Track 16 from Section One

lyrics

Streetlight memories, some things,
Some things you should never see,
Streetlight memories, some things,
Some things you should never see,
I’ll never be the same again,
No I’ll never be the same again,
It’ll never be the way it was,
Life has a way of changing men, street-streetlight memories.

Winter time, chopping in the slush, no kush,
Used to keep my bag of dimes, in a dead rose-bush,
I would grind all day, til I fell, no push,
Wound up in a cell, like, its hell, no books?
I remember nights, underneath the streetlights,
Used to never eat right, life was nothing like it’s s’posed to be like,
Used to wanna be liked, but now it’s different,
Cause the only thing I want is to force crowds to listen,
And I’ll never be same as before, I simply couldn’t be,
Cause that’s the only time in my life, there wasn’t good in me,
I’ve seen dudes shot & shanked, they tried to sail with the pirates,
But the pirates made em walk the plank,
Chopping rocks ain’t like chopping dank, what’d they think?
That they’re walking tanks? Could be true the way they dropped and sank,
So many lost over snot and crank and I’m fucked up, but,
When I wake up, I give proper thanks.

(Hook)

Can’t sleep, tossing in my sheets, wife’s pissed,
Tell me how could I have ever lived my life like this?
Had to flee the nest, didn’t take long til I’d see arrest,
Reassessed, couldn’t see me, I’d just see a mess,
Brokenhearted parents, no EMS, so ashamed,
But they’d die happy just to be impressed, so I changed,
Overcame, trying to numb it all, like I’m Novocain,
Maybe take the sting out the past, by bringing no more pain,
Cause I’ll always have my memories and that’s enough,
And I ain’t trying to be locked down or shackled up,
Acting up, got a chance to win, can’t pass it up,
If I lose, steer at a deer, can’t pass the buck,
Things change; I just hope that I did too,
I’m only half-sane, after all that I’ve been through,
The dope game, muscle game, bids I did do,
I feel old now, time just flew.

(Hook X2)
