Remember When

Remember when, when it was 1992
 Two little kids stealing records, skipping school
 We must have been like only ten
 Taking life for granted, 'till we learn it had an end
 Remember when, and time is something they say
 You never appreciate till you age
 And to this day you never knew
 I wanted to be just like you
 If I only knew then what I know now
 Then what I know now
 If I only knew then what I know now
 Then what I know now
 Remember when, when it was 2002
 You started slinging coke and had the dopest pair of shoes
 But, yo, this house just ain't a home
 Since our father hit the bottle and our mother hit the road
 And time is something they say
 You never understand until it slips away
 And looking back I think you knew
 I wanted to be just like you
 If I only knew then what I know now
 Then what I know now
 If I only knew then what I know now
 Then what I know now
 And now I'm tired of the violence, I'm so tired of the sirens
 And it's better me, better me than you
 Now I'm tired of the violence, I'm so tired of the sirens
 And it's better me, better me than you
 Slipping and we're falling
 Slipping and we're falling through ice
 Slipping and we're falling
 Don't know where we're going with our lives
