[intro: vic vega]
Uh huh?
This what it sounds like? man
The song feels like going back into your childhood
Feels like it. so we're just gonna take it back one time
Take a look back into the past when life used to be so simple i mean
[verse 1: vic vega]
Chilling at the park as i take a look around
There's no children having fun i'm gazing at an empty playground
I feel alone with no friends by my side
Silent treatment is a bitch, inside my mind i feel traumatized
A broken childhood destroyed me as a person
Carried the burden, somehow the situation worsened
The sunset has got me feeling drained
In the afternoon i'm praying that i live to see another day
A smile hides away the pain
With tears running down my face, somehow i'm trapped inside a dark place
In my childhood all i witnessed was domestic violence
Saw my brother crying while i sat back in silence
My childhood became a nightmare
It's the life i had to see when i was young and i was nine years
Old, because i'm going up too fast
I ain't a bad boy i'm just a boy who had it bad
[chorus: vic vega]
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
[verse 2: vic vega]
Growing up was never easy when you're living as a kid
Straight kicking up dust, that's why they labeled me a rebel
Saw my close friend committed suicide it affected me
Bullies at my school teasing me, they tried to shit on me
My classmates laughed when i got a question wrong
The struggles in my life helps me to write a song
I'm having troubles in my sleep, waking up with bad dreams
I panic when i saw myself dying on the streets
It makes me want to holler, fighting for my life
Same time i'm trying to do something good with my life
Emergency housing, got me going wild
Hearing arguments every single day is getting foul
This ain't the life of wanted, but i had no other choice
Hardships going on, had made me feel annoyed
Pursuing my dreams is ever simple
While all these other rappers going at each other's temple's
Battling to get the spotlight in the game
I'm trying to maintain from all the madness and the pain
[chorus: vic vega]
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
I'm just remembering the times
[verse 3: vic vega]
There's no more turning back there's no more lonely cries
My family betrayed me and i had thoughts committing suicide
Only god knows why my life is filled with lies
Child abuse, domestic violence got a brother feeling traumatized
My life's compared to a school shooter
Nightmares keep calling in my sleep like freddy krueger
I've been treated like shit on all my birthdays
I wasn't happy here at all, why was i brought up in the first place?
Cause life's a bitch they want to see me in a ditch
When i write a song, people will just take it as a doss
Hopeless and violent, but i wanna stay silent
I'm fed up with the way i've been mistreated by all these cowards
Trying to survive at 22 years old
My heart turn cold, they're trying to take away my soul
Even now and then, it gets hard and i'm still struggling
The way the devil works has got my mind stay bugging
My life felt simple when i was a little kid
But now i'm growing up, life ain't always what it is
