SANTOS, Kur - Do You Remember lyrics

I reached the point of life
Where money don't mean shit
Thought that it would ease the
Pain it ain't ease shit
Was hopin it would get my broken dreams fixed
Thought I seen it all but I ain't seen shit
If money buy happiness why we still cry
If the truth set us free why we still lie
What's the point of tryin ya hardest to live
When it boils down to it we livin to die

When I was young I was ashamed of myself
I hated myself
I had thoughts of hangin myself
I was fucked up, I was barely bathin myself
Fuck blamin myself
Got on my grind I had to aim for success
When I came off the step
I can't lie I wasn't anxious for sex
Was more concerned about gainin respect
Was more concerned about earnin a check


Just know I learned from the best
I learned all the steps on how to get back
I was doin shit a man should
We survived off of tuna and them canned goods
Just know that spigot water cool
With some ice in it
We fear nothin but God and a life sentence
This is life nigga
I told God I don't like sinnin
But my stomach growlin
And when I'm hungry I resolve to violence
I know I got potential I
Know I got the talent
"Money don't mean shit if you
Ain't got the knowledge"

I reached the point of life
Where money don't mean shit
Thought that it would ease the
Pain it ain't ease shit
Was hopin it would get my broken dreams fixed
Thought I seen it all but I ain't seen shit
If money buy happiness why we still cry
If the truth set us free why we still lie
What's the point of tryin ya hardest to live
When it boils down to it we livin to die

When I was younger I was pissed poor
I use to ask what I was livin for
My brother trapped behind them
Prison doors the other one was in the morgue
And all I can do is let liquor
Poor so I was gettin torn
And all my role models was drug dealers
Through escape my reality I use to
Skip school and puff dippers
And my brother played the role of my pop
But coudnt raise me up right cause
He was smokin them rocks
I use to hold my punches back
When I wanted to steal him
He use to fuck me up so
Bad I wanted to kill him
But that anger turned me into a man
So I dropped outta school said fuck rap
I'm on the block with my goons
I rep the hood that's cause
That's where I be
Where every broke nigga dream
Is unwrappin a key
I'm just passin this tree thinkin how
My future gon actually be
My brother killed my brother wonder
What's gon happen to me dAMN!

I reached the point of life
Where money don't mean shit
Thought that it would ease the
Pain it ain't ease shit
Was hopin it would get my broken dreams fixed
Thought I seen it all but I ain't seen shit
If money buy happiness why we still cry
If the truth set us free why we still lie
What's the point of tryin ya hardest to live
When it boils down to it we livin to die

I sit and think what if
Embalming Fluid never got made
Then my Mom cigarettes would've
Never got laced
Then the child support money that
She spent on drugs
Would've went to buyin me clothes
And buyin me J's
All the niggas who sold it to
Her was around my age
If the shit ain't exist they
Wouldve never got paid
And all them flashy niggas would've
Been broke like me
And they can know how it feels
Not to never get laid
I'm steady contradicting
Was thinkin should I get a pack
Or make a honest livin
Fuck it I'm a take this pack
You know Time is tickin
And I'm that nigga who grew up with
Out a pot to piss in
Wish ya'll would stop and listen
Man I do this for the times I
Had to eat in the dark
And I do this for the times I
Had to sleep in the car
And I do this for the time
I had 3 pair of draws
Uh, Without them food stamps
We would've starved you heard me!
