Picture my grandmother in the kitchen, making a pot of green/ the smell inside my nose soo heavenly/ I see her face smiling you bring out the best in me/ i be asking her questions like G ma what’s that recipe / knowing I couldn’t cook it at all but I gotta ask/ watching the big clock on the wall as the time pass/ I was a young child kinda wild but young at heart/ principle inside my life you know that I was taught / everything a do over never get it right the first time / like memories of me riding a bike for the first time/ especially my first kiss that’s I definitely wanted a do over/ till she left me for another guy now that is a screw over/ didn’t have a good understanding of women until I grew older/ things that they desire and things that’s they drool Over/experience living in the fast lane prompted me to move over/ growing up in the projects life was a little different/ just a because you live in the ghetto doesn’t mean the ghetto is what you envision/ charted a different path for myself just had to make the decision/ Saturday morning cartoons running around the house screaming/ then being sent outside to play while house cleaning/ days when I’m alone there are moments that I look back/ I promised to myself in my heart that I would give back/ handy down sneakers and a brown bag lunch/ things you appreciate when you don’t have much/ Christmas time dreaming from a toys r us catalog/ Christmas tree filled with lights you see the sparkle in my eyes y’all / I feel like I’m cut from a different cloth/ think wit a different mind/ I take you back in time/ I’m from a different time/ I leave you mesmerized/ tear drip from those tired eyes/ sweat drip from the working hand/ I can understand you Trynna a cop a band/
