lyrics

Verse 1:

Ok let’s see…it was uhmmmm
It was 99, I was about five when I first felt the vibe and stuff
My Pap’s booming up the speakers, three in the morning
That’s about the best memory I have of /with him
I couldn’t fathom the depth of what happened, spell bound forever to set adrift on memories bliss
Every time my ear was kissed and caressed by this electric fix
I remember sitting there, legs crossed, arms reaching out, mind perplexed
As my little fingers ran down a stack of records
Towards, further and further, the writing in the stars
There were clouds of dust, it smelled like must
(But) between thin spaces, I saw faces and places
Foreign to me, by name calling to me
To fall into my hand and me.

Hook (Holstar):
As I walk down memory lane, as I walk down memory lane
As I walk down memory lane, as I walk down memory lane…yeah x2

Verse 2:

So it’s a couple (of) years later now
Trying to get some paper and make it somehow
Maybe get a Hype cover too before I turn 22
You never know…it might come true
But, mom says “Stay stuck to the books. There (are) too many crooks trying to make it off a hook”
So I feel shook some, I’m probably gonna get none
But, then comes along this cat named Duncan
Talking about “...kid, you’ve got something special”
But I doubt it, honestly it bothers me
Getting too emotional like “...why won’t anybody put me on the radio?!”…you know?
But whatever, it’s cool.
Refuse to be another Quick-Draw (Drawl)-MC-Won’t-Grow
So my lips stay blessed, yes
Gilding 10 plus 6 and I plan not to miss
Making promises for this

Hook (Holstar):
As I walk down memory lane, as I walk down memory lane
As I walk down memory lane, as I walk down memory lane…yeah x2
