Untouchables by El Sancho (ontario) Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I remember when I never got held up
The world used to be my oyster but nowadays I’m shell-shucked
It’s harder and harder to be forgiven
You’re either carvin’ a livin’ or starving in prison
Is it any wonder why we get plenty drunk and high?
It’s just the reason some say they’re too young to die
It’s funny cause it’s true till you lose your way
I look back on the era where I used to say
I wish we could stay in this life forever
When we all link up, it’s like whatever
Step into the club faded, pick fights together
When will we leave it all behind? Likely never
Even if somebody drowns walking a desert road
We’ll keep living through the greatest stories ever told
And I will never fold in a tight situation
Especially if 9 to 5 life’s what I’m facing
Some of the time I can’t play games
But in a lot of ways, ain’t a damn thing changed
Why can’t they have stayed exactly the way they was?
Why should I care if my status ain’t raising up?
We used to blaze it up, get caught, and bail regardless
Nowadays, no way we won’t catch charges
These days are garbage compared to then
These changed are hard but I ain’t scared of them
(Chorus) x2
Remember a day when you used to be free
I’m looking back at it and I’m wishing I was me
If I could be, I would go there in a heartbeat
Right back to when we were untouchables
(Verse 2)
It was like that y’all – now it’s like this
But unlike that, this is nothing like bliss
Used to be hopeful but found a new stance
I can count how many people I trust on two hands
Too many homies are phonies, fucking you over
One knife in your back, another stuck in your shoulder
It ain’t like I gotta keep a gun tucked in a holster
Or leave a close call by the luck of a clover
But it’s, intense how we get so incensed
At people going against us for the goals we intend
It’s enough to make you wanna repress memories
To a time when laughter was the best remedy
Everything was a big joke, even if it wasn’t
One toke and a beer would get you straight buzzin’
Cause it was hard to find not knowing no connects
So relief and intoxication were in full effect
It wasn’t all good, just mostly
I hold them days two ways – in high regard and closely
In front of me so I can ward off cynicism
But even if I lose, I’ll keep ‘em in a vision
I’ll always be what I used to be
To remember I can always cut loose and free
From society, smashing the gates with bulldozers
When I arrive back in the day, I’ll pull over
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
We all gotta move forward but it doesn’t mean
To forget about the past as if it was just a dream
Keep it close to you but don’t let it become you
Coming of age is something you may not want to undo
Sun Tzu ain’t got nothing on this
The past versus the future – fist for fist, bow for bow
Kick for kick, blow for blow, this is it, the show of shows
I called it a draw, before either could get disfigured
Sold it to pay-per-view to get rich quicker
This is my life till I get to the end
When I reminisce over then, my God
(Chorus)
I remember when I never got held up
The world used to be my oyster but nowadays I’m shell-shucked
