nick rose - simpler times ii lyrics

[intro]
yeah
a moment of silence
alright now we bang

[verse 1]
yeah, uh
the art of balance is starting with being an adolescent
i look back at my progression and wonder why the succession
and timing things has brought me to finer things
i contemplate
‘cause now i’m eating the soul food that’s on my plate
my girl wants to take me to whole foods
that’s not a date
‘cause i just want to get to the meat and potatoes
it’s crazy how all this music sh-t came in like a tornado
and completely changed everything that i’m made of
and now i’m looking back at my friends
like “where you going?”
like “when you gonna take your dreams and put them into motion?”
and then i realized i’m alone in this sh-t
it’s hard being all alone in this sh-t
‘cause i’m just focused as sh-t
all they dreams dead
signed xo with my condolences
i’m tryna take off asap, on my cozy sh-t
send my family some cash, my girl some roses, sh-t
and all these rappers out to the wolves
i’m on my frozen sh-t
10 years old, me and danny in the snow and sh-t
i’m 16, wondering when i’mma blow and sh-t
16, what do i even know? sh-t
16, what do i even know? sh-t
[verse 2]
uh
my generation’s addicted to glowing screen
‘cause the notifications showing keep the flow of dopamine
yeah, i know it’s not our fault
it’s the world that we was born into
but now every day kinda seems like a joke to me
why my whole generation depressed?
why you silent when your favorite rapper is gripping a neck?
y’all showing twisted respect to the abused and the victimized
yeah, it seems cool, but what if those eyes were your sister’s eyes?
kids with anxiety afraid to show they true colors
i’m just thankful i was raised in a house with two brothers
and a mom and a dad who kept me going through the darkest days
so many times, the devil almost took my heart away
but he sn-tched it from most of the youth
i don’t watch news anymore, how do i know what’s the truth?
every corporation got agendas to sway my opinion
so they can change what i’m thinking
turn all my peers into minions
making erasure decisions
raising the price of medicine
changing the pace of existence
i got no patience for this sh-t, no
i got no patience for this sh-t, no
yeah i got no patience for this sh-t, no

[verse 3]
uh, yeah
xanax and lean
turned all my friends into fiends
‘cause all they hear is rappers talking ‘bout drugs, b-tches, and cream
but what they don’t know is these rappers are really actors
‘cause none of them really trapping
they lying behind the scenes
i wish that i could rewind back to the days
where happiness and joy was a coloring page away
when mom was always laughing at me and danny’s impressions
and everyone got along, no bullsh-t and no questions
the day when i was cool with everybody at my school
i mean i still kinda am, it’s just people be acting foolish
and i cannot waste my times on those kids that just stir up bullsh-t
‘cause that’s all they can do to put themselves inside the pulpit
and keep themselves relevant
i hate to say it but we in the room and there’s a elephant
i ain’t speaking just for the h-ll of it
i speak to embellish sh-t

[verse 4]
take me back to the days on the street
on our bikes
when we was rolling up and down the concrete
then we’d go back to mom’s and get us something to eat
those were the simpler times, and yeah, that’s word to me
take me back to the days we visit the city
neon lights, beyond bright, the view is pretty
take me back to when n0body known us
crowded times square, big signs saying coca-cola and motorola
take me back to the days when my dad was on a plane
like, every other day
he was hitting all the big cities
atl, h-town, chicago
everyday, up in my room, dreaming that i’d go
take me back to the days
me and dylan in the spare room working on all them home videos
talking dreams
like “bro, how far could we go?”
little did we know
little did we know

[outro]
oh, little did we know
those were the simpler times
