Nostalgia

I've been running around chasin things
My fears stick close like they're tapered to me
I'm gonna succeed in manifesting
A life where my loved ones beat this beast
My dream is cast like it's 2003
Break the walls finally reach the sea
And I'll splash my feet before I dive in deep
But return to the beat cause this life ain't cheap
Reminded everyday of the people that I hurt
Look em in the mirror wanna cover up with dirt
Want to take on life but can't measure up the work
Quiet meditation is my self made church
Found the door and I rushed it like a small pup
My spirits on the rise and I'm never giving up
Won't forget the healing back then I was stuck
If I want to stay safe my emotions gotta tuck
Not for me to hide or fight against the feeling
Just when I'm in this shit now it doesn't hit the ceiling
Make no mistake the pain still get me reeling
But can bounce back harder than Kyrie dribbling
Mom chill, I won't starve
Dad relax, I got bars
I'm no saint, I got scars
Can hold my own, ready to spar
Got a fast break I'm ahead of the pack
I pulled up from deep and it's nothing but net
Cheers with the team yeah I hit the last shot
Didn't hesitate to take it now look at what I got
A life full of smiles and all this laughter
A little piece of love I could never capture
I tore through the anguish like a grand rapture
Everything I ever needed couldn't ask for more

I want to know if
We can go back to
Back to the days when
We used to sit and play
And fly
To get by
I want to know if
We can go back to
Back to the days when
We used to sit and play
And fly
To get by

Saturday mornings with the game cube
Close my eyes hear the hum from the Ray Tube
And the warmth comin in from the skylight above
Got me feelin like I'm back in the day dude
Moms downstairs and she's watering the plants
Dad's in the office and he isn't wearing pants
Me and my brother got the summer to make plans
And it's the days like these that I hope will never end
Things was just simpler back in the day
Didn't have a single trouble here stand in my way
Burning through our time while just focused on today
Not thinking bout tomorrow it was miles away
Then those miles caught up and be weighing on me now
And the sun that I laid in gone behind the clouds
And the friends that I played with lost into the crowd
Somewhere along the line I stopped makin mama proud
Damn, that's hard to admit
But it's been praying on my mind at it's time that it quit
Got to get my mind right before I'm stuck in the shit
Feelin like I'm feelin gonna be how it ends
Oh no
Don't know about you
But I've got to keep trying till I finally breakthrough
Got my family here behind me you know how we do
I got the feelin that we gonna see the end too true

I want to know if
We can go back to
Back to the days when
We used to sit and play
And fly
To get by
I want to know if
We can go back to
Back to the days when
We used to sit and play
And fly
To get by
Take it back
Take it back
