when I was young the homies hung when I was young I cruised NYC lonely when I was young Hennessy spilled on me when I was young I was an outlaw on the run when I was young I was clubbing all night long when I was young I was gang banging on my own when I was young I thought I had the city when I was young my Dad wasn't with me I set out to set the streets ablaze Now I am older and now I am age Now I am older and now I blaze I turned water into wine. I turn daughters into mine Now I am older and now I am age Now I am older and now I blaze when I was young I remember it was about having fun when I was young I remember the cage when I was young I remember the homies rage when I was young I remember the way stop n frisk frisk to stop stop n frisk frisk to stop yeah I remember when. you and I we together would ride now God you stood by side I watch the sun rise East of course You gave me hope even when Satan left me broke I knew I was riding for bigger cause
