Refrain:
In a black photo album with a silver knob
I keep these photos in my head
I still know that time when I have been joung and wild in the block
I keep these photos in my head
In a black photo album with a silver knob
I keep these photos in my head
I still know when we first time chilled in the loft
I keep these photos in my head
It was once long long time ago
When mom was pregnant 32 years ago, she screams, cause I'm coming!
I was so cute without hair on my balls
But they're going to grow, just you wait
I grew up in the East, till I was 9
Orange light and gray houses, then we leaped into the new land.
I can't say only good things about that decision
Cause it wasn't easy for the three of us to get established here
But everything came along like that
And my father... I don't want to speak about him
I don't expect anything anymore
I didn't want to believe anyone, just trusted few faces
Nights outside, the eyes were familiars only with streetlights
Preserved and archived, I have saved it
Sealed and numbered, so that it's easy for me
Even though the memory slowly is fading away
At least I know exactly where I can find them
[Refrain]
Back at that time in the yard with Bobby and so
That rap thing our new hobby and so
And that grass thing 2 grams on commission and so
We dreamed we were celebrities and so
I put on the Jordans with the holes and then a round of basketball
In the smoker's corner Jamal was standing at the totem
Did we have fun at that time... guess
But we didn't just paint our schooldesks for fun
University didnt't fit into my world, not even half a semester
We needed money, we were rebels, we thought we knew everything better
We hanged around and made music
The microphone in the wardrobe, we knew that it will work
Preserved and archived, I have saved it
Sealed and numbered, so that it's easy for me
Even the memory slowly is fading away
At least I know exactly, where I can find them
[Refrain]
In my black photo album with a silver knob
Are many photos from a dude with a silver head
And many photos from good friends and friends that became enemies
From cars with 1000 horsepower and chicks with hot curves
From parties, from concerts, from the fractures, from the doctors
From the certificates, from the last to the first
I have photos of the holidays, photos of my grampa
I was so damn sad, when he died
Yet I have preserved and archived it
I have saved, sealed and numbered it
So that it's easy for me
Because I definitely know, things won't always go smoothly for me
But what reamins to me, is the memory.
