[Verse 1]
See me for the shit I am
And tell me what you think I wrote
I'm sorry for the trouble caused
Don't mean it to be difficult
I'm just young and fucking up
Think I fell into it fast
All my thoughts they run amok
When I think about the past
Almost broke down on the bus
We was out on UK tour
I kept in and closed it up
Don't need them to see me sore
Don't need them to fight my fights
Don't need them to judge my wars
Gutted when I reminiscence
All these sidewalks filled with gore
[Chorus x2]
Nowadays still think about it
Nowadays still think about you
[Verse 2]
Take your time and find your words
There's still plenty days to talk
Don't know what you think you heard
But I noticed something's off
Turn the lights on in the car
Sorry that this shit's a mess
These past weeks man they been hard
Haven't found no time to rest
Know you hate it when I stress
I get so mad when I stress
I should never raise my voice
But there's some things I can't help
Sorry that I couldn't help
Sorry that I couldn't see
Gutted when I reminisce
All this blood from you and me
[Chorus x2]
Nowadays still think about it
Nowadays still think about you
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
So fuck what they all say
I miss those brown hallways
With bad copied paintings
They bought at the mall
And i wish you'd still call me
When problems evolving
We used to speak nights
And hang up in the morning
Wrote raps in the backseat
If I had on earphones
It made me start rapping
You knew I was special from first conversations
I knew you would mean much
And be worth the waiting
Nowadays still think about it, yeah
