Yo, you know what we got to do, man, we need to get a whole cd

Get a collection of all the music and everything we've ever done

Bringing back sweet memories
4
Life, living in flatbush and going to house parties
5
Red lights, bumping, life is what you make it, then sorry
6
In my lifetime, ain't done too many things
7
Better than watching your first son put his sentences together
8
Yo, it kinda make me think of way back when
9
I was the portrait of the artist as a young man
10
All them teenage dreams of rapping
11
Writing rhymes on napkins
12
Was really visualization
13
Making this shit actually happen
14
It's like something come through me
15
That truly just consume me
16
Speaking through the voices of the spirits speaking to me
17
I think back in the day, I absorbed everything like a sponge
18
Took a plunge into my past to share with my son
19
Bringing back sweet memories
20
Like thoughts out the back of my mind
21
Going back in some time
22
Like when you used to cut and had to go to the back of the line
23
Look back and you find
24
Tracks that make you relax and recline
25
Now cats rap about packing a nine
26
When they lacking divine
27
Inspiration
28
Running out of topics of conversation
29
Well I drop it in the pocket because rocking's my occupation
30
I do it remarkably, spark up a leaf
31
And possibly you could follow me
32
Tap into your chi
33
Utilize your memory
34
To help you see clearly, then get back to me
35
Actually, nothing's new under the sun
36
So when life be stressing me
37
My remedy is 'bringing back sweet memories'
38
Like the faces that are woven in the fabric of my consciousness
39
From cities where making 21's a big accomplishment
40
Like when my people understood their prominence
41
And my past life visions of the continent
42
Like the first time I saw krs live, rockin' it
43
I heard resurrection by common sense
44
Dominant in my psyche
45
I chose my direction like spike lee
46
To speak my life through mics, and I never take it lightly
47
It might be something you did to bring you down when you were high
48
But that karma's a bitch, you steady asking god why
49
Like when my parents first split up
50
Yo, I was illin'
51
Seems like some years they was together for the sake of the children
52
And I love them for that
53
I don't know if they saw that
54
So I'mma say it, and convey it when the world play it (3x)
55
Bringing back sweet memories
56
Like black is beautiful, names from the seventies
57
Let me tap into your energy
58
Fields of dreams become my property
59
When I reach my destiny like a prophecy
60
Especially when I 'm 'bringing back sweet memories'
61
I got deep into my mind, see I got a treasury
62
That float through my head like a sweet melody
63
What you telling me
64
Reflection is a collection of memories
65
Definitely this is how hiphop was meant to be
66
Eventually, I knew I'd run into hi-teknology
67
It was only a matter of time like centuries
68
Check the recipe or technique to how it sound so sweet
69
I freak with word power, my man speak with beats
70
If I could make it in new york, I figured anywhere I'd make it
71
Came to cincinnati linked with mood, and we did sacred
72
Hi-tek beats became my favorite
73
Hustle on the side was the cut
74
We started to put songs together like 'what!'
75
Traveled the world, came back to the crib
76
And hit the motherland
77
Yeah, this year we put in work and got some other plans
78
In fact, that's where I'll take the fam
79
When the reflection joint is done
80
By the time you hear this, I'll be basking in african sun
81
Like wow!
82
We made it
83
We here
