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 |
