Memories - Snak the Ripper

Yo I remember way back before the shows and the buzz

We was poor before I even fucking knew what it was

Grew up in low income housing with the freaks and the scrubs

Remember momma crying tryna' find some eats for her cups

Remember when we had to get our groceries from the church

I used to think that if I disappeared nobody would search

Around the time I met Matt and we became friends ever since

Listening to gangster rap and throwing rocks at the fence

My older brother Kyle was the wildest of all

When other kids wanted to brawl

Who the fuck you think that I called?

Remember stealing mad shit and getting chased at the mall

I can’t describe how good it felt to paint my name on the wall

I used to stay up late nights to develop my skills

You wanna talk about the struggle well I know how it feels

And as I’m staring at the city from the window in my studio

Just thinking bout' my life and how it’s kinda like a movie yo

Can’t change the past, it’s gone for good don’t waste your energy

Gotta be yourself, forget the person you pretend to be

Gotta learn from our mistakes, that’s just written in our chemistry

But I guess that’s life.

man, all we got left is these memories

Can’t change the past (x2)

Yo I remember way back before the fans and the fame

Putting plastic bags in my shoes just to stand in the rain

All of these diabolical thoughts that I planted in my brain

All of them times it was my birthday and nobody came

Remember grade 9 when me and Vern were starting a band

My first concert was my high school, halloween dance

That night altered me forever, never knew the extent

That music would stay a part of me wherever I went

I remember my little sister kickflipping the set

We skated every day together, some shit I’ll never forget

The kid was accident-prone, I was always in the hospital

I wanted to be important but I thought it was impossible

I used to stay up late nights to develop my skills

You wanna talk about the struggle well I know how it feels

And as I’m staring at the city from the window in my studio

Just thinking bout' my life and how it’s kinda like a movie yo

Can’t change the past, it’s gone for good don’t waste your energy

Gotta be yourself, forget the person you pretend to be

Gotta learn from our mistakes, that’s just written in our chemistry

But I guess that’s life.

man, all we got left is these memories

Can’t change the past (x2)
