[00:00:00] Memories memories

[00:00:15] Oh

[00:00:19] I am the first son of Betsy and Edward Mensah

[00:00:23] Made love and made a legend Woodlawn and 47th

[00:00:27] Gunshots outside my window drug deals out by the Citgo

[00:00:31] But mama always made sure the tooth fairy found my pillow

[00:00:35] My pops was always working he put the family first

[00:00:39] Chicago Saturdays in the park and Sundays at church

[00:00:43] Kept me from off the corner where Stones and GDs was warring

[00:00:46] And Kings and BDs and VLs all had dreams of being Jordan

[00:00:50] Even d**e fiends was scoring swish tryna be like Mike

[00:00:54] Shooting through that baseline in their veins tryna reach that height

[00:00:58] I was a little rockstar dressed up like Jimi Hendrix

[00:01:02] In Hyde Park in the good part in the hood like Hemi engines

[00:01:06] Teachers didn't see my vision had me in IEPs

[00:01:10] Kicked out of kindergarten they didn't know that I was me

[00:01:14] Tattooed my tears wrote my story in my skin

[00:01:17] Because even as a boy I always knew I'd be the man

[00:01:21] In my dreams in my dreams

[00:01:24] I saw it in my sleep yeah

[00:01:28] The city will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine all mine

[00:01:37] Memories

[00:01:40] On 47th street yeah

[00:01:44] One day it will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine

[00:01:48] All mine

[00:01:53] At age 12 I learned the difference between white and black

[00:01:57] Police pulled me off of my bike I landed on my back

[00:02:01] Back to reality oops a victim of gravity

[00:02:04] Where they pull you down and keep you there

[00:02:07] Depending on how you keep your hair

[00:02:08] Now it's f** k 'em up and bumping nothing but NWA

[00:02:12] Smoking a 7 or an 8th way before 7th grade

[00:02:16] My cla**mates selling yay

[00:02:18] Sebastian got me high that first time

[00:02:20] In the back of an abandoned truck by Webster place

[00:02:23] Couldn't feel my face

[00:02:25] Spraying paint to see my name on trains try not to catch a case

[00:02:29] Age 13 at s granny house watching him shoot up the ace

[00:02:32] He took the needle out and waved it in my face

[00:02:35] If I ain't tell that boy be easy dog

[00:02:38] I coulda died of AIDs

[00:02:39] I started realizing my talents about the time I was 15

[00:02:43] Tryna take over the world like pinky and the brain

[00:02:47] Selling kush and hitting stains still in true religion jeans

[00:02:51] 16 I was shining just like a Stanley Kubrick scene

[00:02:55] Sneaking into Lollapalooza I fell off of that bridge

[00:02:59] 15000 volts went through my elbow fell over 30 feet

[00:03:03] The doctor said I should be dead still alive and still ain't scared

[00:03:07] In the hospital bed writing these rhymes in my head

[00:03:10] In my dreams in my dreams

[00:03:14] I saw it in my sleep yeah

[00:03:17] The city will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine

[00:03:22] All mine

[00:03:26] Memories

[00:03:29] On 47th street yeah

[00:03:33] One day it will be mine all mine all mine all mine

[00:03:37] All mine all mine

[00:03:43] In a land of desperation we often turn to self medication as a coping mechanism

[00:03:48] Some make a living as hood pharmacists

[00:03:50] While some just inhale to remove them from h**l

[00:03:54] I watched from the window of a gated community until I grew old enough

[00:03:57] There was no immunity from allure of the life
