Nostalgia
Lyrics
I remember when life was ever so simple
Never mind the cost you just pick what mama could get you
That street lights flicker the only thing on ya schedule
Only got angry when chicken nuggets wasn’t on the menu
Pops told me enjoy this long as you can
But all I desired was being grown becoming a man
Damn…..
I guess hindsight is 2020
If I could go back
I would’ve enjoyed everything I had
Don’t get me wrong
Life is good
But a deceitful grind
I guess I envy my younger self
And his peace of mind
Sometimes I wish I could hit pause on this needle
Return when life was more easy
For vacation to ease the time
But I guess growth is for the every
And I can always revisit that through my memories
More than I miss my old life
I miss that energy
I remember those moments
Hope they remember me
I wish I was a 30 years younger
I wish I was a youngsta
I wish I had no bills
And could chill through the summer
I wish I had my poster up of Shaq
Writing letters trying to get a girl’s number
I wish I was a 30 years younger
I wish I was a youngsta
I wish I had no bills
And could chill through the summer
I wish I had my poster up of Shaq
Writing letters trying to get a girl’s number
Now it’s mortgages, insurances, utilities
Office politics, gossiping in the ministry
The younger me said he’d stay pure awe silly me
The worlds on lucifers rhythm
And I ain’t skip a beat
They say that life takes toll on the soul
And real niggas never show it so no one knows
Wish I could speak to Alonzo, maybe Jerome
Wonder what they would say bout these stresses now that they gone.
I’m just working turning this house to a home
Dodging debt like the Matrix
And paying existing loans
Trying to plan for tomorrow
And finding how to atone
Parting with pagan systems
And building while on the low
Woah
Trust what the universe has meant for me
The past ain’t coming back, I gotta let it be
More than I miss my old life
I miss that energy
I remember those moments
Hope they remember me
I wish I was a 30 years younger
I wish I was a youngsta
I wish I had no bills
And could chill through the summer
I wish I had my poster up of Shaq
Writing letters trying to get a girl’s number
Nostalgia
I wish I was a 30 years younger
I wish I was a youngsta
I wish I had no bills
And could chill through the summer
I wish I had my poster up of Shaq
Writing letters trying to get a girl’s number
Damn
I remember when life was ever so simple
Never mind the cost you just pick what mama could get you
That street lights flicker the only thing on ya schedule
Only got angry when chicken nuggets wasn’t on the menu
