Jthovn Presents For Life

Lyrics

The more things change
The more things will remain the same (Down Memory Lane)
And you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Reminiscing on the things
You wish you could go back and change (On Memory Lane)
But you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Cristine was mean
When she stepped on the scene
A beast to say the least
She was voted prom queen

Used to date the quarterback
Cheerleader, Wildcats
Smiled at, mild cats
But she loved them roughnecks

Raised in the projects
D.C., Southwest
Intelligent, athletic
But her life was a mess

The oldest of six
I think her dad was a pimp
She was only 17
Trying to raise five kids

While her mother pull tricks
She tried to keep it all together
You'd never know from her shine
She was stuck in stormy weather

Tried to sever
Her ties, but she thought about her siblings
Everybody round the way
Thought she looked like Robin Givens

Met a baller her from the U
Thought he'd change her life
Told her when he went pro
She would be his wife

Then she caught him in his dorm
Having groupie love
Grabbed the blade and she chopped him up
On Memory Lane

The more things change
The more things will remain the same (Down Memory Lane)
And you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Reminiscing on the things
You wish you could go back and change (On Memory Lane)
But you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Now Dave, the dope fiend
Shootin' dope
Who don't know the meaning
Of water nor soap

Used to be the man
He had the white box van
With all the P.A. equipment
For the go-go bands

Every week, you could catch him
At the local spots
'til some bammas tried to rob him
And Dave got popped

Survived the drop
But he saw the faces who shot
Needed protection from the neighborhood king
So Dave got

The thugs deaded
But the price would be more than his pride
The kingpin wanted him
To sell dope on the side

And use his ride
To make deliveries to the corners
Had to join him
But Dave knew that he would be a goner

This went on for a while
'til Dave came up short
Never much of a smoker
It was coke he would snort

'til he got caught
But the big boss didn't waste him
Let him sample crack rock
And Dave was freebasing on

The more things change
The more things will remain the same (Down Memory Lane)
And you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Reminiscing on the things
You wish you could go back and change (On Memory Lane)
But you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

The more things change
The more things will remain the same (Down Memory Lane)
And you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)

Reminiscing on the things
You wish you could go back and change (On Memory Lane)
But you can't go back again (And you don't wanna go there)
