The track samples the Extra P (Large Professor) remix of Common Sense’s 1995 “Resurrection”. I speaks on my most vivid childhood memories growing up in my Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.

[Verse 1: Nello Luchi]
I remember BIG casket going through St. James Place
Kim in that Jeep, tears all on her face
Through the shades
I remember
I remember like it was just yesterday
The day I heard my momma got shot
My heart almost stopped
Donzel escaped from that cell
Goose chase by the cops
Shit, I remember
Cold summers
And hot winters
School clothes fly for September
I remember
When I lived in LG
Pissy elevators 5 cent pack of Now & Laters
Shit, I remember
My ass whoppings was more like beat downs
That's why I'm never scared of men in the streets now
Yeah, I remember
When [?] and [?] had that fight and
My boy pulled out knife
I got cut cause I tried stopped it
I remember
My brother got shot, he had to fight for his life
Still think he hates me till this day
Some shit I wish I didn't remember
Shit...
But it is what it is
I'm just trying to live
Saw too many deaths
Right things turned to left
But we hope for the best
Shit, I remember
Cop sirens and pistols firing
Mommas crying, bodies dropping
Bullets flying
Playing in Sham building, watching the hustlers on Halsey & Lewis
This is true shit ask Nas cause he remembers
My block legendary, shit
If you think that I'm lying then suck a dick
You wouldn't remember
You wasn't there, I had to walk in fear
But it made me fear no man
After a while I started not to care
Fuck it
I remember
It made me who i am
My pops is a G what I remember
My uncle Carlton was a 5 Percenter
Smart man died in the winter
But to the hood he was that nigga
Shit, I remember
