Memories Back Then Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

Ay, in my apartment a long time ago I knew a bad bitch but she was kinda slow 

Still gave it up when it's a few of us; she let me finger fuck her on the school 

bus 

We used to cut school with her and run train, she wanna hang with us, we want one 

thang 

Just penetratin that throat dawg - she choke on it like smoke dawg 

But whenever I fucked up my re-up, in a dice game I go see her 

She'll give me enough to buy a quarter ounce and then blow a blunt of that reefer 

She used to buy a nigga new sneakers, pay the bill on my beeper 

Just so she could page to put a "69" and I know it's time to go freak her 

Then one day I just asked her, "Why you always give ya ass up? 

I mean damn these hoes get paid, all you do is get laid, this shit don't add up" 

She said "Tip, all I wanna do is feel love, even if I know it ain't real love 

Even if I know a nigga only finna hit it then never call back, I still fuck" 

And that's fucked up cause she's so trill, I need somethin, she go steal 

When the trap hot and police ride, nigga guess where we go chill?

About fo' years she held dope and my fo'-pound 'til it go down 

I remember shawty, she stayed down, I won't say her name cause she married now 

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed 

I think of all the madness in my hea-aaaaaaaaaaaaaad 

Oh-oh-ohhhh, all of the things that I did back then 

Ohhhh, when I'm in my bed 

I think of all the memories I've ha-aaaaaaaaaaaaaad 

Oh-oh-ohhhh, all of the things that I did back then 

Yo, yo uhh 

She would always turn heads when she fall through, she would always make moves how 

a boss do 

And she never gave any nigga time of day, but she the chick all the niggaz tried 

to talk to 

But when it came to me she had a thing for me, when we kicked it she rolled up the 

weed for me 

And we'd both cut class, post up in the cut steady watchin just to see if the police 

comin 

We got close over time her and I, right around the time that I first got signed 

Come to think about it I was 'bout 17, I ain't even have a license, couldn't even 

drive 

I was goin back and forth with these flights, another show after show, each night 

She became so suspicious of these other bitches she'd go through my phone and we'd 

Photos 

fight 

Talk about torn between the two, wasn't really much more that we could do 

Wasn't really much space for us but she stayed down with every tour she seen me do 

But I guess one night I had a few, huh, one night I had a few 

Yeah, this lil' chick that caught my eye, I told her "Hurry up, meet me at the room" 

And no, I didn't have a contraceptive, and my common sense neglected 

And two months later next thing I know I got a text that said "I'm pregnant" 

And you can almost bet she kept it, and that's the reason why you left me 

On top of all that, it wasn't even mine, I went and got paternity tested 

Damn! 

Wait, hold up, is that you? With them big ol' thighs after school? 

Jay 305 had gave me high five when I said I'm in hot pursuit 

You said "I won't ride until Kendrick drive a new Monte Carlo that cruise" 

And that shot my pride, I tried to improv but no freestyle'll ever do 

You're lookin for the nigga with the tallest 'fetti 

You're overlookin every nigga that ain't quite ready 

To make it rain on you like about to break a levee - HOLD UP! That pussy petty 

Yeah yo' nails did, yo' hair did, yo' cell phone is selfish 

It only got numbers that come with a Hummer, her new primadonna I smelt it 

Tried to make you mine hoe, tried to make some time hoe 

But I ain't got the time or the patience to stop and wait in line hoe 

Her dreams holds Versace, she fall for Armani 

Only deal with rich niggaz, fuck you and Mitt Romney 

I'm grown now, I'm on my own now, I'm po-o-o-oppin 

Change my phone now, when I get home now I got o-o-o-options 

Fast forward, wait, is that you? With them big ol' thighs after school? 

And yo' three kids and three baby daddies and car note that's overdue? 

I know
