Even though the road has been long A lot of friends all gone I still remember the way it used to be 2x
Looking back at my younger days, I stayed away Got my ways in a better pace Nowadays I'm playin' it free and got a son and facing better ways Embracing wit' a same passion that my mom displayed
She made me focus on the sun thru the rainy days Always suported till the day she passed away I pray she's resting in peace Knowin' that we're proceeding Navigating, appreciating what we're achieving I'm conceiving Future stategies, by receiving memories from the past That remind of sober weavin' Time speeding, so I decide tag along Just a quick reminisce and then I carry on
chorus
The younger days, ya saw to leave 'em all behind Even though carry on, is the sign of the time Are strong yo, the past could be ya kick for the mind So ya sit back, relax, reminiscing and rewind
The younger days, ya saw to leave 'em all behind Even though carry on is a sign of the time Are strong yo, the past could be ya kick for the mind So sit back, relax, reminiscing and rewind
It only takes "what's up" from Bob to get me started with the back-door's thought And often see things that I could not see Back then ooo my costs are like any when you don't think about getting no job
Accumulated, suburbian situated But in my mind never captivated Me and my brothers, born kids like us to parents As dishwashers, night cleaners, fruit sellers Law schemers, cab drivers, etcetera
When I was young a I wanted to be a diver Became a navigator Nah, I was stealing things, selling things, negotiator
One day my brother took me out to the jams That's where I met my savior Hip hop would later got me out of the crimes Into the rhymes, amoung many grovin' MC's The mid 80's, people would supply ladies Our quality times, quality times
chorus
The younger days, ya saw to leave 'em all behind Even though carry on, is the sign of the time Are strong yo, the past could be ya kick for the mind So ya sit back, relax, reminiscing and rewind
The younger days, ya saw to leave 'em all behind Even though carry on is a sign of the time Are strong yo, the past could be ya kick for the mind So sit back, relax, reminiscing and rewind
