Old Memories Haunting Me –

V.1
Lost in translation – Lost in my thoughts –
Conversations with Ghosts – They the ones that haunt –
Me with my past – See it flash before my eyes –
And I’m arm wrestling with the hands of time –
I’m at the back of the line – Yeah I put myself here –
No crying over spilt milk – blood’s mixed with my tears –
Mistakes added up – Such an evil equation –
Polluted solutions memories driving me crazy –
Used to dream of Mercedes – Gold Rolex Watches –
Now I’m forced to watch my dream shatter –
Wish time’d stop and –
Rewind A Little Bit –
Maybe Back To Ninety Nine –
Remembering the sombering realities that define –
My life today – is my life a waste?
It was yesterday – can I make that change?
If I can then I will, or will I pop more pills in a frenzy –
Stuck with bad decisions – Can’t escape Old Memories - No

Walk in my shoes to see what I’ve been through –
Converse with these Converse – Talk to my tattoos –
Maybe then you’ll understand, again, maybe you won’t –
See them streets y’all scared of? Well that’s what taught –
Me everything that I know – So Many Memories –
Hard to live in the present when I’m fighting my history –
Blistering to my mind state – guilt from all I did –
From putting pistols to peoples temples
To putting my own kids lives in danger – yeah
Total Strangers in my house –
Safety Security – Obsolete – Guns lying around –
Similar to crack houses – can never forget it –
It’s not just the memories – Can’t forgive myself for it –

I’m condemned to shame – Pain’s my sentence –
No possibility of parole – I can’t rinse it off –
Filthiness – Stained – Scars remind me –
Don’t matter what I do – can’t rid myself of old memories – NO

As I go through these books of forgotten hieroglyphics
Each with a different story of the things that I've been in
Life's struggle and hustle
Things that only brought trouble -
Good thing I changed my ways and I got myself out -
There's no more being trapped - There's no more losing the fight
With all these lyrics that's scribbled with a reflection of light -

Winter's going and the leaves are turning green -
RIP to Nick, Bird, and my homie Patrick Lee
Experience is knowledge and knowledge is key -
to build the type of future that you wanna see -
So use what you learned from those old memories
and maybe one day, all the leaves will finally turn grreen

They say history repeats itself - I try not to live in the past
But those memories remind me, some things just don't last -
So if your lifestyle's too fast - you can trust it'll catch up -
Just a matter of time - until it all erupts
