Memory Lane by Arizona Akin Lyrics
I aspire to be
What's inspiring me
I been working since this world done put this fire in me
But as far as I can see
This is all just a dream
The lady that I'm loving tired of talking to me
The American Dream not what you thought it would be
So now we out in these streets
Happens often but we
Don't want to think about what take our minds off of TV
So I say to all the younger mes still lost in the streets
You ain't lost boy
You still on the journey
Think you're going crazy these are lessons you're learning
I was right there
Right where you're sitting
Thinkin bout the same shit
Like how I'm gon get it
Seem like nobody get it
Seem like nobody get you
I tell you what bruh they don't
They ain't like you
They don't understand
It's weird that thats a liberating though
When I was in the trap I wasn't entertained with God
And a rillo what I'm smoking derailing my train of thought
Boy you got a brain or nah?
Baby just take it raw
Making them bad decisions
We diligent breaking laws
They was saying "Akin take a different road!"
I didn't do a damn thing different though
If I could do it all one more time
I wouldn't do a damn thing different though
Doing what I knew and thought I was losing my mind
Been ready to die and ain't minding doing some time
I was part of something bigger all I ever knew was grind
All I want a double cup a couple dollars on the side
They was saying "Akin take a different road!"
I didn't do a damn thing different though
If I could do it all one more time
I wouldn't do a damn thing different though
We was in the back room working the phone
Steven on the digit scale Rae she just roll
That was my family
Now they all gone
I couldn't explain how strongly I feel alone
It'll never be the same again
So now I put my faith in famous men
Tellin me they famous just to step away
Standing here at heaven's gates
Thinking what the hell to say
Seven days
Better pay the plug
My heart full of darkness
My lady made of love
The money my native tongue
Playing we break em up
The reality of Memphis boy I couldn't make it up
We was all real young
Running a fucking drug den
Met a couple people
Coincidentally plugged in
Phone start to buzz then
"Let me get a dub,"
"Ten,"
Love it when the blunt lit
Watching out in public
Fucking with the pockets
Give my steel toe a tongue kiss
They was saying "Akin take a different road!"
I didn't do a damn thing different though
If I could do it all one more time
I wouldn't do a damn thing different though
What's inspiring me
I been working since this world done put this fire in me
But as far as I can see
This is all just a dream
The lady that I'm loving tired of talking to me
