As of late I been reminiscin Way back when we had the time Parents talked but we never listened Knew it all we were masterminds Every class tryna stay awake Afternoons when we rode the bus Finding out that your friend is fake And the day that you had enough Yuh Back with the crew they were holding me down Get on the bikes and we riding around There was a pack of us tearing it up We pulling up all over town, Yeah Shoveling jumps, we sending it high Finally Friday, spending the night Eleven PM and we all sneaking out Everybody get down, it's better to hide Young rebels, we taking a stand Good idea, we should play in a band Make some music, express yourself Before it was all about chasing the bands Way Back we were chasin the girls Back when we all had Faith in the world Middle school, they try to keep us straight While Knowing that most would be taking a whirl Learn shit that we never should of Gonna find out, it was only time Learn to fail when we said we could've Taking risks, we Rollin dice Thinking back I'm envious of the days I wouldn't listen Kinda wish I had a mission, Right about now I'm really missing All the days, that were care free All the moments we used to have No one knew what their plans be But somehow knew we could use a laugh Life came like a stampede All of us goin through a test So far back we can't see Cause they gone, but I guess I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no High school with the same story Thick head kid that would hate to lose Not good at shit, all the games bore me But never cared about making moves Getting jobs we all need a check Fifteen tryna get a brand new bike No one told me I could be with the best And as for the squad, we thinking alike Fuck everything we just wanna go ride Butting the heads and you know we collide Hit up the pool and we all on the slide They kicking us out while we laugh till we cry ha! Acting dum like that Next week weee gonna come right back You know what I mean man the summer time free Not a care in the world till the fun go flat... Yuh We just fucking around Friends come and go man they up and they down Some of them, are never coming back Either by choice, or they stuck in the ground Not the case, for the rest of us Keep it pinned while you count your blessings Every loss that we take is ruff And the times are tough, all throughout recession That didn't matter to me tho Never cared about getting paid Long as I could go get to race And not worry bout life, to forget the strain Your hindsight 20/20 work with a different stare Way back, no limits there Afterall of that, I still didn't care through All the days, that were care free All the moments we used to have No one knew what their plans be But somehow knew we could use a laugh Life came like a stampede All of us goin through a test So far back we can't see Cause they gone, but I guess I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no stress Godamn I miss no Spending hours gazing back Here and now I lay these tracks My power for gaining racks And how to scour eighty plaques No time to be chillin Theres dope rhymes to be killing But God damn, I wish I could go back Sometimes to the life I was living And that's no stress, no bills Back 'fore I had those flow skills Had to move up my growth real Now I travel the world how the globe feel yeah But I wouldn't trade that for shit I got me in return Even times I'm getting burned 25 years of live and learn
