There comes a day in your life When you want to kick back Straw hat on the porch When you old perhaps Want to gather your thoughts Have a cold one, Brag To your grand kids on how life is golden So I’ma light a cigar in the corridor of the crib Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did All the money and fame, 8 by 10’s Of the whole rap pack inside of a big frame Colliding with big names that could’ve made you career stop All that, and your man is still here, and I’m still hot Wow, I need a moment ya’ll, See I almost felt a tear drop
When was the last time you heard real anthem? Nas, the millionaire, the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme? Never on schedule, but always on time.
[Chorus- Chrisette Michele] These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me) These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me) Oh, I’m that history, I’m that block I’m that lifestyle, I’m that that spot I’m that kid by the number spot That’s my past that made me hot Here’s my lifelong anthem Can’t forget about you (Can’t forget about you)
Can’t forget about the old school Bam, Cas, Mel lie Mel flash, Rocks steady spinning on they back Can’t forget when the first rap Grammy when to Jazzy Fresh Prince, Fat Boys broke up, Rap hasnt been the same since So irregular, how it mess you up when Mr. T became a wrestler Can’t forget about Jordan’s retirement The shot Robert Horry hit to win the game in the finals kid Some things are forever, some things are not It’s the things we remember that gave the world shock They stay in a place in your mind so snug Like who the person was with whom you first made love
When was the last time you heard real anthem? Nas, the millionaire, the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme? Never on schedule, but always on time.
[Chorus]
These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me) These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me) Oh, I’m that history, I’m that block I’m that lifestyle, I’m that spot I’m that kid by the number spot That’s my past that made me hot Here’s my lifelong anthem Can’t forget about you (Can’t forget about you)
Unforgettable, UnSubmittable I go by N now, just one syllable It’s the N cuz' the game tied is the same vibe Good times had right after James died That’s why the gangsta rhymers ain’t inspired Heinous crimes help records sells more than creative lines And I don’t want to keep bringing up the greater times But I’m dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind The past the past, enough of it aight then Nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson Or Mike when his talk was live Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown's 25
When was the last time you heard real anthem? Nas, the millionaire, the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme? Never on schedule, but always on time.
These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me) These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me (truly this is what made me) Break me (not a things gonna break me)
That's why darling it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I'm unforgettable too
