terra firma - looking back lyrics

[verse 1: kas solo]
i remember when the days used to seem longer
seemed like nothing would change, we would always grow stronger
is how i used to feel, but now that i got chance to look back
i [?] to realise i mistook that
endless days of fun, enjoying numerous relations
all my boys were dumb, but we grew out of those phases
plus we were young, too proud to admit mistakes, and
all the sh-t that comes with being an angry teenager
i wish that i could go back to those days, kid
i wish that i could go back to then (back to when?)
when it all first started and my life felt whole
where the future was my target and my sight wasn’t cold
waking up to the alarm, putting on my sh-ll toes
and catchin’ a ride from mum, because the bus didn’t go
around my way and my school was a long way to go
pick up all my friends along the way, then we would walk home
and stop at the [?] store on the corner of porter
spend a quarter, get a sugar buzz, go to connie’s and order
chilli cheese fries and a water, ’cause i was too broke for a soda
but that was back then, nowadays i feel grown up
now everything has changed, nothing stayed the same
everything seems smaller and there’s always shorter days
our future’s look washed up [?]
a lot of houses boarded up and the store’s turned to a place to stay
all my friends lost love and went away
but i can’t blame them, i got my own family to raise
school turned to work, work turned to pain
i was a fool that never learned [?] changed

[chorus: jodes]
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
or slow down (“slow down”)
or slow down
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
“seasons change, mad things rearrange
but it all stays the same” no, it doesn’t

[verse 2: [?]]
now i’m a take it back like letters that be return to sender
when the facts and days were better innocent with no agenda
i don’t endeavour to remember december in seventy-seven
but i clearly remember october end of eighty-seven
suite cases full with my family while we stand in rundle mall
strangers staring and scaring me while parents search for all
possible places for our first night to sleep in a different city
now as an adult i look back at mum and dad and feeling pity
kind of sh-tty from the inside only now i appreciate
back then i couldn’t calculate or estimate the path of fate
ten years of age tentative to engage and communicate
you must -ssimilate with this culture maturing my mental state
no speaking english family friends culture left back in brazil
opposites of what i learned but combining them is a sk!ll
year six, late eighty-nine, heard coppers get dissed in rhyme
motivated me so much in the clutch of researched to find
information as a student so prudent with observation
no internet for education but rappers in compilations
back then hip-hop did compete with dance music in central station
and the source mag arrived six months from its publication
destination of the movement was unknown but not scared
only cared when someone dared to ask the size of your nike air’s
this graffiti folklore making heroes of city kids
like the front page after the final in melbourne for jail bids
this fusion of type of bashing society now mush accept
the culture that they didn’t let it now comes back with intellect
i’ve got a family like many with mortgages job and bills
i’m going bald and getting old but improving my mental sk!lls

[verse 3: [?]]
i remember when, all i had to remember then
two most important things, family and friends
those who stuck by my side and will to the end
the ones we lost along the way, i’ll always remember them
sometimes i spend, reminiscing how it used to be
leaves me wishing i could start reliving
back to the younger me
worry free thinking life’s just a ride
no matter what it be, i’d always give it a try
i can’t lie, while growing up i always took the hard way
still made it to a man but it feels like only yesterday
me and hewitt, name it we’d do it just to get a laugh
only so much a boy can learn sitting out the cl-ss
time p-ssed, no sign of my behaviour getting better
seems all i got out of school was just another letter
to a mother, still wonder how she made it on her own
giving me a home as well as adidas romes
reebok pumps, converse to nike’s
every step i took merely imprints behind me
at times treading lightly, still wasn’t hard to find me
now morgans baby steps the imprints that guide me
into the next day, let’s say the best ways
the way that ive chosen, well at least that’s what i’m hoping
not for me but for those following my footsteps
my daughter, my cousins point them right at where i took left
like the hook says it used to be easy now it’s not
alot of sweating to be getting things this little kid once got
wanted the lot but really all i need was the basics
essentials for a life after all it’s what you make it

[chorus: jodes]
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
or slow down “slow down”
or slow down
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
“seasons change, mad things rearrange
but it all stays the same” “slow down”
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
or slow down “slow down”
or slow down “slow down”
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
“slow down”
it used to be easy, now it’s not
i’m feeling that this world has gotta stop
or slow down (slow down)
or slow down
“nowadays sh-t is different”
