[Verse 1]

Hear this beat and it takes me back to my younger days

When I could sleep in, I wasn't afraid of anything

Came a long way, never lookin' back

When I'm on a track, bet you I'ma run it to the max

Forgive the slang, didn't need a thing, runnin' downstairs

When the heard the doorbell ring, time to hang, ain't no change

Those were times when it was better, we thought we'd be there forever

Now we don't got no connections, and I'm down, I miss my brothers

Now they turnin' and I think they saw the wrong life

My friend in juvy and I wonder what his life like

Could be easy, but I'm thinkin' that shit difficult

Know we in the gang, guess that shit is typical

Never wanna fold, keep my circle close

I don't wanna be up in the game that's taken for a joke

So, that's when I'll stop- ten years, see how the time changes

Seein' the people I knew gon' hurt when I'm famous

[Chorus]

Nostalgia takin' me back, I'm gon' need all of the strats

So they put me on the map, nostalgia takin' me back

Because when I'm at the top, shit, they gon' see me and laugh

Nostalgia takin' me back, nostalgia takin' me back

Nostalgia takin' me back, I'm gon' need all of the strats

So they put me on the map, nostalgia takin' me back

Because when I'm at the top, shit, they gon' see me and laugh

Nostalgia takin' me back, nostalgia takin' me back

[Interlude]

Yeah, yeah, big stuff-

[Verse 2]

See, I got memories of a past long gone, yeah

Childhood while I wrote this song

Live a life like mine, best believe that shit happens

Runnin' Beyblade matches, I remember I was seven, that shit stuck with me

Now I write it down, it's inspiring my poetry

Maybe nostalgia work here for this, someday

I'm openin' that time, nothing that's in my way

[Chorus]

Nostalgia takin' me back, I'm gon' need all of the strats

So they put me on the map, nostalgia takin' me back

Because when I'm at the top, shit, they gon' see me and laugh

Nostalgia takin' me back, nostalgia takin' me back

Nostalgia takin' me back, I'm gon' need all of the strats

So they put me on the map, nostalgia takin' me back

Because when I'm at the top, shit, they gon' see me and laugh

Nostalgia takin' me back, nostalgia takin' me back
