4LIFE Lyrics by Genesis Owusu
But you can’t save ’em all
2014 I met my friends and we’re just laughing
We was on Skype with the freestyle raps, that *** was bookie
We ain’t have cash, but we try make some screen prints on clothing
Thought we was poppin’ on Tumblr, had a thousand notes
And I
I miss the life we used to lead
And I
I miss the life we used to lead
Curfew on ten, music on ten
Jersey had ten, keep it real like ten times ten
Dollars like ten, girls is all tens
Standing on ten toes down, like ten, like ten
We were like ten when we met then
Parents driving, backseat down Highway 10
Curfew on ten, music on ten
Jersey had ten, keep it real like ten times ten
2018, I’m with my friends, the world is ours
Palms are sweaty but we look at that *** like we had powers
We were still sleeping on the floor of our friend’s sharehouse apartment
We ain’t have much, but we made it something
And I
I miss the life we used to lead
And I
I miss the life we used to lead
2022, I took my friends to the Eiffel Tower
I was in debt but for the memories, man, that *** was worth it
You’d seen more of the world than your folks ever imagined
That’s the last year I must have seen the real you, you changed your accent
I miss the life that we used to lead
I miss the life that we used to lead
