Memory Lane

Let’s take a trip down Memory Lane Embrace the inevitable pain in the back of my brain Been in shackles and chains, I was tryna tackle the game Now I just got this paranoia that I gotta replay Can it honestly wait No ‘cause I can’t harbor insane thoughts plainly anymore This is what my odyssey made My great quest for satisfaction is at stake I can’t let these implanted thoughts get in my way So I remember being a young child All I needed was an out-of-tune guitar to get me wild Everything had to be perfect Or it just wasn’t worth it My work turned into long, long hours of writin’ words that I don’t even understand myself I can’t comprehend all the power, influence, and the money up in my hand But money’s what people covet And coveting’s how we sin What I’m doin’ must be bad, negative is who I am Let’s take a trip down the Memory Lane And re-watch the same stuff that I never overcame And I’m still strugglin’ today with over-analyzation So don’t you dare tell me you don’t understand what I’m facin’ ‘Cause people cheated and lied One too many times Wish I could dissect the distrust I hold inside My heart’s frozen cold My legs broken and swollen My knees are bloody and torn My face is muddy and old I gotta motto, I don’t give up, I don’t die No matter how many times you hit me I won’t cry My time is still limited I gotta get my minutes in I gotta snatch the dividend Go fast and don’t get intimate But now I’ve gotten into it The plan has gotten intricate And now I’ve begun sensin’ that My options became infinite Now everybody listenin’ Depictin’ all these images I’m pushin’ till the bitter end My life is just not simple, man We gonna take a trip down Memory Lane And remember the fame The kind that I never became But I wanted it, I wanted respect and a name I didn’t care if people liked me, didn’t care ‘bout the pay So that’s why I run up and down the street pantin’ That’s why I sit in my room for hours rappin’ and rantin’ I want the clappin’ and chantin’ for or against me I want something that’s gone get the masses standin’ on their feet And I apologize for my anger and bitterness I never was one to keep a grudge to hold against But my fist just holed this fence ‘cause I’m still mad at some humans And the lyrics used to help so I’m back writin’ this music
