[Verse 1]: Haunted by the voices, taunted by the choices Haunted by the poison but I'm on it never moistened High off the wet, fly from the jet fumes Sky never met dude, outta my mind Only time I felt fine is when I vibe with The guy from the Neptunes, my pH balance is real No secret, mainstream says we hate talent and sk**s So how the hell I capture this deal? I happen to feel kinda down about sh** How would people feel if they found out about this Round of depression f** I been down for a second 60, minute, get me? Which s**s cause I really wanna smile Spirit of the city as a child... now that's wild The city never sleeps right? So what the hell do I do each night? Stay up and remember [Hook]: (All those pretty memories) All I can do is remember Never far from the truth I remember To make the future feel better Oxymoron like the future will never Every second can move you close to the future So the future is forever, remember.. remember [Verse 2]: I remember sleeping on the phone while speaking to Nakeia And I wasn't beating it either Did a mixtape I told her to roast me Not OD and greet me with the ether I look back and think maybe she was telling the truth I was her s**er, her personal irrelevant fool Some messages never get through Until you let loose and just rest in the blues First time I held a gun I felt like a greedy king Real bullets man I was not a bb king But I had the blues I was in a jam Literally co*ked back and the trigger jammed Karma saw it and hit me with a bigger blam Success, now I'm that n***a man Go figure damn, even the river ran When I planned on how I can be a different man Cuz it knew that the flow was gonna black The river runs blue and its over for that Nothings bluer than the spikes hanging over my back Build my own walls, hopping over and back Bumping the pink lavalamp while im drinking a latte **Love is a gope I write what I do not say But I remember how hard it was For Charles to love having Charles' buzz Thanks to all the d**, the broads I f**ed The so called thugs that robbed and mugged me Autumn is lovely, especially with all this bubbly Awesome they all just love me! I think as my face scans the crowd I shake hands and bow Waiting for the hate from a man in the crowd Either he doesn't get it, must have missed it or is just a hater s** a dizzick, I tell 'em mind they f**ing business I just sleep but I don't sleep I just remembered [Hook]
