Memory Lane by Vanityz Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Since we reminiscing
Imma talk about the days i been missing
Cause it seems like my memories been hidden
But to me that situation is kinda forbidden
Looking back at it trynna retrace my steps but i be forgetting
You see, When i was in middle school
I was that lil fool
That played basketball
And left dudes lookin pediful
I use to cross em up like tic tac toe
I stopped that
I rap
Now i spit bars and people be like man that shit's dope
I was One of the quickest and fastest
I used to be late to my classes
For messin wit females and always grabbing on they asses
At the time
Puberty didn't hit me yet
Didn't know nothing about sex
So i watched porn to get me set
I ain't afraid to admit it
And i ain't kidding
I'd see a bomb ass honey
And i'd get hard while sitting
Hoping the teacher didn't make me stand up
Leavin the class with folder on my lap hoping he didn't make me put my hands up
[Bridge]
Cause there's a lot of stuff that happens in yo life
That makes yo life Trife or bright, i'm just talking about mines to make the situation bright
To show y'all that everybody ain't perfect
In hopes that its worth it
Cause i'm expressing as i disperse it
I wrote about it in hopes that y'all went through the same
While i'm taking y'all through a trip straight down Memory Lane
[Hook]
Now, Let me take a trip down Memory Lane
Coming out of California
[x3]
[Verse 2]
I spit that real stuff for hip hop heads
While at the same time
I spit chill stuff that make people rock they heads
Cause this what i used to dream about doing
Even tho in middle school
Basketball was the thing i was pursuing
Cause back in the days me and my homies would meet up at lunchtime
Then gather up to see who got the best punchlines
But at the time
The best lines weren't mines
I used to always ask myself
Damn how the hell they write those rhymes
But now i know bro
Even when the beat is so slow
I kill tracks when i spit cold flows
In my Mojo
My rhymes be cold bro
But that's something you should already know tho
When i spit those flows
The temperature get cold slow
Cause the coldness is going against the heat i spit
I ain't looking for the dough right now
Cause respect is what i'm trynna get
The respect come from the artist spitting the flame
Cause most of these rappers nowadays is just going down the drain
[Bridge]
Cause there's a lot of stuff that happens in yo life
That makes yo life Trife or bright, i'm just talking about mines to make the situation bright
To show y'all that everybody ain't perfect
In hopes that its worth it
Cause i'm expressing as i disperse it
I wrote about it in hopes that y'all went through the same
While i'm taking y'all through a trip straight down Memory Lane
[Hook]
Now, Let me take a trip down Memory Lane
Coming out of California
[x3]
[Verse 3]
I used to hit up my boy Xavier after school
So we could go to the park
It might of been the afternoon but that's when our day start
Hitting up the gym everyday
Crossin up dudes every way
Leavin them dirty in a pedi way
Then pull up the KD way
And me and d'mon would ride bikes around town
Just to clown around
And would be inside before you heard those loud sounds
Probably sound like we was shook
We just wasn't trynna get our life took
Focusing on school
And getting in those books
Cause we was just young dudes trying
While everyone was dying
Calling on god at the time
But he wasn't replying
So we started hoping for the best
Proceeding Without a rest
Walking around without a vest
Wit No hopes of a bullet in our chest
Played video games to get away from the life i live
I talk about it
Cause life lessons is what i'm trynna give
Cause there's some things i been through
Hung around too many fake friends
That's why i got bad trust issues
And My dad was never there to teach me how to become a man
Damn
I guess we know why he wasn't there man
Cause he wasn't even one
Leaving your kid for his whole life
And come back once
But i guess that's how you treat your son
Too many lies to be told i don't even know if any of this shit is true
I'm not gonna loose my mind cause my mind is set on what im trynna do
And I don't care, cause Imma still keep on flowing
Quarterback of my life so best believe just keep on throwing
I'm putting it out there in case y'all don't be knowing
And If you start doubting your life
Just push yourself and keep on going
Cause It might not seem like it but everything happens for a reason
So make sure your limits is high and just keep dreaming
Don't think about the negative just become a better person
Cause if not
Then yo mind state just gone worsen
I gave y'all some motivation
And y'all just learned a bit about me
I'm talking about this stuff to just keep y'all g
Cause i'm swarming wit my team like a bee
Not for the money cause my writes are free
I'm rapping like this to get y'all to see
That my story gone stay the same
Through the money and the fame
As we just took a trip straight down memory lane
Since we reminiscing
Imma talk about the days i been missing
Cause it seems like my memories been hidden
But to me that situation is kinda forbidden
Looking back at it trynna retrace my steps but i be forgetting
