(alicia keys)- i remember those days when we was dead broke
and i could baraly find a, dollar for a token
hop in the train just to get where im goin
popos after me and runnin like im smokin
remember those days when i went to bed hungry
all i ever ate was white rice and honey
big dreams in my head
empty in my tummy
might crack a smile but
aint nothin funny
i remember playin over needles in the street
everywhere i go a man wants some part of me
dirty dirty hookers and hoes on eleventh avenue
selling bodies for dope
i remember crying saying that will never be me
gonna make it someday gotta be somebody
mommy dont worry
its just you and me
but one day we will get out of this misery
