I'm from live you live with no regrets
an eye for an eye
I'm from don't let nobody keep you down
I'm from the back alley playing soccer
racing big wheels with baby Dave & G
I'm from fights on the porch
I'm from running threw the sprinklers
and running up the slides
I'm from running for the ice cream man
I'm from enchiladas tamales
mo-lea beans & rice
I'm from grandma cooking saying how hard it was back when
I'm from a shoe box in my closet full of flowers from family funerals
And a desk full of notes from the better years
I'm from a notebook of thoughts thinking of what could A should A would A happen
