when I was young the homies hung when I was young I cruised NYC when I young the homies rolled with me when I was young I had every girl sprung when I was young I was clubbing all night long when I was young I was gang banging on my own blue to red and red to blue when I was young I thought I had the city when young I had the razors with me when I was young my Dad wasn't with me I set out the streets ablaze I set out the street 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 of age Now I am older and now I blaze when I was young how the sun came up the next day when I was young the streets new my name when I was young I remember the homies rage when I was young I remember them days 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
