| Remember when, when it was 1992 |
| Two little kids stealing records, skipping school |
| We must have been like only ten |
| Taking life for granted till we learn it had an end |
| Remember when, and time is something they say |
| You never appreciate till you age |
| And to this day you never knew |
| I wanted to be just like you |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| Remember when, when it was 2002 |
| You started slinging coke and got the dopest pair of shoes |
| But, yo, this house just ain’t a home |
| Since our father hit the bottle and our mother hit the road |
| And time is something they say |
| You never understand until it slips away |
| And looking back I think you knew |
| I wanted to be just like you |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| And now I’m tired of the violence, I’m so tired of the sirens |
| And it’s better me, better me than you |
| Now I’m tired of the violence, I’m so tired of the sirens |
| And it’s better me, better me than you |
| Slipping and we’re falling |
| Slipping and we’re falling through ice |
| Slipping and we’re falling |
| Don’t know where we’re going with our lives |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| If I only knew, then what I know now |
| Then what I know now |
| And now I’m tired of the violence, I’m so tired of the sirens |
| And it’s better me, better me than you |
| Now I’m tired of the violence, I’m so tired of the sirens |
| And it’s better me, better me than you |
| Remember when |
| Slipping and we’re falling |
| Slipping and we’re falling through ice |
| Slipping and we’re falling |
| Don’t know where we’re going with our lives |
| Slipping and we’re falling |
| Slipping and we’re falling through ice |
