lirik lagu memories & kodaks – zi

[verse 1: zi]
memories of past christmases
everything was simple then we didn’t know much
reminiscing young and innocent my soul was
but i was hyperactive and couldn’t wait to grow up
and life circ-mstances never told me hold up
skipping cl-ss sh-t my father would’ve whooped my -ss
he had me doing more that just show up
had a special way to show love
but you know what
i guess that’s the reason why we’re so tough
zi the warrior ’cause i was raised like a soldier
they used to say you’ll understand when you get older
but sh-t i understood why the screaming got louder
would’ve done anything i could ’cause all we needed was a few thousand
and ’til this day i still feel ashamed and wrong
for acting spoiled when the dough was too low
had my mother ready to get a loan ’cause i was begging for some new clothes

[chorus: zi]
go back wanna go back
we grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back
we’re talking ’bout the past memories and kodaks
believe me little man you don’t wanna grow up so fast
go back wanna go back
we grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back
we’re talking ’bout the past memories and kodaks
believe me little man you don’t wanna grow up so fast

[verse 2: zi]
no play station at the crib in the dirt we played
and when it got cold you’d be watching tv the whole f-cking day
listening to music i was in a perfect place
with all these rappers i was always trying to impersonate
not yet a man but i had to learn to play
the mother and the father when they were working late
and when you wouldn’t listen you would go to bed with no dessert but hey
misbehave you deserve the pain
nowadays i hear kids saying sh-t i would’ve never had the nerve to say
a young babysitter
10 years old i’m not a chef but i’m cooking dinner
taking care of my brother and my sisters
and what a h-ll of a mission
going crazy ’cause i couldn’t get them to listen
struggling to put one to bed while the other 2 are fighting in the kitchen

[verse 3: zi]
i used to hang out in the halls even though i can’t stay
i used to play ball even though i can’t play
and every year we’d learn a new walk and a new handshake
that’s also when you start letting your pants hang
and i ain’t talking ’bout the slang
sh-t was changing everyday
taking words from every place
from north to south east to west africa and the states
we looked up to the drug dealers and the thugs
so we started acting stupid stealing selling stuff
quickly had bad feelings sh-t just wasn’t in my blood
so i tried to find another way to make a buck
to all the kids listening your elders are hard on you for a reason
so show respect to your parents and your teachers
and live your childhood to the fullest growing up ain’t easy
please believe me

- zi
