Welfare and white landlord, that life ain't easy
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
Think on how mommy carried us, where life gon' lead us?
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
Now picture running extension cords from your neighbor's house
All my sugar water babies who live in autos, it's crazy
Shit it's all good now, we out the hood now
It's all good now
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
It's the tracks and the raps and the microphone
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
You can have sweet dreams at night
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
You never thought they would get harmed
It's all good now, NU
Wish y'all would fuck that up now
Fucked up I couldn't feed myself, living life no means of wealth
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
And tell me half of these cats ain't been through Jack
Fuck that Access car
No stress, no scale, no jail could keep us
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
It's all good now, we out the hood now
I'mma work extra hard to turn that into a platinum express car
Man that showed me just where they mental at
Remember we used to hustle thinking life would cheat us
Now that we got kids think when we was born
Remember kids who run the block
We out the hood now
For introducing me to Dame and Hovah
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
Eating shit I can't believe myself, that's not a joke
Lay back, exhale, haa, put the heat up
Remember dem days, heating up the house with the oven
Remember dem days, not knowing which way to route, uhh
No cash, most nights ate sleep for dinner
We out the hood now
Used to close my eyes try to fade it out
Think about that time dawg that wasn't long
They let me in this game it's over
Dumb niggas in the hood think I made it out
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Knowing if we getting married, our wife will need us
Ever since that day I met Jay, man, I knew my pain was over
Not knowing if we struggled life would treat us
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Only case we catching now would be a misdemeanor
No gas, had a hot plate heat our dinners
It's all good now, we out the hood now
When I close my eyes and remember them times
It's all good now
Yo, every day I think Deke and Rola
No more temporary layoffs like Florida Evans
All dem cracks and the gats left that life alone
Your boy rhyme now, and it's fine now, we out dat there
Remember dem days, all of us under the covers
Yeah the road was rough but I made a route
If at one time you could look into my mind
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Who thought we'd see the day when we're kick our feet up
Man I was dealt these cards and I played dem out
Ain't no good times about dat there
Remember dem days, thinking that life ain't love us, come on
Remember dem days, livin' all days in doubt
Mom, I know I put you through hell, but now I'm gonna order you heaven
To get lights, fuck Max on the latest routes
Only ones is moving up was George and Weezy
Coming up in my hood was hard, every day my mom cooked with lard
You keep it in the dark, I'mma speak it from the heart
It's all good now, we out the hood now
Remember dem days, thinking there's no way out
Only time our block got wet is when is sprinklers loose on
Your boy ain't out there with dem toys and them pings at night
We out the hood now, we out the hood now
