[Bugzy Malone - Childhood Memories lyrics]
Smiles, laughter, good times
Family, friends, no ties wild, young
And I'm about to take you back
Deeper than I can remember
Let me start with the smiles, the laughter
The good times
With the family, the friends and the no ties
She was wild
Young but that was all about to change
Because she had responsibility now
She had a life in her tummy
I'm talkin' 'bout my mummy
Daddy seen us as a meal ticket din' he
Well she replaced him like a
Real women should've done
And everything for her child like
A real women could and I was born on the
Twentieth of the twelfth 1990
She told me that shed never
Seen anything like me
I bet she didn't know I'd hold her back tight
Given birth to a soldier that
Will always fight for her
Now let me take you to my childhood
And I remember it being real good
I didn't know that the nineties
Were full of gangsters
And the ghetto was established
And were talking 'Bout the real hood
I just remember sitting in that living room
And for as long as I could
Hold a pen I was drawing
For as long as I could see I dream I
Had visions of a city that was sparkling
We were falling from the start
Bleeding from the heart
And I believed in you from day, oh
Now I'm reaching for the stars
Holding on to Mars because of you today, oh
We were falling from the start
Bleeding from the heart
And I believed in you from day, oh
Now I'm reaching for the stars
Holding on to Mars because of you today
Yeah drama, stress, no dough
Tears, pain, so broke lost, child
And I'm about to take you back to
The place that I'm just tryna forget
With the drama, the stress and the no dough
And the tears, the pain, so broke lost, child
But that was all about to change
Cos I was growing up
Defended for myself look
I had a step daddy right
But yin and yang hasn't always
Been black and white
'Cause, I could remember occasions where
We would have a fight and I would run away
Sit down and look up at the sky
Questioning my worth, am I a mistake?
'Cause, I'm black and my sisters white
Does it mean it's fate? That I
End up on the street
Bottle at my feet questioning
Where I'm gonna sleep and how I'm gonna eat?
Hell no lemme tell you how it's gonna be
I'm the priest of my own religion
I can only preach what I know
And what I've seen I can tell the streets
Every story from my journal I'm
Just still tryna compete with the lows
The peak when your tryna find your feet
And your future looks so bleak you turn
To the streets and the roads
My mummy tried her best and
Ignored the side effects
'Cause the struggle taught me all that I know
We were falling from the start
Bleeding from the heart
And I believed in you from day, oh
Now I'm reaching for the stars
Holding on to Mars because of you today, oh
We were falling from the start
Bleeding from the heart
And I believed in you from day, oh
Now I'm reaching for the stars
Holding on to Mars because of you today
Oh, oh, woah oh, oh oh, oh, woah, oh
Family, friends, no ties wild, young
And I'm about to take you back
Deeper than I can remember
Let me start with the smiles, the laughter
The good times
With the family, the friends and the no ties

Young but that was all about to change
Because she had responsibility now
She had a life in her tummy
