I still remember
I still remember cause I can’t forget
I put a lot of pain and strain behind these tracks
You know what I’m saying
Damn, I know there’s a better way lord but like..
Damn I’m just trying to find my salvation my forgiveness god
Know what I mean?
I’m asking you to hold me close
You’re the highest power I know
I don’t know why you blessed me god
But I love you, I ain’t about to quit on you big dog
So give me strength, K-O sounds of the eclipse
About to make the song cry homie
Yeah Soldier Ink - Big Stomps New Pick
[Verse 1]
I still remеmber growing up in my neighborhood
When all my nеighbors were still good in my neighborhood
I was a little vato tryna get a grip on life
When little youngsters my age ain’t packing pocket knifes
Walking the streets after dark in a war zone
A brokenhearted little soldier feeling all alone
Tear drops and closed caskets that’s all I know
In the village of the damned, is what we call home
Too many homies turned phonies, now they don’t know me
They say they love me and I wonder why they don’t show me
Somebody help me cause I’m lost and I’m all alone
Don’t understand why my daddy left me on my own
The rock bottoms where the real killers come from
Thats where I’m from, that’s where I picked up my first gun
A lost soul with no hope and no place to go
Looks like to me, the whole world's out there smoking dope
[Chorus: K.O.]
My life story is a book called survival
I’m steady praying got my hands up on the Bible
A lost soul
Where will I go when my time comes?
I feel it coming
Now you running if my times up
Too many tears over the years
Too many dead peers
But I’m a soldier
In my veins there pumps no fear
Born in the valley of the shadow of death
They'll snatch your wind from your chest
In peace may you rest
[Verse 2]
I still remember when I lost my best homeboy
Still can’t forget how they shot my best homeboy
So much confusion in my mind, got me asking why
He never had a normal life, even though he tried
Somebody tell me why my only friend had to die
The cold look of the devil deep in my eyes
Revenge's sweet, so blood red's what I paint the town
Yellow tape and white sheets is all that’s left now
Cemetery gates only open one way
I’m standing face to face with death almost everyday
I still remember when I first seen a man die
That was the first time I ever seen a man cry
Gang banging on the block was the next step
I’m on a mission for big money, power, respect
And on the way if I have to take anothers life
May god forgive us all, help me make it through the night
[Chorus: K.O.]
My life story is a book called survival
I’m steady praying got my hands up on the Bible
A lost soul
Where will I go when my time comes?
I feel it coming
Now you running if my times up
Too many tears over the years
Too many dead peers
But I’m a soldier
In my veins there pumps no fear
Born in the valley of the shadow of death
They'll snatch your wind from your chest
In peace may you rest
[Verse 3]
Now I think I’m going blind cause I can’t see
I’m letting all my pain and anger start to blind me
I can’t take it, wanna make it, but there’s no way out
Tryna figure out exactly what its all bout
I had a woman but she left me cause she thinks I’m crazy
I’m in a hole, all alone and no one can save me
I seen her walking with the neighborhood drug dealer
Hes gonna hook her on that shit even if it kills her
I wonder if she even knows how much I care bout her
She probably thinks its gonna be easy to forget bout her
I told her she was precious like a diamond in the rough
But she was hooked on that dope and couldn’t get enough
I had to put em to a stop, it took one pop
My nine mili blew his top off, the boy dropped
Murder one, I’m in the pen, thats the fucken end
25 to life and she’s doing drugs again
[Chorus: K.O.]
My life story is a book called survival
I’m steady praying got my hands up on the Bible
A lost soul
Where will I go when my time comes?
I feel it coming
Now you running if my times up
Too many tears over the years
Too many dead peers
But I’m a soldier
In my veins there pumps no fear
Born in the valley of the shadow of death
They'll snatch your wind from your chest
In peace may you rest
