[00:30.85]My first memory, my birthday on a party bus
[00:34.91]Pops wasn't there but that wasn't obvious
[00:37.49]In Mom's arms, in God we trust
[00:40.02]Black Mama love, everything marvelous
[00:42.40]I didn't know what I was missin', part of a system
[00:45.75]Pops is gone, Uncle in prison
[00:48.33]Inside wishin' for men to teach me 'bout girls and religion
[00:52.11]Made my own rendition of grindin' and kissin'
[00:54.63]Weekend calls to my Dad I'd listen
[00:57.26]Still I felt distant, distant like love
[00:59.78]There's only so far that words could really hug
[01:02.34]Didn't wanna be a thug, older niggas I banged with
[01:04.92]I learned a lot from them cuts in the basement
[01:07.61]The smell of blunts laced with a little bit of spice
[01:10.35]Wise, high niggas, giving me advice
[01:13.09]We go out and start fights, scuff up our Nikes
[01:15.77]Come back to talk crap and shoot a little dice
[01:18.18]This is a slice of life and memories
[01:20.81]Sittin' in my mind vividly, often they visit me
[01:23.62]Oh baby, Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh)
[01:27.76]I'm just tryna find a way to understand (I'm tryna understand)
[01:33.67]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[01:38.08]How do I rewind the tape and live in it?
[01:42.81](Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[01:47.45]Stayin' out late and playin' in Wonderland (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh)
[01:55.61]Is it in God's plan?
[01:58.76]I'm just tryna find my way to understand it
[02:03.68]Metaphors can't explain how far I came
[02:06.44]A young man at work, I made my own lane
[02:09.09]Steered away from pain, relied on drive
[02:11.69]There's a old saying, "Don't cry, survive"
[02:14.20]As I kept building there were cranes in the sky
[02:16.74]Certain memories my brain would deny
[02:19.18]A tear laid in my eye, I was afraid to reply
[02:21.83]To the hurt that was callin', it came from the sky
[02:24.34]An older play cousin, of course I trust him
[02:27.01]But he was touchin' where he wasn't supposed to be touchin'
[02:29.47]What's a kid supposed to do?
[02:30.71]When they goin' through, what I was goin' through
[02:33.27]Don't know who to go to
[02:34.48]You want to tell somebody
[02:35.93]In many ways, I failed somebody
[02:38.53]That somebody was me
[02:39.88]Now I'm talking to little Rasheed
[02:42.07]Incarcerated heart, man, you gotta be free
[02:44.75]I felt it, when I told my man I would help with
[02:47.59]Things he was dealin' with I really hadn't dealt with
[02:50.04]Emotions meltin', I began to release it
[02:52.49]Things you can't change, you could come to peace with
[02:55.16]At least get it better for the children of forever
[02:57.53]I read the Lord's letter, I forgive our debtors
[03:00.13]They don't talk about it, maybe sharing their story
[03:02.64]Memories of home, shared pain and glory
[03:05.27]Oh baby, Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh)
[03:10.03]I'm just tryna find a way to understand (I'm tryna understand)
[03:15.61]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[03:19.51]How do I rewind the tape and live in it?
[03:24.41](Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[03:29.55]Stayin' out late and playin' in Wonderland (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh)
[03:37.55]Is it God's plan?
[03:40.66]I'm just tryna find my way to understand it
[03:48.15]Said I'm tryna understand, understand, understand, understand
[03:57.89]Ayy-hey, oh-oh, oh

My first memory, my birthday on a party bus
Pops wasn't there but that wasn't obvious
In Mom's arms, in God we trust
Black Mama love, everything marvelous
I didn't know what I was missin', part of a system
Pops is gone, Uncle in prison
Inside wishin' for men to teach me 'bout girls and religion
Made my own rendition of grindin' and kissin'
Weekend calls to my Dad I'd listen
Still I felt distant, distant like love
There's only so far that words could really hug
Didn't wanna be a thug, older niggas I banged with
I learned a lot from them cuts in the basement
The smell of blunts laced with a little bit of spice
Wise, high niggas, giving me advice
We go out and start fights, scuff up our Nikes
Come back to talk crap and shoot a little dice
This is a slice of life and memories
Sittin' in my mind vividly, often they visit me
Oh baby, Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh)
I'm just tryna find a way to understand (I'm tryna understand)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
How do I rewind the tape and live in it?
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Stayin' out late and playin' in Wonderland (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh)
Is it in God's plan?
I'm just tryna find my way to understand it
Metaphors can't explain how far I came
A young man at work, I made my own lane
Steered away from pain, relied on drive
