Lyrics A Bittersweet (Retrospective) - The Casual Brothers, Christian Kjellvander

A Bittersweet (Retrospective)

It’s with bittersweet remembrance
I walked away from innocence
And now it seems so far away
We were climbing roofs on summer days
Picture this… the mid eighties
Up to no good kids, ready to get crazy
Big babies never wanted to grow up
It’s perfect like it is, ten years old’s enough
Didn’t know much about the world outside
But it was only a matter of time
'cause time run fast in every way
Fifteen years back seems like yesterday
When I rocked fat laces and copped my first LP
Wrote my first rhymes inspired by P. E
I couldn’t wait to bum rush the show
Ask my parents, they were first to know
They thought that I was gonna stick to rhymin'
Couldn’t believe their son was criminal minded
But all I ever wanted was my name on the wall
Sprayin' it all, who are you sayin' I’m wrong?
We had bad moments and good times
We move fast, no time to look twice
Days became weeks and weeks became months
Things around me changin' but I remain the same one
It’s with bittersweet remembrance
There’s laughter and there’s violence
It did not matter who was right
In the backseat on a summer night
Picture this: The mid nineties
When hip hop ruled everything around me
We formed Looptroop, did a couple of tapes
Sold the copies away in a couple of days
And when the night came we got busy
It was war with the cops here in Punk rock city
We used to get chased on the bikes
«Blåljus!
Äh, jag drar!»
Cus I ain’t facin' no trial
But two times they got me
So what, I got a fine, fine that couldn’t stop me
Me and Linus just laughed in court
After dark we’re goin' back of course
Years passed, they were runnin' away
Got new friends and lost some on the way
Time flies and it ain’t no way to hold it up
It’s that bittersweet feeling of growin' up
Day after day my heart just keep beatin'
That bittersweet feeling it come creepin'
I’m gettin' stressed out of life itself
No more, no less this is what I get
And with bittersweet remembrance
We walked around 'til it made sense
And though it seems so far away
The children here still sound the same
