HOOK
I try to make the most of every journey I take
And pray that I can live with every choice that I make
God willing when I die in this bed that I made
I hope a trail’s set ablaze when my records get played.

VERSE 1
Did so much wrong I had to write it
Every time I heard my struggle in songs I got excited
I was ten when that fire inside had got ignited
Wave the white flag, now give me my pad. Why fight it?
Plus the mic would keep me out of a coffin and jail cell
But when it’s on I’m a killer at heart like Tell-Tale
From the home of Edgar Allen, but 45 minutes south
Moved around quite a bit refusing to live in doubt
But I been about my independence and transcendence
And I learned how even a sentence can make a difference
Whether bars in a rhyme or the bars you’re behind
When you’re doing time, amazing what both can do to your mind
Wasn’t duly assigned but I play the reluctant leader
The shoes just happen to fit and I happen to need some sneakers
Cause I’ve been baring my soul until it’s nearly depleted
Trying to be here when needed… until evil’s defeated

VERSE 2
Miseducated overachiever with no degree
Without a notary he’s stamp by the public, and most agree
He more likely to put honor ’fore dollars and knowingly
Raise the bar to get us back on the track that we s’pose to be
Takin’ hopefullys and checked’em off the bucket lists
While simps wishing for consent, cause nobody told them they could fuck with this
With and without a publicist made something out of nothing
Higher than heaven’s gates, the strain of life got me buzzin’
Inhale then pass it to kindred spirits, come hit these lyrics
Fronting fearless while we masking the pain to keep up appearances
My heart’s just a patch on my sleeve hanging by threads
Tryin’ to hide it ‘fore it’s snatch off by thieves leaving me dead
Guarding it isn’t me, inclined to give it for free
And I’m fine with the design if that karma was meant for me
If it’s meant to be, may the name live on throughout centuries
Eternal life in your memories, sincerely me. 1

Times Remembered is a perfect slice of nostalgia for an era I didn't even exist during. It's wonderfully romantic and tinged with that bittersweet melancholy and I adore it.
