welcome to nostalgia.
I don't know where I'mma be, but I'm here right now
Wrote my first album to see, if I'll feel free somehow
Memories running out, need my space right now
The Art of Nostalgia, that's what I'm talking about
So many things changed in a year, I don't talk out loud
Instead I keep it all to myself
'Cause you know how they are, listen from one ear and out the other
I'm one of one, ain't like no other
Had to start writing 'cause I had some troubles
Maintaining my mental health, I would put up a front
Tucked my feelings in my bed, locked the door then I'd run
Wish to smoke the pain away just to keep it a blunt
Could've easily went the wrong way, I'm glad I didn't
Though, I'm living in a fake world, I've been in isolation
Blinded by diamonds and girls, I'm maintaining my patience
Lost in my feelings, need to find a way to release 'em
Paintin' my portrait, I'll see you when I'm done
Uh
I found music through the pain, it became part of me
Without it, I'd be insane
Lame ass bitches think I'm doing this for fame
It's a shame
Jealously might get you killed, Abel and Cain (Cain, Cain, Cain, Cain)
The Art of Nostalgia
Welcome to my mind, these thoughts I've never told ya
Mentally in denial, I still need some closure
I wanted to be free, but I'm only getting older
No helping hands, surrounded by cold shoulders
Swimming in Circles, kept my head above the water
Words mean so much to me, read me carefully 'til it's over
Shout out to my friends
You know who you are
Always keeping me close
I'm not open at all
Shout out to my ex's, the memories I've forgotten
Thank you for all the lessons, thank the lord for the blessings
It was a scary space, the place that I was stuck in
I had to rise up like a rose, I was destined
Thank you for your time, thank you for even listening
The Art of Nostalgia
Yeah
Wrote my first album to see, if I'll feel free somehow
