Polish rapper Pat’s first ever single “Kodak” reminisces on old times. Using the idea of looking at Kodaks.
The song was written in a A Level RE Exam. Which Pat has said about on multiple occasions.
[Chorus]
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
[Verse 1]
Wishing we could go back
To the easier days
When we never had a worry
We were always okay
We never stressed about our jobs
Or how much we're getting paid
When we found shelter in our parents home, was our little cave
We felt so fearless, with not a care in the world
We never listened to nobody
Never did what we're told
Didn't believe it when they told us that this world could be cold
Man I remember back then I couldn't wait to be old (Wishing)
[Chorus]
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can-
[Verse 2]
I remember back then I felt nothing but love
I spent the days out getting bruises
Which were fixed with a hug
Them days when dad would take you pub
You'd watch him sipping a bud
Back when your mum would get you out when you were stuck in the mud
Just reminiscing to the days when we didn't have a dime
And all the stories that we heard
Started with "Once upon a time"
We were so sheltered and protected
Never heard about a crime
Knew all the people we admired from a story or a rhyme
Ah, man, and I'm just wishing we can go back
Its not easy man I know that
So I'm just flicking through this Kodak
Containing my emotion
Which I scribble on this notepad
Uh, and now I realise its not all bad
So I kick it back and just enjoy
This little throwback
And now I realise its not all bad
So I kick it back and just enjoy this little throwback
Uh, and now I realise its not all bad
So I kick it back and just enjoy this little throwback
[Chorus]
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
[Bridge]
(See) Now it's not the same
Because were busy pointing figures
Finding who's to blame
Singing
Ah, its not the same
Because this living back in time
Will send us all insane
(See) Now it's not the same
Because were busy pointing figures
Finding who's to blame
Singing
Ah, its not the same
Because this living back in time
Will send us all insane
[Chorus]
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
Singing, "can we go back?"
I’m flicking through the Kodak
Used to see the colour, now its all black
Wishing we could go back
I'm flicking through the Kodak
Seeing all the memories I'm wishing we can, wishing we can go back
