Cham Lyrics

Found my way up to da top like it wasn't nothing
I climbed my way to the top without much effort

And hooked up wit some Puerto Ricans up in Jersey
I met some Puerto Ricans in Jersey and became friends with them

Had a lot after sometin after union cityyyy
We had a lot of something after Union City

I remember those days when Hell was my home
I remember when my home was like Hell

When Me and Mama bed was a big piece a foam
My mother and I slept on a big piece of foam

An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
And I didn't like to bathe or comb my hair

I remember when we went to visit them with huge rocks

An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
And Danny pulled out something that was fully chrome

But dats no betta than to play around me
But that's not better than messing with me

And knew I kept the AK displayed around me
And they knew I kept my AK gun displayed around me

And I moved out to da eight to find more cheese
And I moved out to district eight to make more money

And I found out Cars make more dan Weeed
And I found out that cars make more money than selling weed

I remember when we ran and Fatta got his knee shot
