Decades

Verse 1

I've been distant
Pensive, on a mission to listen instead of speak
But this beat's got me reminiscent,
Ever since I could remember all of these lines in my head,
When I would rehearse awake at night reciting, lying in bed
Trying to bend the mind to find what's hiding
Diving for gems
I was lead to believe that striving was a sign of success
And I'll get paid in satisfaction,
But who's signing my checks?
Now I've been forced to bite my words with no more vitamins left

Hook

We had it easy
For decades when the morning would greet me
The afternoon would sing
Before the night came to feed me

We had it easy
My folks said the TV would blind me
See me climbing up the trees into the sky
Is where you'll find me

We had it easy
Before a year was comprehensible
A month was too long
And each minute was indispensable

We had it easy
We said we'd never forget,
For what?
We swore on forever we'd be together till the end
We had it easy

Verse 2

Hard to believe it's,
Not even that far to conceive it,
Wore my heart on my sleeve till the harmony started to beat it
All that time in the kitchen listnin',
Spittin' out what I'm eatin'
I swore to the floor it'd be my lifetime ultimate achievement
Just at the mention of rap "That's detention you class rebel!"
Then after that ten passed there was less slack on the gas pedal
Excelling with every chapter,
Created a space to seperate the chatter from the laughter,
Mad hatters from the cats or
An actual talented cast from a ballot of
bad actors,
Question, "What's Dap after?"
An easy ask but alas it remains only half-answered,
The saying "forget the past" is brash and it lacks candour,
Whenever we push it back it detracts from the track's master
Any mention and you can bet when I'm cancelling cash transfers
There won't be a last chance for,
When the nuance and facts were,
Magically ass backward
That's when I'd understand that I'd have to adapt faster

We had it easy
For decades when the morning would greet me

Before the night came to feed me

See me climbing up the trees into the sky

We had it easy
Before a year was comprehensible
A month was too long
And each minute was indispensable

We had it easy
We said we'd never forget,
For what?
We swore on forever we'd be together till the end

We had it easy
