1 ContributorCity Memories Lyrics [Intro] Yeah! Yeah! Samurai Baby! Yeah! [Verse 1] Took a moment to write this line I hope it takes you back in time Such memories are hard to find I wonder what the world was like When people never had the time To sit and troll on people's lives When people never had the time To look for others and feed them lies I wonder what the world was like When no one shared their lifе online Or think of way to bring you down Or posting what they had last night Or what their brеakfast might look like I wonder what the world be like If all we had postage stamps Those insult might just take some time 250 words from a useless mind Our ease of life has made us blind From what you think is wrong or right Perspective is a rule of life A thief would say he did no wrong Because he stole to save his child A priest would say he did no wrong Because he saved the lesser ones The rules of heaven clearly states the evil things You must stay away, I wonder why you think it's fun When others try to fade away You sit and smile when people cry Is it so hard to stretch a hand You feeling like you own the world But all you own is just your pride I wonder what the world be like If people could just take their time To listen to ones who cry To show them love and make them smile Not people who just lead you on Or lead you to the therapist You sit and spit your problems out An hour late, your time is up She gets her pay, you head your way Her pocket's fat, your troubles stay You wile away, depression stays This time we have is not our own And once the heavens calls our names The life we had, returned back home So let's all learn to cherish life To live a life that's full with smiles [Hook] They feeling like they own the world They feeling like they in control They feeling like they own your soul People try to feed your soul With hate and pain to stop your growth A city that was filled with life Becomes a place that tips your mind To make you fall like dominoes [Verse 2] I wonder bout a place like that Or maybe I'm just thinking of, a place of old But where is that, a place we could all be free A place that's just like paradise The negative be null and void It won't exist, it what they want Their thoughts be filled with negative And if you smile, it wears them down The joy you bring , it's not enough They asking where your problems be Like why you happy all the time Like you be meant to stay depressed Not pull yourself from all distress I want a place, where there's liberty The freedom to express myself So easily, to live in peace, avoiding people's casualties I want to build new memories, not fallacy this city brings, demoralizing its citizens, make them face the penalty of living like it's prison time or living like the Israelites When they were stuck with Egyptians Who whooped their ass relentlessly Like they were packs of animals, but still the lord was merciful [Hook] I'm feeling like the world might change I trying to see it differently But all these years, keeps getting worse But if the world remains the same It's up to us to change our ways So when the world is crumbling We'll have a place to call our own So I'm telling you, you have a choice Don't live your life to please others, cause when they happy You will be sad, they won't be there to mend your heart You'll be alone or in your grave There'll be no one to hold your hand I'm not saying you should be negative Just saying you should stay happy And not be the one who breaks those hearts [Verse 3] Technology be the biggest drug We sit and stare into the light That shines so bright from a clicking screen Most people live a virtual life On Instagram, you have a voice But in reality, it's just a squeak You shouting 'bout the injustice I bet you never left your house The matter starts and end at home A question I would like to ask Would you be kind to avoid your phone For just a day, just turn it off And try face the world around I see you can't, it's impossible They fit they call from all my shops Make I quickly take this call We all are slaves to the beeping tone We grab our phones before we pray Straight from when the sun is up I guess it's now part of us The internet that we take so high Still the one who brings us low Critics really rule this life Allowing people to decide for you You only proud when they proud of you Believing what they think of you Obeying like they tell you to I see your leash is invincible [Outro: Timel the Samurai and Oreoluwa]
