Memories Never Die - Cantrell

First Field Mob break up, now every day I wake up

Feel the pressure coming down on me

Know I wrote a thousand rhymes, somethin' like a thousand times

I promise I got it, just put it all on Steve

We ratchet and righteous, no, I ain’t forgot it

How shawties would want me, ignoring all of my mileage

We were losing our homies, we were dropping out college

We were losing our way, just hoping that we could find it but look

This that Holy Bible in a Gucci bag

Word to Soulo Ho, might catch the holy coach

Looking for my father, wonder where he at

Still pray I never see you down, boy, that’s a Holy Ghost

Run it back, biking to the park or to the corner store

J&J, Mama hit the grind and got us out the hood

Where we at?

Home of Ray Charles' mama and dreams

From the minors to the show, homie, welcome to the league

People love, people lie

Grab the wheel, take a ride

It’s you and yours, it’s me and mine

The memories, they never die

No straight line and it’s okay

'Cause you gon' find that they might fade, but

The memories, they never die, the memories, they never die

I lost my voice, still I’m the voice of the city

I got it back, I’m a national treasure and God sent me

It’s God-written, I’ve been scribed in hieroglyphics

My mind busy, the stressing, I clip it like Doc Rivers

Gotta practice patience

Youngins looking at me, I been grabbing spaceships

Usher in my partners like we trading places

We don’t forget the basics

Had to fix the vision like I went and got Lasik

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who the fairest of 'em all?

Who ain’t never hit a lick, who ain’t had that karma call?

Who ain’t try to study Big?

Who ain’t try to study Nas?

Who ain’t try to study Jay in hopes that I would never fall?

Yeah, aspire to inspire

Chasing all my desires, follow me through the fire

Swimming through troubled waters, do away with my idols

Hoping we never grow up, still repeating the cycle

People love, people lie

Grab the wheel, take a ride

It’s you and yours, it’s me and mine

The memories, they never die

No straight line and it’s okay

'Cause you gon' find that they might fade, but

The memories, they never die, the memories, they never die
