Rememberies

[Intro: Napoleon Hill]
"I ask not, O Divine Providence, for more riches, but more wisdom with which to accept and use wisely the riches I received at birth in the form of the power to control and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire."

[Verse 1]
Flashbacks to matchbox cars on tracks that's orange
If that toy is not yours, you better back up off it
I stack up the cards, but won't trade a thick glossy
Never knew how to play 'em, but would save 'em so cautiously
I knew what it cost me to hit the arcade and play for hours
I return home when dinner was made
I'd eat and spend the rest of the night jumping on Bowser
Or ducking a shell and raising hell and throwing fire from flowers
My mother had the best power of making him get off it
Older brother would hog the controller and never pause it
Running like leaky faucets, I'm Sonic looking for Tails
Making these women strip like a comic, but not for sale
Ironic, those same girls would play with the boys
'Til they discovered our weakness, now they stick us for coins
Their only purpose was to play games like a Nintendo did
My game is over so I always will remember this

[Hook]
I will always remember this
I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent
Cause I will always remember this
I will, I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent

[Verse 2]
Went from Saturday cartoons to sitting on barstools
From napping on carpets to getting through art school
It's like, when did we grow up? I swear it was yesterday
I was wearing [?] without a dollar or debt to pay
Hitting the skating rink to talk to girls all night
But just be careful not to fall in front of the one that you like
But if you did, you played it off like you were break dancing for all us
We clowning like a circus in a tent down in New Orleans
But regardless, be fond of all the memories that you have
Hope you remember me from your past and all of the memories that we have
Time just has a way of slipping by so fast
One day you have it, then the next it's falling out of your grasp
I'm hoping we can catch up to reminisce on incidents
Mistakes we made, detention slips and all those other mess-ups
It's not a question, you will always be my friend and shit
Never forgot you and I always will remember this

[Hook]
I will always remember this
I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent
Cause I will always remember this
I will, I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent

[Verse 3]
It's like I'm in my second childhood
From how good it's gotten, it leaves me wondering just how could
Life could flip the script, it was biting me back, I'm Mike Vic
But now I'm nibbling ears, I'm more like Tyson with my mic shit
Man, I was in a hairy situation
And while it opened up like coconuts, I was faced with desperation
And every day I try to let it breathe like resparation
But it wouldn't let it rest until I seen the emancipation
New Orlean's man's patience was wearing thin, I was pacing
I felt the dread, but wouldn't let it lock in like Jamaicans
I turned to Blaque Keyz and made every lock my acquaintance
Now I'm rapping overseas, bringing lyrics to different nations
With no denomination, I was telling everybody
That I'mma be a rapper and just look who I embodied
But thanks to my childhood, you always will remember this
Fine young man, steady practicing on his penmanship

[Hook]
I will always remember this
I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent
Cause I will always remember this
I will, I will, I will always remember this
I will always remember this
Let's take it back to the days when we were innocent
