Memories On 47th St. (第47大街上的回忆) (Clean) - Vic Mensa[00:00:00]

Written by：Victor Mensah/Larrance Dopson/Ernest Dion Wilson/Dacoury Natche/Malik Yusef Jones[00:00:00]

Memories memories[00:00:00]

Oh[00:00:15]

I am the first son of Betsy and Edward Mensah[00:00:19]

Made love and made a legend Woodlawn and 47th[00:00:23]

Gunshots outside my window drug deals out by the Citgo[00:00:27]

But mama always made sure the tooth fairy found my pillow[00:00:31]

My pops was always working he put the family first[00:00:35]

Chicago Saturdays in the park and Sundays at church[00:00:39]

Kept me from off the corner where Stones and GDs was warring[00:00:43]

And Kings and BDs and VLs all had dreams of being Jordan[00:00:46]

Even d**e fiends was scoring swish tryna be like Mike[00:00:50]

Shooting through that baseline in their veins tryna reach that height[00:00:54]

I was a little rockstar dressed up like Jimi Hendrix[00:00:58]

In Hyde Park in the good part in the hood like Hemi engines[00:01:02]

Teachers didn't see my vision had me in IEPs[00:01:06]

Kicked out of kindergarten they didn't know that I was me[00:01:10]

Tattooed my tears wrote my story in my skin[00:01:14]

Because even as a boy I always knew I'd be the man[00:01:17]

In my dreams in my dreams[00:01:21]

I saw it in my sleep yeah[00:01:24]

The city will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine all mine[00:01:28]

Memories[00:01:37]

On 47th street yeah[00:01:40]

One day it will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine[00:01:44]

All mine[00:01:48]

At age 12 I learned the difference between white and black[00:01:53]

Police pulled me off of my bike I landed on my back[00:01:57]

Back to reality oops a victim of gravity[00:02:01]

Where they pull you down and keep you there[00:02:04]

Depending on how you keep your hair[00:02:07]

Now it's f** k 'em up and bumping nothing but NWA[00:02:08]

Smoking a 7 or an 8th way before 7th grade[00:02:12]

My cla**mates selling yay[00:02:16]

Sebastian got me high that first time[00:02:18]

In the back of an abandoned truck by Webster place[00:02:20]

Couldn't feel my face[00:02:23]

Spraying paint to see my name on trains try not to catch a case[00:02:25]

Age 13 at s granny house watching him shoot up the ace[00:02:29]

He took the needle out and waved it in my face[00:02:32]

If I ain't tell that boy be easy dog[00:02:35]

I coulda died of AIDs[00:02:38]

I started realizing my talents about the time I was 15[00:02:39]

Tryna take over the world like pinky and the brain[00:02:43]

Selling kush and hitting stains still in true religion jeans[00:02:47]

16 I was shining just like a Stanley Kubrick scene[00:02:51]

Sneaking into Lollapalooza I fell off of that bridge[00:02:55]

15000 volts went through my elbow fell over 30 feet[00:02:59]

The doctor said I should be dead still alive and still ain't scared[00:03:03]

In the hospital bed writing these rhymes in my head[00:03:07]

In my dreams in my dreams[00:03:10]

I saw it in my sleep yeah[00:03:14]

The city will be mine all mine all mine all mine all mine[00:03:17]

All mine[00:03:22]

Memories[00:03:26]

On 47th street yeah[00:03:29]

One day it will be mine all mine all mine all mine[00:03:33]

All mine all mine[00:03:37]

In a land of desperation we often turn to self medication as a coping mechanism[00:03:43]

Some make a living as hood pharmacists[00:03:48]

While some just inhale to remove them from h**l[00:03:50]

I watched from the window of a gated community until I grew old enough[00:03:54]

There was no immunity from allure of the life[00:03:57]
