about

Growing up in a single parent household on a fixed income lead to experiencing life a little different than others. Gangs, drugs, homicides and various other incidents happening in and around your life during your childhood can scar. Instead of taking those negative situations and harboring resentment, I used those same negative examples in life as fuel to drive me to bigger and better things. I always at the end of the day look back at where I came from to give me the motivation to keep moving forward. That way my son won't have to endure the same hardships.

lyrics

Hook:
I.. will never forget
All those days on the block without a pot to piss
I.. will never forget
Crying myself to sleep, wishing there was a way out this bitch
I.. will never forget
All the things that made me what I'm made of
That's right I will never forget
Never for-g-ge-get where I came from

Verse One:
I'll never forget where I was born man
Phoenix, Arizona, where I call home man
Right where?, right there up on the Southside
The shit I been through would probably leave ya mouth wide
Jaw all to the floor, happens when you come up poor
Came from the dirt and all you want is more
7th street and Dobbins, Hazel Dr. to be exact
Why they call it the projects, are we a bunch of lab rats?
Hide the cheese and give G's black gats
Liquor store on the corner, that's right it's a trap
Next door, they be cooking crack
Guess we suppose to be cool with it, since we all black
And they wonder why niggas don't snitch
While you safe in the suburbs, we stuck in this bitch
Right next to the niggas, you want locked up
All fuck, guess we ain't got no luck but..

Hook:
I.. will never forget
All those days on the block without a pot to piss
I.. will never forget
Crying myself to sleep, wishing there was a way out this bitch
I.. will never forget
All the things that made me what I'm made of
That's right I will never forget
Never for-g-ge-get where I came from

Verse Two:
I'll never forget that block I was raised on
44th and Woods, almost had me raised wrong
Lil niggas, just like me
Runnin round dusted off of PCP
Shorty wanna be a G
Cuz his older brother bang and his Pops on leave
These.. are our heroes
That's why we aspire to be zeros
Neighbor ain't left his house in a minute
Kind of strange but his business I ain't in it
Ain't paid rent, now he bout to get evicted
Landlord opens the door to find a headless tenant
Damn.. Moms like we gotta move
She trying to raise her son right, keep him in school
But we broke, so we just moved to another hood
Different toliet, same shit, we still ain't living good

Hook:
I.. will never forget
All those days on the block without a pot to piss
I.. will never forget
Crying myself to sleep, wishing there was a way out this bitch
I.. will never forget
All the things that made me what I'm made of
That's right I will never forget
Never for-g-ge-get where I came from

Verse Three:
I'll never forget when I got to High School
South Mountain, not playing by my rules
Teachers don't give a damn about the youth
So low self esteem drove us to do what we do
Ditching class, smoking weed, niggas gang banging
Never claimed a color, but these the niggas I came with
Hang with so now I'm going through the same shit
The pain's thick and I'm living with this anguish
Essay's shot at my brother,
Bullet holes in our house, disrespecting my mother
All this all over a bitch
Had to cut ties, I ain't even fucking this chick
No retaliation, don't know who did it
We all lost children of God, so forget it
Forgiveness, all I can do is write raps
Hoping one day it'll pave the way away from my past

Hook:
I.. will never forget
All those days on the block without a pot to piss
I.. will never forget
Crying myself to sleep, wishing there was a way out this bitch
I.. will never forget
All the things that made me what I'm made of
That's right I will never forget
Never for-g-ge-get where I came from
