[Verse: 1-O.A.K.]
When I was a little boy
My mama said I can’t hold your hand, baby
So go ’head and walk, boy
One step at a time and soon you’ll be a man
You’ll get an understanding, in them streets where it’s scandalous If a problem comes your way, you never run away, you handle it

[Chorus: 1-O.A.K.]
And everywhere that I roamed
In every hood we called home
This dedicated to you
So glad I made it

[Scratches: DJ Tap.10]
Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seemed so right

[Verse 2: 1-O.A.K.]
Now I’m sixteen and my mama said I’ve done all I can, son
So go with your daddy, boy
And in no time you’ll soon be a man
I wasn’t understanding, but I was hard to handle then
In the streets with the creep king, baggy jean bandits
But everywhere that I roamed, in every house we called home
This dedicated to you I’m glad I made it
[Scratches: DJ Tap.10]
Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seemed so right

[Chorus: 1-O.A.K.]
Everywhere that I roam and every stage I call home
I dedicate it to you
Everywhere that I roamed, and every place I called home
I dedicate it to you
