[Intro]
Ayo, close your eyes, man
Take a trip with me back to the days we ran
Streets full of innocence, dreams in our hands
Let me paint you a picture, where it all began
[Verse]
Yo, sneakers scuffed, chalk outlines on the pavement
Young kings on the block, no crowns but we made it
Trading baseball cards, Wu-Tang on the stereo
Back when the struggle ain't feel so heavy, though
Hands dipped in Kool-Aid, red like a badge
Running wild in the summer till the streetlights flashed
Mama yelling out the window, food getting cold
Life was so simple, pure gold in the soul
[Chorus]
Nostalgia got me trapped in the haze of the past
Wishing time froze, put a lock on that hourglass
Memories like Polaroids, fading too fast
But I embrace it—forever these moments will last
[Verse 2]
Gameboys buzzing, fourth-grade discussions
Legends born in recess, calls for repercussions
Cassettes rewinding like life had a track
Every mistake felt like there was no coming back
Cold winters with hot cocoa and cartoons
Saturday mornings shaped the rhythm of our tunes
Capri Suns in hand, running plans on the block
Future hunters back then with dreams in the dock
