It's with bittersweet remembrance/ I walked away from innocence./ And now it seems so far away/ we were climbing roofs on summerdays.
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/ cus time run fast in every way/ and 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.
It's with bittersweet remembrance./ There's laughter and there's violence./ It did not matter who was right/ in the backseat on a summernight.
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./ "BlĂ„ljus!! Ăh, 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 (R.I.P) 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.
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. (X2)
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.
