[00:15.61] Everybody's talking
[00:16.64] About the good old days
[00:17.68]
[00:18.98] Huh I remember
[00:20.43] When me and my brothers
[00:21.45] We used to sit up on the poarch in the
[00:22.94] Summertime and just talk about
[00:24.19]
[00:26.12] Just making it
[00:26.56] You know what

[00:29.27] Following up our dreams
[00:30.25] You know and I

[00:32.51] I believe that's every kids dream
[00:33.70] You know what I'm saying to rise and
[00:35.23] Be somebody but damn!
[00:36.43]
[00:37.21] Sometimes we just get caught up
[00:38.67]
[00:39.38] I ain't got no money
[00:40.66]
[00:43.37] And I ain't got no friends
[00:44.99]
[00:47.28] Looks like my world
[00:49.59]
[00:50.95] Is coming to an end
[00:52.11]
[00:53.96] No food on the table,
[00:56.33]
[00:57.59] No clothes on my back
[00:59.30]
[01:00.84] No shoes on my feet and

[02:02.24] And all that mess
[02:03.11] If you try to hold me back
[02:04.44] Would I keep on strugling
