Trips Down Memory Lane

[Intro] I had to go to hell and back Just so I could bring hip hop back [Intro (Full Version)] I hope all you niggas really shut the fuck and hear me Cause with that bullshit you talking, don’t even come near me Don’t even come near me I had to go to hell and back Just so I could bring hip hop back [Verse 1] Back in the day, I really had nothing to say Cause I was too out the circle for anybody to pay any attention that I’d hope to have So I never tried to do anything out the ordinary in front of the eyes of anybody looking But then I started rapping Then e’rybody knowing my name Niggas started dappin' me up like they knew me previously Like everybody cool with me now, like seriously? Okay, I lied Not everybody, but almost everybody I’m exercising my lyrics like I’m doing pilates People don’t believe in God, but believe in Illuminati Ain’t causing no trouble, ain’t hurting nobody Lodi dodi Start to focus your life on money, you go insane If you ain’t hear shit about me, don’t be speaking my name Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I could make a change in the past The shit I go through on Memory Lane [Hook 2x] Let me take a trip down memory lane Growing up when hip hop was really making the scene I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death And when I rap, I’ma rap until I run out of breath [Verse 2] Better than everybody that I see in my lane I’m tryna do better for myself Tryna make a name Other rappers is dispensable Like it’s incredible just to see how stupid they are To not know the principle of rap and rap the game From letting your gat bang to letting your chain hang Now it’s in the trap game I’m going back to the way that it used be, back in the ‘90s I don’t mean the violence, just the hip hop That’s where you’ll find me And now these rappers be switching up Just like they did with the Democratics and the Republicans Back in the 1960s Back when we was fighting for equality Back when integration was a fantasy Now some people struggle to face reality That black people are strong and proud and smarter now You cannot be fucking us over cause we'll find a better route [Hook] [Verse 3] How many rappers can really say they finished school? Not just all the way to high school, but also college, too Always a reason to be vagabonds and leave the home And leave your wife and kids at home and then be living alone To me, that’s a coward who cannot finish what they started Now they tryna go fuck up some more shit, even larceny Shit don’t never change, no matter what decade, no matter what century Act like animals in a cage (Full Version: It’s strange that these niggas claim to be real, but they fake as hell You can’t really trust too many hoes, they kiss and tell Everybody be killing for money, because Satan controls them Niggas is pawns in the war, nobody told them) Shit, I guess shit will stay the same While we take in more substance to intoxicate our brain I guess it really is a pain when you go down Memory Lane [Hook]
