Memories On 47th St.

Hip-Hop

I am the first son of Betsy and Edward Mensah

Made love and made a legend, Woodlawn and 47th

Gunshots outside my window, drug deals out by the Citgo

But mama always made sure the tooth fairy found my pillow

My pops was always workin', he put the family first

Chicago Saturdays in the park and Sundays at church

Kept me from off the corner where Stones and GDs was warrin'

And Kings and BDs and VLs all had dreams of bein' Jordan

Even dope fiends was scorin', swish, tryna be like Mike

Shootin' through that baseline in their veins tryna reach that height

I was a little rockstar, dressed up like Jimi Hendrix

In Hyde park in the good part in the hood like Hemi engines

Teachers didn't see my vision, had me in IEPs

Kicked out of kindergarten, they didn't know that I was me

Tattooed my tears, wrote my story in my skin

Because even as a boy I always knew I'd be the man

The city will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

One day it will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

At age 12 I learned the difference between white and black

Police pulled me off of my bike, I landed on my back

Back to reality, oops, a victim of gravity

Where they pull you down and keep you there

Now it's fuck 'em up and bumpin nothin' but NWA

Smokin' a 7 or an 8th, way before 7th grade

In the back of an abandoned truck by Webster Place

Sprayin' paint to see my name on trains, try not to catch a case

Age 13 at Cam granny house, watchin' him shoot up the Ace

He took the needle out and waved it in my face

If I ain't tell that boy, "Be easy, dog," I coulda died of AIDS

I started realizin' my talents 'bout the time I was 15

Tryna take over the world like Pinky and the Brain

Sellin' kush and hittin' stains, still in True Religion jeans

16, I was shinin' just like a Stanley Kubrick scene

Sneakin' into Lollapalooza, I fell off of that bridge

15,000 volts went through my elbow, fell over 30 feet

The doctor said I should be dead, still alive and still ain't scared

In the hospital bed, writin' these rhymes in my head

The city will be mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

In a land of desperation we often turn to self medication as a coping mechanism.

Some make a living as hood pharmacists while some just inhale to remove them from hell.

I watched from the window of a gated community until I grew old enough there was no immunity from allure of the life
