Intro — Soul Sample] Back when we had nothing… We still believed in something… Ohhh, those days… [Hook — Rap/Sing] Take me back when the love felt real, When a handshake meant more than a signed deal, We was broke, but somehow had a good time, Now everybody got a price on they mind. I been running through the memories lately, Thinking ’bout the ones who raised me, Lost some people, yeah, that changed me, But the old days still come and save me. [Verse 1 — Melodic Rap] I remember cold nights, walking through the rain, Trying to make a dollar just to ease the pain, Mama told me, “Keep your head up, stay strong,” I ain’t understand it then, but she was never wrong. We ain’t have much, but we laughed a lot, Couple friends on the block, posted by the spot, Dreaming ’bout a life that we couldn’t see, Now I’m looking back like, “Damn, that was me.” Time changed, people changed, that’s life, Some went left, some ain’t make it through the night, I keep their memories close to my heart, Even though everybody had to play their part. [Soul Sample — Female Vocal] Ohhh, don’t you let the good times fade… Keep those memories close… Even when the whole world changes… [Hook — Rap/Sing] Take me back when the love felt real, When a handshake meant more than a signed deal, We was broke, but somehow had a good time, Now everybody got a price on they mind. I been running through the memories lately, Thinking ’bout the ones who raised me, Lost some people, yeah, that changed me, But the old days still come and save me. [Verse 2 — More Emotional] Now I’m older, but I’m still that kid inside, Trying to make my family proud before I die— Before I leave this world, I got dreams to chase, Want my people smiling when they see my face. I don’t need the fame if the love ain’t there, Don’t need a mansion if my people can’t share, Give me real ones sitting around that table, Talking ’bout the old days like, “Man, we made it.” [Outro — Soul Sample] Back when… Back when love was enough… Back when we had nothing… But somehow… we had everything…
