[Intro]
Let's go back, let's go
[Chorus](x2)
Remember them old days back then?
Remember the smiles, remember the pain, same damn thang
Remember those days back when?
Remember the love, remember the hate, same damn thang
[Verse 1]
The feeling is such a rush now, movement is centrifugal, all around
Never limitin' range of my pa**ion, or fall down
We kick the raw sounds, yeah the lyrics are rare
If you don't care for a kick and a snare, you get a pair
Of these big nuts, kiss em, still the rhythm is there
We take it back, where we chill on the stairs
The night air blows, and all you hear is beat boxin', unique toxins
Intoxicatin' my cadence, rock 'em
When fame wasn't famous, and shame was a problem
We came with the pain of our fathers
The pain of our moms in our sonnets
For some, neither one to be honest
So pain came from they ain't have a lot, then
Instead of other options, like sellin' on the block
We chose another road, now we're settled at the top
And I know you think I mean I got a monetary crop
But the money ain't the meaning of success, try to follow me
[Chorus](x2)
Remember them old days back then?
Remember the smiles, remember the pain, same damn thang
Remember those days back when?
Remember the love, remember the hate, same damn thang
[Verse 2]
As I try to paint a brighter picture with this dark ink
Thinkin' bout our past, all the struggles that would spark dreams
Livin' a fantasy thats reality, happy to be breathin'
In this smoke-filled battlefield, hope k**s, really
Never gave up my goals, drivin' my ambition up the road
The transmission is old, but it goes
Remember flows, lyricism was gold
Platinum was just a metal, we never would peddle dope
In the streets maybe, but we were tryin' leave the weak 80's
Where crack ruled, birthin' weak babies
So we escaped through the rhythm, like poetry was a broken lock
And projects were a cell, the bars were the broken blocks
Graffiti walls, were pages inside a diary
Obituary rainbows, juxtaposed to dying themes
As time pa**es the season reaches December, when it's coldest
We just hold onto those moments, do remember
[Chorus](x2)
Remember them old days back then?
Remember the smiles, remember the pain, same damn thang
Remember those days back when?
Remember the love, remember the hate, same damn thang
