i miss

(album: no sleep in LA - 2022)

I miss the times where I drew between the lines
Never needed clues, never searching for no signs
Had the goal, the vision but ain't nobody listen
To a younging with a mission, never gave the permission
To be doing what I wanted till I seized it in the morning
Momma don't you think, I should be doing what I wanna
Live like I dream my world a fantasy unfolding
Don't need nobody saving me whenever that I'm falling
Like an astronaut, float next to sun, like it super hot
Daddy pops, said that I'm a champ and that I'd pop
So I popped, out here calling me the greatest on the rock
Said "I'm not" but I took it and I rocked, it had me hot
Had me good, felt I could take the whole neighborhood with me
Til you cut ties and we move to a new... country, new city, new this, new that
Damn I used to hate it but in love with where I'm at

I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
Mama told me wash the dishes
Never thought that I would miss it
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days

How did it all change in this short time
Riding my bike to school ignoring road signs
I miss the days I wasn't worried 'bout my phone dying
Constantly feeling I need to dive for a goal line
I'm running never do I slow down
Tryna spend my days reconnecting some close ties
Tired of using the phrase:' it's been a long time'
It's day n night like Cudi in '09
I miss the days where my passion wasn' t my job yet
Honest to god I'm happy with where my mind's at
Don't worry 'bout how much time's left
I' m just focused on the mile ahead
Where does it lead
Don't wanna know
I do it on feeling
I'm out on my feet
Back on the ropes
Still undefeated
I'm just tryna lift my spirit 'cause I need it
Thinking' bout the days gone past I can't believe it

I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
Papa told me I'm a winner
Lately that's how I've been feeling
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days

I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
I miss, I miss, I miss
I miss the good days
