[Intro: Mike Smiff & Beema Monroe]
Beema what it do baby?
What's happenin' bruh?
I just want to take the time out to reflect on where a n***a came from, you know
Yeah, okay
'Cause we-we-we most definitely ain't where we want to be but
Family
We most definitely ain't where we used to be
Hustlers, I heard that
You feel me?
I heard that
It's gon' be forever in my mind
Alright
Forever in my mind, only you
'Cause you can't forget where you came from jack
The pieces in my life go away with you
Real shit
Forever in my mind, only you
Can I reminisce?
Reminisce
Can I vent
Go and vent
The pieces in my life go away with you
Yeah, well alright
[Verse 1: Mike Smiff]
I came from the dirt
Rose from the the pain and it hurt, I been putting in work
Sometimes you gotta show your ass to make 'em pay attention
Whole lot of faith, lot of prayers and commitment
Gotta play blind, overlook how you living
Sometimes you gotta close your eyes to see the world different, huh
Watch your friends and your enemies n***a
For that money, boy your friends turn to enemies n***a
Feel the negative energy n***a
For that gwap, headshots like John F. Kennedy n***a, whoa
And I remember man
Being broke, tryna get it man
Running 'round like a ceiling fan
And now I'm taking one step forward and two steps back
You would think I'm tryna river dance
And when you down and you out
How the fuck you keep your head to the sky, keep your self esteem high?
Take a special type of n***a just to keep your composure
Rolling up, 'cause I can't do it sober
Get high with me
When my back against the wall
And my money ain't straight
Who the fuck finna ride with me?
Everybody love you when you winning
Ain't nobody rooting for a loser
Got a n***a staring in the mirror
Like keep going n***a, you the future
I'm feelin' way better than n***as
Don't compare me to n***as
'Cause I'm way too competitive n***a
I got the heart of a lion, got the eye of the tiger, ain't scared of these n***as
Down south Dade County, I'm the main one
Who hotter than Mike Smiff, boy you can't name one
Never lose sight of where a n***a tryna go
And I never can forget where a n***a came from, that's real
[Interlude: Beema Monroe]
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Forever in my mind, only you
Man, bruh this song right here so real, you feel me
The pieces in my life go away with you
'Cause you know we the future man, we the future
It's just that grind right now, so let's get it
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Let me vent though
You know, 'cause I got a couple problems too, you feel me
Forever in my mind, only you
I got something I wanna address
That's gon' be forever in my mind, you feel me?
The pieces in my life go away with you
[Verse 2: Beema Monroe]
I remember being signed to a label
What I hated, I was overlooked and underestimated
I ain't made it, fuck a contract, I'm balling, free agent
I'm taking it, 'cause I done been too motherfucking patient
Shit is rigged, nice motherfuckers finish last
Look at the bright side, least I got a nice ass
Enjoy the view, fuck a hater and all of them pump-fakers
Know the ones who do you favors, then talk about it later
Family and friends, I'll say family again
'Cause some of you petty fuckers make me wish we weren't kin
Heard a rumor some bitch and her friends hate me
Run up and get done up, do not mistake me
Florida State University alumni
College is a dream when you raised in the slums, I
Kept my feet planted, tryna balance both worlds
What the hell is brunch? never used such words
Now I, know the lawyers and the drug dealers
Tryna show my prosecutor friends how to deal with us
Why that slave mentality still in us
All this hating in the hood, man it's killing us
I pay attention, real shit is what this rap game missing
Can I get a, can I get a, motherfucking witness
When it comes to competition
Damn, something must be wrong with my vision
Bitches on a suicide mission
Keep my ear bone connected to the street bone
My hustle bone connected to my feet bone
Got this steak bone connected to my teeth bone
Seasoning these rappers then getting my feast on
Let me tell you one thing 'bout success, it comes with envy
N***as hate when you the best, unless
They on your track, then they love you and got your back
But just wait, they'll lose contact, free MT
[Chorus]
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Forever in my mind, only you
The pieces in my life go away with you
Forever in my mind
