[Intro & Chorus 1: Chaz French]
( Izze The Producer)
Ayo, young n***a, I-, Ayo!
I remember
How can I forget?
When we was down and out for days
Young N***a, I remember
They said we wouldn't exist
I can show you better than I say it
Young n***a, I remember
How can I forget?
Damnit man, Damnit man, Ayo!
Young N***a, I remember
How can I forget?
I said the struggle gon' always make us

[Verse 1: Chaz French]
Young n***a, I remember
Ain't no stopping it, a hell nah
I got bills I'm obligated to, and you know
It's still that struggle rap shit everyday, ain't shit changed
But one thing that I refuse to do is maintain
I you know anything you want it life can be obtained
Know that there ain't no such thing as living twice, so get it while you can
N***as thought it really wasn't what it was though
Til' you realize it's all in your brain
Now I got everybody hollering out Chaz French
But these things take time and it's so strange (so strange)
I remember back in the day
When Matt Reed was packing a K
And we had no where else to stay
Lived in a hotel for 30 a day
Had no way to pay
Spent everything we had on Newports and drinks
Mollys and weed
Lifestyle consisted of drugs and dreams
And no where to sleep or eat
But young n***a...

[Chorus 2: Chaz French]
I remember
How can I forget?
When I was miles and miles away
Young N***a, I remember
How can I forget?
All Mama had for me was love and a prayer
Young n***a, I remember
How can I forget?
When shawty telling me that she'll always be there
I don't think that she remembers
But she damn sure can't forget
Well either way it go. I'm going to always forgive her

[Verse 2: Chaz French]
Just make sure that you remeber...
That everything ain't what it seems
And good times don't last forever
But could last for a lifetime
Let's make memories
And remember to strive off good energy
And always recognize fake-n***a tendencies
Put nothing before god and the family
Middle finger to mediocracy
Let's stay true to your legacy, cuh'-cuh'...
I remember back in the day
When I got jumped when I lived in the Trey
You know jealousy get the best of n***as
When they barely know you but still feeling a way
On to the next, I got pictures to paint
Might fly out my ex's to show them my place
When you get change you gon' see how they change
Just make sure you never forget where you came!

[Chorus 3: Chaz French]
Young n***a, I remember
How can I forget? (Hay!)
When we was down and out for days
Young N***a, I remember
How can I forget?
I said the struggle gon' always make us
Young n***a, I remember
How can I forget?
Damnit man, Damnit man, Ayo!
Young n***a, I remember
How can I forget?
Yeah, I said the struggle gon' always make us
