IN LOVING MEMORY

1990 was the year they conceived a true legend
Had trouble making friends at first because people were threatened
Through tough experience I witnessed my character strengthen
Taking bong rips to come to grips fill my lungs with the resin

Remember rocking up to church having talks with the reverend
I couldn't blindly follow God I had too many questions
They couldn't give me all the answers, not down with the lessons
Knew something was up so I'd just always get chucked in detention

Shout out to Mrs Francis, she never believed in me but gave me the motivation to do things that were deemed to be a little out of reach but it just seemed to me that doing shit that you don't love at all is just a waste of creativity

How you gunna tell a ten year old he'll grow up to be nothing?
Was all too often that that shit would come up in discussion
Labelled a problem child and shit, didn't fit in the margin set by old fucks in suits who. All look like Jeremy Clarkson

No wonder there's so many kids getting hooked on the drugs and I don't even know where I would be if it weren't for my cousins
And all my homies took me in when I lived in my car it goes to show that somtimes it's the water that's thicker than blood

And I try to keep it positive coz I went off my drugs again
The ones I need to numb me out I don't like being touched
I guess it's rough when you grow up with an imbalance in your brain
You're watching everyone move on in life while you're going insane

This shit can be hard to explain to people who never experienced
The constant doubt of one's self worth can make you feel delirious
It's serious, I know that I can't let it get the best of me
Coz if I let it take control than it will be the death of me

It's plain to see that I'm not done, this music shits my destiny
It's all I've ever wanted to do, earliest memory
That tells me that it's meant to be , and since my past is dead
I see the old me's dead as well so I made this in loving memory
