C - Lance - Memories lyrics

[Verse 1:] Yo I remember way back before the shows and the buzz We was poor before I even f**ing knew what it was Grew up in low income houses with the freaks and the scrubs Remember momma crying tryna' find some eats for her cups Remember when we had to get our groceries from the church I used to think that if I disappeared nobody would search Around the time I met Matt and we became friends ever since Listening to gangster rap and throwing rocks at the fence My older brother Kyle was the wildest of all When other kids wanted to brawl Who the f** you think that I called? Remember stealing mad sh** and getting chased at the mall I can't describe how good it felt to paint my name on the wall I used to stay up late nights to develop my sk**s You wanna talk about the struggle well I know how it feels And as I'm staring at the city from the window in my studio Just thinking bout' my life and how it's kinda like a movie yo [Chorus] Can't change the past, it's gone for good don't waste your energy Gotta be yourself, forget the person you pretend to be Gotta learn from our mistakes, that's just written in our chemistry But I guess that's life man all we got left is these memories Can't change the past X2 [Verse 2:] Yo I remember way back before the fans and the fame Putting plastic bags in my shoes just to stand in the rain All of these diabolical thoughts that I planted in my brain All of them times it was my birthday and nobody came Remember grade 9 when me and Vern were starting a band My first concert was my high school, halloween dance That night altered me forever, never knew the extent That music would stay a part of me wherever I went I remember my little sister kickflipping the set We skated every day together, some sh** I'll never forget The kid was accident-prone, I was always in the hospital I wanted to be important but I thought it was impossible I used to stay up late nights to develop my sk**s You wanna talk about the struggle well I know how it feels And as I'm staring at the city from the window in my studio Just thinking bout' my life and how it's kinda like a movie yo [Chorus] Can't change the past, it's gone for good don't waste your energy Gotta be yourself, forget the person you pretend to be Gotta learn from our mistakes, that's just written in our chemistry But I guess that's life man all we got left is these memories Can't change the past X2
