Verse:
Setting in my office with my pen and my pad
Thinking back on my life of all the things that i had back when i was a child living on ave c
We shot hoops on a rim nailed up in a tree
We didnt have much back then it didnt matter
Moma never failed to have food on the platter
My daddy was strong he showed me right from wrong
& thats why im here - singing this song
My brother, sister & i we had a common ground
The kind of love we had was very very sound
The things that we went through
A lot of you went through to

-like eating watermelon, mustardgreens & barbecue

Chorus:
Verse:
We took the good and the bad
There was no time to be sad
We played the cards we were delt
Even when we were mad
The only way to servive was to keep it real
And where i come from we told you how we feel

Chorus:

Bridge: repeat twice
