Memory Lane

I don’t want to grow up
But I’m grown already
You gotta live yo life
Live it slow and so steady
Don’t you grow up to fast
Don’t you grow up to fast
I don’t want to grow up
But I’m grown already
You gotta live yo life
Live it slow and so steady
Don’t you grow up to fast
Don’t you grow up to fast
Cause
(Verse 1 — Wes Lee The Wordsmith)
I don’t want to pay no bills
Duck mouths ain’t my preferred currency
Currently I’m just reminiscing
Back when I couldn’t tie my shoes
Tripping down memory lane
Culdesac keep me revolving round my circle like I’m in orbit
Me and my girl shit on the game while holding hands like we in norbit
Simple days
Sun shine
Dark nights
I see street lights
I park my ride
I go inside
My mama ain’t nice
I remember times like this
Reflecting on my past
Good times don’t always last
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
I remember times like this
Reflecting on my past
Good times don’t always last
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
(Verse 2 — Xiamara Jennings)
I hear the soft melodies of the trees breeze
And that’s all I need to bring me peace
These days you gotta soak up the moment
Cause you never know when it could be the end
So I lead with love & understanding
Then we’ll always have a connection
The best parts of you, i’m a reflection
That’s how I’ll live my moments
These memories
Playback for me
Like it’s a dream
Make it reality
(Verse 3 — Wes Lee The Wordsmith)
Swear I got a foreign soul
Rocking K-Swiss and overalls
Playing 2k in the streets
Tryna up my overall
Cartoons what I really loved over all
I loved the colors and aesthetics
I love how my action figures had taught me their life lessons
Yeah Ima student to the game, got controllers in my notebook
GTA taught me literary devices — even cheat codes
Writing acronyms before we knew that we would need those
I couldn’t really swim, so In the water I would sink like free throws
Been number one since I was Cinco
Been coding language since IG was Bebo
I’m an engineer now
Wordsmith
(Bridge — Xiamara Jennings)
When I think
When I think about it
I can’t help but smile
When I think about it
Reminiscing on it
Look how time goes
Look how time goes
You gotta live your life
Live slow and so steady
I remember times like this
Reflecting on my past
Good times don’t always last
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
I remember times like this
Reflecting on my past
Good times don’t always last
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
Let’s take this trip down memory lane
