Looking Back ft. Kas Solo

It used to be easy now its not
I'm feeling that this world has gotta stop.

Now I'm a take it back like letters that be return to sender,
when the facts and days were better innocent with no agenda,
i don't endeavour to remember December in 77,
but i clearly remember October end of 87,
suite cases full with my family while we stand in rundle mall,
strangers staring and scaring me while parents search for all,
possible places for our first night to sleep in a different city,
now as an adult i look back at mum and dad and feeling pity,
kind of shitty from the inside only now i appreciate,
back then i couldn't calculate or estimate the path of fate,
10 years of age tentative to engage and communicate,
you must assimilate with this culture maturing my mental state,
no speaking English family friends culture left back in Brazil,
opposites of what i learned but combining them is a skill,
year 6 late 89 heard coppers get dissed in rhyme,
motivated me so much in the clutch of researched to find,
information as a student so prudent with observation,
no Internet for education but rappers in compilations,
back then hip hop did compete with dance music in central station,
and the source mag arrived 6 months from its publication,
destination of the movement was unknown but not scared,
only cared when someone dared to ask the size of your Nike air's,
this graffiti folklore making heroes of city kids,
like the front page after the final in Melbourne for jail bids,
this fusion of type of bashing society now mush accept,
the culture that they didn't let it now comes back with intellect,
I've got a family like many with mortgages job and bills,
I'm going bald and getting old but improving my mental skills.

Chorus

I remember when, All I had to remember then,
two most important things, family and friends,
those who stuck by my side and will to the end,
the ones we lost along the way, I'll always remember them.
sometimes i spend, reminiscing how it used to be,
leaves me wishing i could start reliving,
back to the younger me,
worry free thinking life's just a ride,
no matter what it be, I'd always give it a try,
i cant lie, while growing up i always took the hard way,
still made it to a man but it feels like only yesterday
me and hewitt, name it we'd do it just to get a laugh,
only so much a boy can learn sitting out the class,
time passed, no sign of my behaviour getting better,
seems all i got out of school was just another letter,
to a mother, still wonder how she made it on her own,
giving me a home as well as Adidas Romes,
Reebok pumps, converse to Nike's,
every step i took merely imprints behind me,
at times treading lightly, still wasn't hard to find me,
now Morgans baby steps the imprints that guide me,
into the next day, let's say the best ways,
the way that Ive chosen, well at least that's what I'm hoping,
not for me but for those following my footsteps,
my daughter, my cousins point them right at where i took left,
like the hook says it used to be easy now it's not,
alot of sweating to be getting things this little kid once got,
wanted the lot but really all i need was the basics,
essentials for a life after all it's what you make it.

Chorus
