Memories Never Die

[Verse 1]
First Field Mob break up, now every day I wake up
Feel the pressure coming down on me
Know I wrote a thousand rhymes, somethin' like a thousand times
I promise I got it, just put it all on Steve
We ratchet and righteous, no, I ain’t forgot it
How shawties would want me, ignoring all of my mileage
We were losing our homies, we were dropping out college
We were losing our way, just hoping that we could find it but look
This that Holy Bible in a Gucci bag
Word to Soulo Ho, might catch the holy coach
Looking for my father, wonder where he at
Still pray I never see you down, boy, that's a Holy Ghost
Run it back, biking to the park or to the corner store
J&J, Mama hit the grind and got us out the hood
Where we at? Home of Ray Charles' mama and dreams
From the minors to the show, homie, welcome to the league

[Chorus]
People love, people lie
Grab the wheel, take a ride
It’s you and yours, it's me and mine
The memories, they never die
No straight line and it's okay
'Cause you gon' find that they might fade, but
The memories, they never die, the memories, they never die

[Verse 2]
I lost my voice, still I'm the voice of the city
I got it back, I'm a national treasure and God sent me
It's God-written, I’ve been scribed in hieroglyphics
My mind busy, the stressing, I clip it like Doc Rivers
Gotta practice patience
Youngins looking at me, I been grabbing spaceships
Usher in my partners like we trading places
We don’t forget the basics
Had to fix the vision like I went and got Lasik
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who the fairest of 'em all?
Who ain’t never hit a lick, who ain't had that karma call?
Who ain't try to study Big? Who ain't try to study Nas?
Who ain’t try to study Jay in hopes that I would never fall?
Yeah, aspire to inspire
Chasing all my desires, follow me through the fire
Swimming through troubled waters, do away with my idols
Hoping we never grow up, still repeating the cycle

[Chorus]
People love, people lie
Grab the wheel, take a ride
It's you and yours, it's me and mine
The memories, they never die
No straight line and it's okay
'Cause you gon' find that they might fade, but
The memories, they never die, the memories, they never die
