Blu, EXILE - In Remembrance lyrics

Ha ha haha writin' in, writin', writin' in
Writin' in my book of rhymes
How time flies (yeah)
Writin' in, writin', writin' in, writin'
Writin' in, writin'
Writin' in my book of rhymes
How time flies (Check it)

It seems like yesterday we was
Chasing an ice cream truck
Now we hoping that our ice bling plush
It's kinda crazy right? One minute you
A baby and the next
You sexin' without protection and now
You holdin' a baby like
Damn, I was just in your shoes
Now you the papa that's adjustin' they shoes
Teach them to walk straight
Cause honestly, they got a long way to go
And what you tell 'em now
Is all that they know
See I remember when my folks said
"You'll know what I mean when you get older"
I was only a teen

Thinking that I was a grown-up
Please, I had so much to see
Thinking the little that I saw was all
The world had to offer to me at 18
I headed off in the streets without guidance
Just the eyes of God watching
Over me it's time i spent hours working
Nine-to-fives to survive
Me and Jack up in the
Shack started hustlin' sacks
Just to eat chips and soda
Thinking we finna blow up once
This demo gets done
We gon be stretched out rich
Riding limos and such
Boy, I was just a dreamer
Rocking shows like I went gold
You shoulda seen us
We was full of youth, not yet abused by time
It's like I saw the whole
World through my rhymes
It's kinda crazy, right? (How time flies)

Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
No time, time, time, time
Time for looking back
Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
Fuck it black, no time, time, time, time
Time for looking back
But only you saw what took
Too many time to see

This reminds me of junior high
When you and I first met
'96 was a year that I could never forget
Sunset summer school dance
Kisses chicken heads spreadin rumors
"Blu's cheatin' on Shameka with Anika"
We was bad, ditching class
Grass had us all gassed
I never smoked, played ball
Thought it would make me choke
By the way we lost the
Championship game by one
Slow fucker hit a three at the buzzer
My heart sunk, I started crying
I was tryna be a pro baller
My first fuck was that year and
Still I don't call her

My own father brought me to
Her house that weekend
He was cheating so I lost my
Big V while he was beatin
In the other room, not yet abused by time
I saw the whole world
Through that girl's eyes
It's kinda crazy though
(How time flies) how it flies
My grandpa died the same year
My mom thought that I was too
Young to make this song because I'm only 22
But John Barnes has a long path behind him
I'm walkin in the shoes of a giant
And I was a fan of Jordan
Way before I knew Bryant
Lost my great grey suit but
I was through crying

So I hear tears behind my suit and tie and
Now you can find it through my
Rhymin' cause my timing has come
And you gon know my whole story
By the time I get done
Rising like the shining sun
Reminding you how we came
We rich now, but used to be slaves
We pushing whips now, we used to be whipped
Rockin chains when we used to be in 'em
Still complaining that we victims
In the system shit is twisted but shit
We came a long ass way
Yet it just feels like one long day
Shit amazes me (How time flies)

Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
No time, time, time, time
Time for looking back
Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
Fuck it black, no time, time, time, time
Time for looking back
But only you saw what took
Too many time to see
