cause you can have it if you want it anyways
For those of us who try to keep remembering
We try to do our better than our best
We think of all the children in the drifts of snow
Winners never quit but winters never rest
And this is not a test
No this is not a test
Taking numbers never made sense anyways
No this is not a test
No this is not a test
‘cause you can have it if you want it anyways
There's thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies I never told at all
What's in my pocket, you never knew
You didn't know me well so well as I knew you
And I know and you know too
A love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No that won't stop me crying over you
I'm not a prophet
Old love is in me
New love just seeps right in
And it makes me guilty
Why do you look like that?
It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometime
Sometimes lonely isn't sad
And I know and you know too
A love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No that won't stop me crying over you
No that won't stop me crying over you
We two are makers just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't beat any less
There's thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies I never told at all
And I know and you know too
A love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No that won't stop me crying over you
No that won't stop me crying over you

Take it back
Oh take it back
I don’t want your lovin’ anymore
Let me live
Oh let me live
It’s not you who I sing for
So don’t sit next to me
Sit by yourself…
I don’t want to wonder
Whether you love me
I don’t want to wonder
Whether you care
So don’t try to woo me
Don’t try to fool me
Oh, I know all of your tricks
It’s the possibility of staying in my corner
I don’t want to wonder
Whether you love me
I don’t want to wonder
Whether you care
So don’t try to woo me
Don’t try to fool me
Oh, I know all of your tricks
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Sweet Darlin
Written by Zooey Deschanel (ZO Music/ASCAP)
When I was a little bit younger
The strain I was under
Could make me cry
Now I’m a little bit older
A little bit bolder
I’m never so shy!
Sweet darlin’
(sweet darlin’)
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
Sweet darlin’
(sweet darlin’)
Come hold me
(come hold me)
Just a little bit longer now
(just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
When things were a little bit clearer
When we got nearer
I shied from your touch
Now that I now what I want, see,
I think that it haunts me
Talkin' on the phone, and watchin' Cribs
He doesn't know what kinda guy he is.
He's got a gold plated ceiling in the TV show,
A broken heart and he doesn't even know.
He's glad to see you
Yes, he's glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting, they've been waiting for years
And they've just gotta hear
The kids are all waiting, they've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us
World can be quiet when you're up too late
I'm just a childhood prisoner of a garden gate
If its broke, then kick it, dust yourself off
Find a quiet place and have a good laugh
I'm glad to see you
Yes, I'm glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting, they've been waiting for years.
The kids are crying, they've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us

Cried all night ‘til there was nothing more
What use am I as a heap on the floor?
Heaving devotion but it’s just no good
Taking it hard just like you knew I would
Old habits die hard

Piece of the puzzle you’re my missing part
Oh, what can you do with a sentimental heart?
Oh, what can you do with a sentimental heart?

California is a great big nation of one
They never knew what they wanted til it was already gone
What do they do with the light in the morning when they wake up alone?
They just go home
They just go home
Youre the nicest, nicest boy Ive ever met
and then
I think about you then I think about you again
And again
Why dont we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile
I could be your state and I could be your nation
It doesnt get better than home, now does it?
Doesnt get better than home, now does it? (x3)
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home (x3)
I want to see you with the light in the morning
Theres never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me
Why dont we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile
I could be your state and I could be your nation
It doesnt get better than home, now does it?

Gonna get along without you now.
Got along without you before I met you,

You told everybody that we were friends,
But this is where our friendship ends.
Cause all of the sudden you changed your tune.
You havent been around since way last June.

Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone, but I never had yours
I followed you back to the end of the path, but I never found the door
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
Quietly took to the dark of the day and the hiss of the summer night
The heat of the breeze was a cell block wall and when I looked you were out of sight
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just wan't to know you're there
Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,

I’m all out of luck but what else could I be?
I know he’s yours and he’ll never belong to me again
I did him wrong
So don’t brag
Keep it to yourself
I did him wrong
I was never, no I was never, no I was never enough
But I can try, I can try to toughen up
I listened when they told me if he burns you let him go
Change is hard I should know
So I’ll keep my head down if you keep it quiet from now on
In the halls I’d rather hear silence
Than the bells of new love
So don’t brag
Keep it to yourself
I did him wrong
I was never, no I was never, no I was never enough
But I can try, I can try to toughen up
I listened when they told me if he burns you let him go
Change is hard
if you ever change your mind
about leaving, leaving me behind
bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
and bring it on home to me
yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah
I'll give you jewelry and money too
and that ain' all, all I'll do for you
oh, bring it to me,
bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah
you know I'll always be your slave
until I'm buried, buried in my grave
oh, bring it to me
bring your sweet loving
and bring it home to me
yeah, yeah
I had some brand new shoes
They were all red but they gave me the blues
And they're runnin' away, they left me a letter
It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
nothin' at all
We are all made of air
There's stars in my eyes and there's sun in my hair
And I'm runnin' away, it makes me feel better
It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
nothin' at all
When it comes down to this
I'm neither sorry nor cross nor unfit
And I'm runnin' away, there's smoke on my sweater
It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothin' nothin' nothin'
nothin' at all
I had some brand new shoes
They were all red but they gave me the blues

My eyes are so bleary
I guess I’m young but
I feel so weary
I try to express it
But I think it’s all a bore
It’s at the heart of me
A very part of me
Speak slowly I can’t hear you
My mind keeps spinning
Closer and closer
To the rain on the roof
And the rain in my head
And the things that you said
Keep on sinking further ahead
And it just gets
So foggy
It’s nowhere in here
And it’s everywhere else
That I don’t want to be
But I’m stuck here
Getting misty over you
I’m alone on a bicycle for two
Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
Havent had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Why do I always want to sock it to you hard?
Let you know what love is like when I'm keeping all my cards up on the shelf
Where you can't see them
Why do I always want to keep it to myself?
Taking advantage only works when you're leaving someone else out in the dark I didn't mean to
Running away from you Is just like running a business
And I'm keeping up with the games you play
Well I'm back in your good graces, again.
Remember when you told me that I was your only friend
well you made the best of this life where you never knew
one day from the next, dig your heels in a little girl
put them to the test
you gotta be kind to yourself.
you gotta be kind to yourself
well i heard you had the blues again
seems like all those little things add up in the end
well i know that you heard a lot about things you can't control
so many things we like to have, we just cannot hold.
you gotta be kind to yourself.
you gotta be kind to yourself.
you gotta be kind to yourself.
People come, people go
Sometimes without goodbye,
sometimes without hello
I've got one magic trick
Just one and that's it
Ooh... I disappear
It's like, now you see me, now you don't
You think you're gonna get to know me now,
well you I've just got one magic trick
Just one and that's it
Ooh... Ooh... I disappear
Aah... Aah...
It's like, easy come, easy go
Sometimes without goodbye,
sometimes without hello
I've got one magic trick
Just one and that's it
Ooh... I disappears
It's gonna take a lotta love
to change the way things are
it's gonna take a lotta love
or we won't get too far
so if you're looking in my direction
and we don't see eye to eye
my heart needs protection
and so do I
it's gonna take a lotta love
to make it through the night
it's gonna take a lotta love
or we won't work out right
so I hope you're out there waiting
and I hope you show up soon
because my head needs relating
not solitude
I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got
I like to mean what I say
But it don't always come through
Because if I say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it all true
And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still
It's all just news to me
Don't really care if it hurts
Because if I know it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse
He was different at first
But then he won't understand
Because he's never going to know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand
And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
It's hard to be ignore
When I look at you, you look so bored
My baby, my darling, I've been taking a beating...
Well alright (well alright)
It's okay (It's okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun
It's hard to take the blame
When I look at you, you're so ashamed
My baby, my darling, I've been thinking
Of leaving
Well alright (well alright)
It's okay (It's okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun
Well alright (well alright)
It's okay (It's okay)
We all feel ashamed sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself in the sun
If you can't sleep
I'll be there in your dreams
I'll be there in your dreams
If you can't sleep at all
And in your dreams
I'll touch your cheek
And lay my head on your shoulder
Goodbye shadows
Goodbye shadows
You're far away
If you can't see my face
if the world is cold
but the sun shines the same
Shut your eyes
There are bluer skies
for your embrace to my heart
Goodbye shadows
Goodbye shadows
If you can't sleep
I'll be there in your dreams
I'll be there in your dreams
If you can't sleep at all
And in your dreams
I'll touch your cheek
Looking for a letter Trace it in the Sand
Nothing was lost on the way
I couldn't stay holding your hand
Hours on the sidewalk staring at the sun
Everyone is wasting away wasting the day
jumping the gun
I know it all comes full circle
it all comes crashing down on you
Hide in your heart
Chase it til the morning
Sunlight is lost in your eyes
you never tried facing these things
Walking on a circle taking staking on a stride
Faces are not what they seem
I always dream facing the tide
I know it all comes full circle,
It all comes crashing down on you
I'm gonna make it make it better
I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
I'm gonna make it make it better
I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
I'm gonna make it make it better
I'm gonna get the best lock it and swallow the key
I'm gonna make it make it better
I'll be home for christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home christmas

I was taking a walk
When I saw you pass by
I thought I saw you looking my way
So I thought I’d give you a try
When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true
So I asked you maybe, baby
What you gonna do?
‘Cause I have been waiting for a long long time
for a boy like you
I won’t be waiting anymore ‘cause I know
I was made for you

I thought I saw your face today
But I just turned my head away
Your face against the trees
But I just see the memories
As they come
As they come
And I couldn’t help but fall in love again
No I couldn’t help but fall in love again
I saw it glitter as I grew
And loved it why I never knew
I thought this place was heaven sent
But now it’s just a monument
In my mind
In my mind
And I couldn’t help but fall in love again
No I couldn’t help but fall in love again
The cars and freeways implore me to stay
Away out of this place
My mother said, “just keep your head,
And play it as it lays.”
I somehow see what’s beautiful
In things that are ephemeral
I’m my only friend of mine
And love is just a piece of time
In the world
In the world
And I couldn’t help but fall in love again
I shoulda known better with a guy like you
that I would love everything that you do
and I do
hey hey hey and I do
I never realized what a kiss could be
this could only happen to me
can't you see
can't you see
That when I tell you that I love you
you're gonna say you love me too
and when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
I never realized what a kiss could be
this could only happen to me
can't you see
can't you see
That when I tell you that I love you
you're gonna say you love me too
and when I ask you to be mine
Hair got caught in the sunlight, darling
But I just wasted the day
I knew it would happen this way
Can't get up in the morning lately
And I'm just stuck in a dream
I'm always in this ship in the stream
I'm not wasting away and you don't want me anymore
You're free to do what you want, I know
But I can't be on the clock
Ah... Oo...
This is the way
I always dreamed it would be
The way that it is, oh
When you are holding me
I never had a love of my own
Maybe that's why when we're all alone
I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near
Loving you
It keeps me satisfied
And I can't explain, oh no
The way I'm feeling inside
You look at me, we kiss and then
I close my eyes and here it comes again
I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near
I hear the music all the time, yeah
I hear the music hold me tight now baby
I hear the music all the time
I hear the music
I hear the music (baby)
Ahh...
I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby

Yo, Operator jack it up
And make the girls them on de dance floor back it up
Yo, tell the selector fe pull it up
The place hot but a hot girl pull it up
Yo, Operator jack it up
And make the girls them pon de dance floor back it up
Ah what dem think?
Ah what dem feel?
Ah what dem think?
Clean Steel!
(chorus)
Tic Toc Tic goes the clock
Informers dance to the sound of my glock
They all get scared when they hear the thing cock
Rude boy there and we have the place lock
Tic Toc Tic goes the clock
Blaze up the fire make the fussy dem drop
Chilling in the club
Champagne a pop
Getting that money and we ain't gonna stop
We gonna party like we never had a party yet
She get scared cause she never had a yardie yet
Tipsy because she never drink Bacardi yet
She never get it 'til she sing a Bob Marley yet
I like the way she keep it tight like she celibate
She have me acting like a bedroom degenerate
Turn on the charm and me get her whole body wet
Off the bed, on the floor, pon the laminate
I hear the enemies ah call out meh name
Them act like them think it is a game
Let them know when we roll we roll deep
Bad man put them to sleep! Bad a week!
(chorus)
She's all over me that is so ironic
Rockin' them sevens and brown man hold a blonic
Whisper in my ear she wha fly supersonic
Vitamin S - she want the natural tonic
Real street hustler we grow hydroponic
Jamaican niggas doh live without chronic
Snitches and rats make me get demonic
Run up in the club and make the whole place panic
Never trust a rat cause dem love chat ya heard
Snitch will always be a snitch mark meh word
Flex like a fool get caught like a nerd
Go jail and go sing like bird
(chorus)
Cho! Raise ya glass make a toast to the dapper dem
Ah wanna big up all the champagne popper dem
The ones who live the lifestyles of the rapper dem
And all the girls dem wit de biggest set a knocker dem
Ya gotta love it when ya see a whole flock a dem
Up in the club and ya boys taking stock a dem
Am feeling one but the rest a cock blocker dem
That's how you know you gotta bring ya game proper then
Don't hate the informers and the clocker them
The news carriers the baby mother tracker dem
Big up the big money spenders and the shopper dem
And all the ladies in the club they ass clapper dem
Scream, if you looking fat like de whopper dem
Make a nigger bust quick show a flop a dem
Woman a request the real toppa top a dem
Where they bounce news stopper dem! Come again!
(chorus)
The road to success is not straight, there's a curve called failure
A loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends
And red light called enemies, caution signs called family
And flat tires called jacks but if you have a spare called determination
And an engine called perseverance, with insurance called faith
And the drive to make it, you'll reach a place called success
Can you hear me? Dat one yah a fi di ghetto youth dem
Yo, star this a murder, man, a ghetto youth fi life, yo
I cannot forget where I come from
No 'mount of money can't change man, still blaze di skunk
But some leave di ghetto get rich and turn punk
But I won't forget my roots 'cause I don't worship money
That's not what counts, kill or be killed
Somehow I have to buy mama house pon di hill
I've been through struggles and wars
I mon survive it with justa few scars
Nuff man dead some gone behind bars
So right now real ghetto yutes don't fear police cars
Experience stage, it's knowledge
Eye bloody up from di streets and college
But when di whole a we share one sausage
Serve a now and then mi haffi send back a package
Weh Cham seh
I cannot forget where I come from
No 'mount of money can't change man, still blaze di skunk
But some leave di ghetto get rich and turn punk
But I won't forget my roots 'cause I don't worship money
That's not what counts, kill or be killed
Somehow I have to buy mama house pon di hill
Some man mek it and a live betta life
And don't recall di days when we walk wid knife
A simple argument bring strife
Some man a diss dem baby, modda fi dem Uptown wife
Dem a front but he a find out
See dem inna di club and flash cash all about
And post like thug when in fact dem a scout
Nuff a dem neva look back dem rich and sell out but
I cannot forget where I come from
No 'mount of money can't change man, still blaze di skunk
But some leave di ghetto get rich and turn punk
But I won't forget my roots 'cause I don't worship money
That's not what counts, kill or be killed
Somehow I have to buy mama house pon di hill
Yo, when I was small and growin' up
If we cook than fall is showin' up
Paul left town since Dennis blown up
Now him have Benz and nah memba him friend
But di odda day him get back on di old block
Broad daylight like round 12 o'clock
And come pon di corna wid dem likkle fake act
And from dem tun millionaire and neva give nuttin back, but
I cannot forget where I come from
No 'mount of money can't change man, still blaze di skunk
But some leave di ghetto get rich and turn punk
But I won't forget my roots 'cause I don't worship money
That's not what counts, kill or be killed

Said that was nice but I lied
As god a my guide

To be gentle but she replied

Here's my, ghetto story (*Story)
So many reasons to sing now, plus now we got the keys to the kingdom (This is my story, real ghetto story, hey)
[Verse 1: Baby Cham]
I remember those days when Hell was my home
When Me and Mama bed was a big piece a foam
An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
When Mama gone a work me go street go roam
I remember when Danny dem tek me snow cone
An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone
An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown
An mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone
An ,Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan
But, Mickey go to foreign and go tun Al Capone
Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we a lock the city and, that is well known
Yesterday Mickey call me pan mi phone

[Chorus: Baby Cham]

And now the whole community can live greatly
(Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah)
[Verse 2: Alicia Keys] (Baby Cham)
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 11th 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!)
[Chorus: Baby Cham]
We get di ting dem
Dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

We got the kingdom so we have to make way
We take it from the bottom to the top baby
And now the whole community can live greatly

Real ghetto story
See, I was born poor like many men who didn't have notin'
Came to America trying to make sometin' outta sometin'
See we Africans we love huntin'
Found my way up to da top like it wasn't nothing
And hooked up wit some Puerto Ricans up in Jersey
We use to be call laa baw and pot see
Had a lot after sometin', after union city
In a couple of projects in NYC
I remember those days when hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam
An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
When mama gone a work me go street go roam
I remember when Danny dem tek me snow cone
An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone
An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
But dats no betta than to play around me
And knew I kept the AK displayed around me
And I moved out to da eight to find more cheese
And I found out Cars make more dan weed
I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown
An mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone
An, Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan

I remember bout '80, Jamaica explode
When a Trinity and Tony Hewitt dem a run road
That a long before Laing dem and even Bigga Ford
When Adams dem a Corporal nuh know the road code
I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road
An rumour have it sey the chiney man have a sword
But we did have a one pop wey make outta board
So you know the next day mama pot overload
How could that be?
Shop, shops in the city call me the relieve
Never thought of flee
Some hotter po po styll caught up wit me
But then I got locked up
Then while I was boxed out
Broke us some locked out, then they let me out but
Two Years later my brother skrew got shot up
And got the whole block royal like now wat

Politics manipulate and press yutes button
