Foxy Brown Memory Lane Lyrics

Memory Lane Lyrics

Verse 1 [Foxy]:

Hip-hop...Brooklyn...Damn the rap game and change/ Everytime I turn around
niggas spit niggas names/ 96 was when the love was real/ When Big came and took
the whole Brooklyn to fame/ Straight off of St. James, lookin' all dapper don
you threw a party and bullshit it was on/ B.I.G's spot would never be claimed/
'Cause Ms. Wallace, Cease, and Roc be carryin' ya name/ And later on 96 when
Hovi came and ain't no nigga was a key to his fame/ Introducin' a little
Brooklyn girl by the name of Fox Brown/ About to shut this whole rap shit down/
And to the world we was Bonnie & Clyde and everything my nigga Jay said I'm
ready to ride/ Then I became the sky rocket of fame and 2 million sales later
bet I rode the same

(Chorus: echoed Notorious B.I.G sample & scratches)

Verse 2 [Foxy]:

Damn the rap game and change...Then Nas came and the Firm was born/ We snatched
AZ, Omega, and our team was born/ I took 'em on Puff tour turn around Nas gone/
And the whole crew followed what a hard pill to swallow/ I had to thug it out
and blow in the zone/ Rock 30-thousand on my motherfuckin' own/ But I couldn't
break down I couldn't moan I got this Ill Na Na blood in my veins I spark
alone/ 4 weeks later Puff ended it home at The Garden the show I came up on the
throne/ See I can't believe my niggas left me alone/ And I don't buy that shit
about Puff was treatin' me wrong/ How the fuck you tryin' to pull weight on
this man tour/ At the time Puff 8-mil what the fuck you mad for?/ That's the
problem with niggas see they worse than broads/ On a bitch to conceal their
scars

(Chorus)

Verse 3 [Foxy]:

It's called the vapors soon as you stack some paper these cowards got the nerve
to face ya/ They got the gull to page ya/ How the fuck you have a little soldier
replace her with a doe-gier/ But like I told ya Fox is a trooper/ I walks
straight past ya like I never fuckin' knew ya/ Listen man I'm the first bitch
to sign to Def Jam/ How can't I be the best I'm from the best man/ 97 was the
year Kim came with the best plan to go straight at a best friend/ I thought it
was a cute little spar till I heard her on the Flex tape describin' my car/ Mo
money mo problems kid I guess you never did expect me to blow this big/ I know
my fans won the battle I fought but understand I keep her breathin' I'm her
life support

(Chorus)
