[Verse 1]

Since we reminiscing

Imma talk about the days i been missing

Cause it seems like my memories been hidden

But to me that situation is kinda forbidden

Looking back at it trynna retrace my steps but i be forgetting

You see, When i was in middle school

I was that lil fool

That played basketball

And left dudes lookin pediful

I use to cross em up like tic tac toe

I stopped that

I rap

Now i spit bars and people be like man that shit's dope

I was One of the quickest and fastest

I used to be late to my classes

For messin wit females and always grabbing on they asses

At the time

Puberty didn't hit me yet

Didn't know nothing about sex

So i watched porn to get me set

I ain't afraid to admit it

And i ain't kidding

I'd see a bomb ass honey

And i'd get hard while sitting

Hoping the teacher didn't make me stand up

Leavin the class with folder on my lap hoping he didn't make me put my hands up

​[Bridge]

Cause there's a lot of stuff that happens in yo life

That makes yo life Trife or bright, i'm just talking about mines to make the situation bright

To show y'all that everybody ain't perfect

In hopes that its worth it

Cause i'm expressing as i disperse it

I wrote about it in hopes that y'all went through the same

While i'm taking y'all through a trip straight down Memory Lane


[Hook]

Now, Let me take a trip down Memory Lane

Coming out of California


[x3]


[Verse 2]

I spit that real stuff for hip hop heads

While at the same time

I spit chill stuff that make people rock they heads

Cause this what i used to dream about doing

Even tho in middle school

Basketball was the thing i was pursuing

Cause back in the days me and my homies would meet up at lunchtime

Then gather up to see who got the best punchlines

But at the time

The best lines weren't mines

I used to always ask myself

Damn how the hell they write those rhymes

But now i know bro

Even when the beat is so slow

I kill tracks when i spit cold flows

In my Mojo

My rhymes be cold bro

But that's something you should already know tho

When i spit those flows

The temperature get cold slow

Cause the coldness is going against the heat i spit

I ain't looking for the dough right now

Cause respect is what i'm trynna get

The respect come from the artist spitting the flame

Cause most of these rappers nowadays is just going down the drain

​[Bridge]

Cause there's a lot of stuff that happens in yo life

That makes yo life Trife or bright, i'm just talking about mines to make the situation bright

To show y'all that everybody ain't perfect

In hopes that its worth it

Cause i'm expressing as i disperse it

I wrote about it in hopes that y'all went through the same

While i'm taking y'all through a trip straight down Memory Lane


[Hook]

Now, Let me take a trip down Memory Lane

Coming out of California

[Verse 3]

I used to hit up my boy Xavier after school

So we could go to the park

It might of been the afternoon but that's when our day start

Hitting up the gym everyday

Crossin up dudes every way

Leavin them dirty in a pedi way

Then pull up the KD way

And me and d'mon would ride bikes around town

Just to clown around

And would be inside before you heard those loud sounds

Probably sound like we was shook

We just wasn't trynna get our life took

Focusing on school

And getting in those books

Cause we was just young dudes trying

While everyone was dying

Calling on god at the time

But he wasn't replying

So we started hoping for the best

Proceeding Without a rest

Walking around without a vest

Wit No hopes of a bullet in our chest

Played video games to get away from the life i live

I talk about it

Cause life lessons is what i'm trynna give

Cause there's some things i been through

Hung around too many fake friends

That's why i got bad trust issues

And My dad was never there to teach me how to become a man

Damn

I guess we know why he wasn't there man

Cause he wasn't even one

Leaving your kid for his whole life

And come back once

But i guess that's how you treat your son

Too many lies to be told i don't even know if any of this shit is true

I'm not gonna loose my mind cause my mind is set on what im trynna do

And I don't care, cause Imma still keep on flowing

Quarterback of my life so best believe just keep on throwing

I'm putting it out there in case y'all don't be knowing

And If you start doubting your life

Just push yourself and keep on going

Cause It might not seem like it but everything happens for a reason

So make sure your limits is high and just keep dreaming

Don't think about the negative just become a better person

Cause if not

Then yo mind state just gone worsen

I gave y'all some motivation

And y'all just learned a bit about me

I'm talking about this stuff to just keep y'all g

Cause i'm swarming wit my team like a bee

Not for the money cause my writes are free

I'm rapping like this to get y'all to see

That my story gone stay the same

Through the money and the fame

As we just took a trip straight down memory lane
