Polaroid Picture - Slaine

Before my prime

I took the orange line

With my stuff kicks

Sometimes dusty

I fantasize of having plush whips

Romanticize on world tours

Day dreams are interrupted

Buy colds nights and frosty women yeah the one who suck dick

My culture being high drugs, liquor and gambling

Fist fighting with hot heads, pushing powder or flanagans

Mush is betting outlandishing

Trying but they cannot win

Danny got scared he lost a grand and brought his hand gun in

I close my eyes and I can still remember Janets grin

Before she was junkie in the halfway house my aunt is in

How do I tell these stories, feels like I can’t begin

Living is salty when my grandma got her cancer

Jimmy taught me how to be a man

Throwing punches, paying rent

I stay determined for one day I’ll be the main event

The past it move fast, every day I came and went

All I got is my memories 'cause I can never save a cent

I don’t need a photograph

I got these memories in my head

And you don’t even know the half

So used to the way I live

And I always remember

I never could forget where I came from

And I always remember

Forever like a Polaroid picture

I’ve been reading all the signs

I’ve been speaking from my mind

I’ve been drinking all the time

That’s what they say

Might’ve broke a couple hearts

Broke a couple laws

When you up against the odds

J the S, live from the land of hope and dreams

Where archangels fly with broken wings

Smoke screens can steal the lives

Emcees Stealing rhymes, OC’s stealing lives

Friends I used to admire, Expire in his junkies

Begging for change and for the donkeys that haunts me

Like the ghost of XPO cancer in his stomach and lungs

Stole my friend he was barely 31

You know we the one, and reffer ease my mind

Haters never see me they just see me on my grind

Never bite my tongue son I need to speak my mind

We on the same page I just read between the lines

I don’t need a photograph

I got these memories in my head

And you don’t even know the half

So used to the way I live

And I always remember

I never could forget where I came from

And I always remember

Forever like a Polaroid picture

(Verse:3 Dutch Rebelle)

Kept the skully low on doobie

For those who thought they knew me

My life is like a movie

When these actors write their script wrong

Sick of getting did wrong

So I kept my pace in this race

Blowing' by ‘em like the officers I dipped on

Water for cornflakes, Stirring coco powder

Check cowards by the hour

They clamming up like chowder

My concepts are hard steps

Long leaps, hard turns

Real pains that I’ve learned

I’ve lost but I’ve earned

The right to roam the night

Gripped the bottle tight

Wickedness in everything I write

Peak into my life

Couple times I had to duck right

Had to block a jab, Tap into my temple when I write

Mix it in the lab

Cause I’ve been battling demons

But still over achieving, Few deaths

They have my grieving in church

I’m sneaking freezing

Let my mother say my prayers 'cause I’m living in hell

Cause if I don’t belong in heaven then I’m happy I fell

I don’t need a photograph

I got these memories in my head

And you don’t even know the half

So used to the way I love

And I always remember

I never could forget where I came from

And I always remember

Forever like a Polaroid picture
