The nigga I remember
The ni-ni-nigga I remember
I remember
I re-

Man, I remember all them bitches crackin' on me
But I got right now all them bitches grabbing on me
I remember all them niggas with my homie
Window poking, tired of eating macaroni
I remember they ain't care about my music
Now these niggas claiming they related to me
I remember when I ain't have no friend
I remember it, every part of it

My mama told me, "Do it," just can't get discouraged (I gotta keep courage)
I'm gon' give her the world and I'm so determined (determined)
The lights ain't ever working, got me snatching purses (I'm snatching purses)
I jumped up off the porch out here with a purpose (with a purpose)
Goddamn this world dirty, whole family hurtin' (world dirty)
Lil' nigga out here lurking, got my mama worried (my momma worried)
In the studio, I'm on it and I'm dropping verses (dropping verses)
Now these niggas acting like Lil Kodak ain't deserve it

Man, I remember all them bitches crackin' on me
But I got right now all them bitches grabbing on me
I remember all them niggas with my homie
Window poking, tired of eating macaroni
I remember they ain't care about my music
Now these niggas claiming they related to me
I remember when I ain't have no friend
I remember it, every part of it

Talking way before the fame, I was broke (ain't have no money)
Yeah, when I was snatching chains, had no hope (still ain't have no money)
Steady wrapped in chains, jail back and forth (for that money)
I was going insane, had nowhere to go (for that money)
They callin' me names, they cracking jokes (it ain't even funny)
That back when I was lame, wasn't nobody close (nobody close to me)
Told lil' mama blow, niggas ain't believe me (but they ain't listening)
My mixtape free but they be tryna buy my CD (tryna buy my CD)
I was out here scheming, talking to those demons (to them demons)
They say I'm arrogant, say I'm so conceited (I'm conceited)
You should be happy, I was blind now I'm seeing (ain't shit to see)
Nightmares going crazy, ghetto dreaming (when I was dreaming)
When I was itching for that money, out here fiendin' (I'm out here fiendin')
Somebody feed me 'cause my stomach steady screaming (you know I need it)
Now you want some fame, coming up, you can't believe it (fame off of me)
Billie Jean, Michael Jackson, nigga, beat it

Man, I remember all them bitches crackin' on me
But I got right now all them bitches grabbing on me
I remember all them niggas with my homie
Window poking, tired of eating macaroni
I remember they ain't care about my music
Now these niggas claiming they related to me
I remember when I ain't have no friend
I remember it, every part of it
