Stolen Memories

Sweatshop Union

I'm on my way, on the highway/ 
To a special place, it never rains, with better terrain/ 
And by the way I'll say good bye game/ 
But you cannot come with me somebody's got to stay/ 
So I'ma see you on my next life/ 
I might get it right, I might not/ 
Sweat it not, I love you lots/ 
So raise a glass to our friendship/ 
We had a lot of laughes, a lot of scraps you had my back through all of it/ 
It's a tough pill to swallow kid/ 
When you don't know if you'll see tomorrow/ 
Did you see me on the TV yesterday, yesterday/ 
Before I had to leave my life and throw it all away/ 
Throw my love in the bay, I'm moving again/ 
A sharp angst hill when this thing takes ill/ 
So keep building for the children of the earth/ 
After every death, there comes a rebirth/ 

(Chorus)
When I leave this life, a life leaves me/ 
We'll still be friends, yeah, we'll always be/ 
Born an MC, but I'll die a thief/ 
Take to my grave stolen memories/ 

I remember listening to Led Zepplin/ 
Before I got into hip hop, or read anything/ 
My old british pop, John Lennon, rambling/ 
Like imagine, I never stopped imagining pop/ 
84, maybe more, there was a fave breakdancing/ 
Everybody is my school did the wave/ 
Remember sitting in the shade, fourth grade/ 
When your momma brought you cupcakes for your birthday? Or the WWF (yes yes)/ 
On your bike you were in trouble, but doubling was the best/ 
With the ladies, or girl I guess/ 
I went to private school, I loved that kilted dress/ 
Powell Edgar built the best/ 
And Def Jam was the label with the skill to test/ 
And the lady, gave me silky sex/ 
How I love making love in the wilderness/ 

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Back in the day, I wish that I could stay/ 
So many more things to say, but y'all I have to go away/ 

And when the cool rain, hit the hot pavement/ 
All the fools yell, BLOCK PARTY IN THE BASEMENT/ 
Poker faced boys was the crew with the aces/ 
Picture in my mind, I ain't forgetting any faces/ 
Basically, it's a tragic comedy/ 
I gotta go but I'll be smiling as I leave, on the eve of a new beginning/ 
I know you be grinning, with women and a cinnamon bun, just winning/ 
When life gave us lemons, no lemonade, gin and tonic and seven/ 
A little piece of heaven in it, gin and tonic so good with a little squeeze of lemon in it/ 
Hot days and a, summer breeze and a/ 
Friends and family please remember me/ 
Seeing the things I didn't deserve to see/ 
Life's so good it's like a stole the memories/ 

You talk about borrowing time. Well I borrowed time, and became a thief… stole me some memories.
