tywan bell - to a simpler time lyrics

Loading...

i’ma open up the blinds real quick, let some sunlight inside
ightttttt, yeah so
so can i take y’all back real quick?
i just wanna reminisce a little bit
yeah? okay

once upon a time i was cutting grass
tryna get a greenback at the age of 12 or 13
i’m not for sure exactly, but you can paint the picture perfectly imperfect
as i put the 15 dollars in my pocket while i get excited for the ice truck
to roll through the hood on the westside feeling like the riches man alive

’cause i hustled for mines, me and my little brother was on a grind
even though we was the goonies in the neighborhood
riding bikes, sitting on the handle bars with some pegs on the back
that was a 3 person transportation to the next location
or we was popping wheelies in the middle of the street
to see how long we can hold our balance

life was so simple
like take me back to when we was in the room freestyling to a
soulja boy beat as we found a rhythm
the early stages of a artist rappin’ over instrumentals
it got me feeling sentimental writing in this composition
and it’s crazy how one choice i made was a life decision
yeah i understood the repercussions

now i’m seen as a typical statistic
but i see a bigger canvas that can change the world system
so you can never blind my vision
but you can hate me or love me
either way i wanna go where life was simple

so can we take it back when life was simple?
’cause growing up is a tough challenge
’cause growing up is a tough battle
so can we take it back to when life was simple?

can we take it back to when life was simple?
’cause growing up is a tough challenge
growing up comes with many battles
so can we take it back to when life was simple?

21 now and i’m feeling the pressures of the world on my back
when reality struck after graduation
’cause i barely had plans to elevate my education
and i knew that the street wasn’t a option
so now i’m in this fast food place tossing tenders
as i put the chicken in the fryer, grease popping all on my skin

but what’s wild, it took me 4 years to take the leap of faith
jumping off the cliff, no cliff hanger or a parachute to catch my landing
so now i’m free falling with schematics for my rocket ship
with barely any resources
just a spirit guide, a laptop, and a mic to put my voice in
plus a couple dollars for the journey

not rich, but watch me turn my bars to wealth
while i find my inner self
’cause it’s a hard knock life, that’s why i play chess
to the point i forgot how many steps i’m ahead
and don’t classify this as bragging

while i’m spitting this fire hotter than a dragon
see the purple fire ignite when i tap into my passion
as i put on for nmr and my team when we’re established
and did you catch how i went back 8 or 9 years due to reminiscing
’cause i just wanna take it back to when life was

as we can we take it back to when life was simple
’cause growing up is a tough challenge
’cause growing up is a tough battle
so can we take it back to when life was simple?

can we take it back to when life was simple?
’cause growing up is a tough challenge
growing up comes with many battles
so can we take it back to when life was simple?
