Stolen Memories

I'm on my way, on the highway/

To a special place, it never rains, with better terrain/

And by the way I'll say good bye game/

But you cannot come with me somebody's got to stay/

So I'ma see you on my next life/

I might get it right, I might not/

Sweat it not, I love you lots/

So raise a glass to our friendship/

We had a lot of laughes, a lot of scraps you had my back through all of it/

It's a tough pill to swallow kid/

When you don't know if you'll see tomorrow/

Did you see me on the TV yesterday, yesterday/

Before I had to leave my life and throw it all away/

Throw my love in the bay, I'm moving again/

A sharp angst hill when this thing takes ill/

So keep building for the children of the earth/

After every death, there comes a rebirth/

(Chorus)

When I leave this life, a life leaves me/

We'll still be friends, yeah, we'll always be/

Born an MC, but I'll die a thief/

Take to my grave stolen memories/

I remember listening to Led Zepplin/

Before I got into hip hop, or read anything/

My old british pop, John Lennon, rambling/

Like imagine, I never stopped imagining pop/

84, maybe more, there was a fave breakdancing/

Everybody is my school did the wave/

Remember sitting in the shade, fourth grade/

When your momma brought you cupcakes for your birthday? Or the WWF (yes yes)/

On your bike you were in trouble, but doubling was the best/

With the ladies, or girl I guess/

I went to private school, I loved that kilted dress/

Powell Edgar built the best/

And Def Jam was the label with the skill to test/

And the lady, gave me silky sex/

How I love making love in the wilderness/

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Back in the day, I wish that I could stay/

So many more things to say, but y'all I have to go away/

And when the cool rain, hit the hot pavement/

All the fools yell, BLOCK PARTY IN THE BASEMENT/

Poker faced boys was the crew with the aces/

Picture in my mind, I ain't forgetting any faces/

Basically, it's a tragic comedy/

I gotta go but I'll be smiling as I leave, on the eve of a new beginning/

I know you be grinning, with women and a cinnamon bun, just winning/

When life gave us lemons, no lemonade, gin and tonic and seven/

A little piece of heaven in it, gin and tonic so good with a little squeeze of lemon in it/

Hot days and a, summer breeze and a/

Friends and family please remember me/

Seeing the things I didn't deserve to see/

Life's so good it's like a stole the memories/

You talk about borrowing time. Well I borrowed time, and became a thief… stole me some memories.
