| Life, living in Flatbush and going to house parties
|
| Red lights, bumping, life is what you make it, then sorry
|
| In my lifetime, ain’t done too many things
|
| better than watching your first son put his sentences together
|
| Yo, it kinda make me think of way back when
|
| I was the portrait of the artist as a young man
|
| All them teenage dreams of rapping
|
| Writing rhymes on napkins
|
| Was really visualization
|
| Making this shit actually happen
|
| It’s like something come through me That truly just consume me Speaking through the voices of the spirits speaking to me
|
| I think back in the day, I absorbed everything like a sponge
|
| Took a plunge into my past to share with my son
|
| Bringing back sweet memories (3x)
|
| Like thoughts out the back of my mind
|
| Going back in some time
|
| Like when you used to cut and had to go to the back of the line
|
| Look back and you find
|
| Tracks that make you relax and recline
|
| Now cats rap about packing a nine
|
| When they lacking divine
|
| Inspiration
|
| Running out of topics of conversation
|
| Well I drop it in the pocket because rocking’s my occupation
|
| I do it remarkably, spark up a leaf
|
| And possibly you could follow me Tap into your chi
|
| Utilize your memory
|
| To help you see clearly, then get back to me Actually, nothing’s new under the sun
|
| So when life be stressing me My remedy is 'bringing back sweet memories'
|
| Like the faces that are woven in the fabric of my consciousness
|
| >From cities where making 21's a big accomplishment
|
| Like when my people understood their prominence
|
| And my past life visions of the continent
|
| Like the first time I saw KRS live, rockin’it
|
| I heard Resurrection by Common Sense
|
| Dominant in my psyche
|
| I chose my direction like Spike Lee
|
| To speak my life through mics, and I never take it lightly
|
| It might be something you did to bring you down when you were high
|
| But that karma’s a bitch, you steady asking God why
|
| Like when my parents first split up Yo, I was illin'
|
| Seems like some years they was together for the sake of the children
|
| And I love them for that
|
| I don’t know if they saw that
|
| So I’ma say it, and convey it when the world play it (3x)
|
| Bringing back sweet memories (3x)
|
| Like black is beautiful, names from the seventies
|
| Let me tap into your energy
|
| Fields of dreams become my property
|
| When I reach my destiny like a prophecy
|
| Especially when I 'm 'bringing back sweet memories'
|
| I got deep into my mind, see I got a treasury
|
| That float through my head like a sweet melody
|
| What you telling me Reflection is a collection of memories
|
| Definitely this is how hiphop was meant to be Eventually, I knew I’d run into Hi-Teknology
|
| It was only a matter of time like centuries
|
| Check the recipe or technique to how it sound so sweet
|
| I freak with word power, my man speak with beats
|
| If I could make it in New York, I figured anywhere I’d make it Came to Cincinnati linked with Mood, and we did Sacred
|
| Hi-Tek beats became my favorite
|
| Hussle on the Side was the cut
|
| We started to put songs together like 'What!'
|
| Travelled the world, came back to the crib
|
| And hit the motherland
|
| Yeah, this year we put in work and got some other plans
|
| In fact, that’s where I’ll take the fam
|
| when the Reflection joint is done
|
| By the time you hear this, I’ll be basking in African sun
|
| Like Wow!
|
| We made it We here |
