chri$ cruz - back then lyrics

all right, stop now everyone just close your eyes
relax, calm down, no need to look at the time
think about a memory that puts a smile on your face
remember the sights the sounds the smell the taste/
now put yourself back in your shoes
i bet that time was great
not a care in the world
goin’ through your head of state
every night you got food on your dinner plate
a perfect memory is what your tryin’ to demostrate/
ya mom and dad are livin’ in perfect harmony
pushin a family sedan down the interstate
livin’ middle cl-ss status
i ain’t tryin’ to hate
this ain’t no negative image i’m tryin’ to recreate/
want you to reminisce on things from back in the day
when everything was perfect in so many ways
when you had to go outside if you wanted to play
instead of waisting your life
over them video games/ d-mn/
i’m takin’ you back you can feel your hair blowin’
must have you warm inside
darlin your face is glowin’
at your grandparents house, yeah that feelin’s showin’
i know that’s a memory there, forever your holdin’/
before the sickness you had the time of your life
eating snacks with grandma
stayin’ up late at night
do anything for that woman
really put up a fight
a special bond between us
one h-ll of a sight//

back to the black tops, yeah it was just me and tae
used to imagine playin’ ball in the nba
really takin’ it back we were in the fifth grade
lookin’ back at it now, man bro those were the days/
d-mn dawg i miss you
tae i just wish you
were here, to experience all of the things that i’ve been through
dealing with all these issues
ain’t got no one to vent to
n0body’s got my back like cruz i’ll defend you/
until that day, i swear god must have sent you
my guardian angel, cuz you gave me the strength to
put the guns down for good
and pick up the mic
and pour my heart into every song that i write/
sometimes when i’m thinkin’ about your memory
there’s a question inside
and it haunts me in my sleep
some days, i swear that it’s just so clear to see
that bullet wasn’t for you, it was meant for me/
you sitting there holding me
instead of me holding you
would have done everything for me
that i did for you
the real reason i died
my mom would’ve never knew
can’t even think of that image
if we had traded shoes/
but they say, everything happens for a reason
and god don’t give nothing that we can’t take
and that tragedy that happened when we were thirteen
helped mold me into the person that i am today, tae//

…i just miss you dawg, i wish you were still here, so many things you missed out on cuz your life was cut short, but i know that your in a better place/ and to grandma, i know that you’re with me, everytime i feel like givin up, i know you’re lookin down on me, like always…

— god bless you both —
