Lyrics

Memories,
memories keep me off that ledge, memories, memories , of what we lost back when
tendency,
to do anything, without a thought in my head
but the memories, memories,
Of how it was back then

Wear my heart on my sleeve
I think it’s part of my genes
I want someone to stay
But way too often they leave,
the homie died last night and I’m here writing art for relief...
man life is complicated take it from me.
I seen it all with just these optics here,
I’m hustling cause I never had an option near,
talking like an auctioneer,
blinded by the fog of fear,
couldn’t find a dollar here,
tons of guns and moving drugs collecting funds is all I hear...
I couldn’t give you love if I tried,
Got way too many problems that I’m holding inside,
open your eyes and see the truth love,
ain’t no such thing as true love,
guess that means you got a lot to prove love
I’ve been waiting patient by my bed side, guess I,
got a lot to do to reach the next high, next time...
nah there ain’t no next time,
learned to just accept mistakes I made and hold my head high
Ima live forever in this music, doll,
use it all for therapy to sooth your soul,
i know you want serenity, all your failed attempts could be a drag,
but it’s worse to give it up and wonder what you could’ve had. Uh

Memories,
memories keep me off that ledge, memories, memories , of what we lost back when
tendency,
to do anything, without a thought in my head
but the memories, memories,
(Keep me up instead)
Of how it was back then

Self-love, self-love is the only form of true love, true love
There ain’t nothing else to prove, love,
I give love
With my heart on my sleeve
Unconditionally
Can’t trip if they stay or leave
Seasonally
Learned my lessons from the things that I’ve seen
From the losses that I’ve taken humbly
Failing forward till the day I succeed
Listen:
It’s timing baby
It’s all happens for us not to us baby
And if the memories that I supplied
Keep you high
Hold them dear forever so they get you by
And while you’re chasing the dream
Faith in all the unseen
Don’t forget my love and just how much you mean to me
And while you live on the edge
Tempted by every ledge
May each memory with me keep you from losing your head

Memories,
memories keep me off that ledge, memories, memories , of what we lost back when
tendency,
to do anything, without a thought in my head
but the memories, memories,
Of how it was back then
