I remember! when we used to sit! [where at son?]

Oh, in a project yard, in brooklyn! {lyn!} [oh, yeah right when i left haiti,

And little georgie, would make the fire light! (i tell ya!)

As...stolen cars passed through the night {night!} [newark, new jersey, ah-ha!]

And then we'd hit, the corner store!

For roots, paper, and brew, wooh! {brew! whoo!}

My drinks, my only remedy! i tell ya! (sold out! sold out!)

For pain of losing, family...

But while i'm gone, sure thing...
