A Bittersweet (Retrospective)

Lyrics

[Intro] It's with bittersweet remembrance I walked away from innocence And now it seems so far away We were climbing roofs on summer days [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge x2] 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 [Outro] 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
