How It Was

Memories
Memories keep me off that ledge
Memories
Memories of what we lost back when
Tendency
To do anything
Without a thought in my head
But the memories
Memories
Of how it was back then

Wear my heart on my sleeve
I think it's part of my genes
I want someone to stay
But way too often they leave
The homie died last night and I'm here writing art for relief
Man life is complicated take it from me
I seen it all with just these optics here
I'm hustling cause I never had an option near
Taking like an auctioneer
Blinded by the fog of fear
Couldn't find a dollar here
Tons of guns and moving drugs
Collecting funds is all I hear
I couldn't give you love if I tried
Got way too many problems that I'm holding inside
Open your eyes and see the truth love
Ain't no such thing as true love
Guess that means you got a lot to prove love
I've been waiting patient by my bed side
Guess I
Got a lot to do to reach the next high Next time
Nah there ain't no next time
Learned to just accept mistakes I made
And hold my head high
Ima live forever in this music doll
Use it all for therapy to sooth your soul
I know you want serenity
All your failed attempts could be a drag
But it's worse to give it up
And wonder what you could've had
Huh

Memories
Memories keep me off that ledge
Memories
Memories of what we lost back when
Tendency
To do anything without a thought in my head
But the memories
Memories
Of how it was back then

Self-love
Self-love is the only form of true love
True love
There ain't nothing else to prove love
I give love
With my heart on my sleeve
Unconditionally
Can't trip if they stay or leave
Seasonally
Learned my lessons from the things that I've seen
From the losses that I've taken humbly
Failing forward till the day I succeed
Listen
It's timing baby
It's all happens for us not to us baby
And if the memories that I supplied
Keep you high
Hold them dear forever so they get you by
And while you're chasing the dream
Faith in all the unseen
Don't forget my love and just how much you mean to me
And while you live on the edge
Tempted by every ledge
May each memory with me keep you from losing your head

Memories
Memories keep me off that ledge
Memories
Memories of what we lost back when
Tendency
To do anything
Without a thought in my head
But the memories
Memories
Of how it was back then
