[Verse 1 Zi] Memories of past Christmases Everything was simple then we didnt know much Reminiscing young and innocent my soul was But I was hyperactive and couldnt wait to grow up And life circumstances never told me hold up Skipping class shit my father wouldve whooped my ass He had me doing more that just show up Had a special way to show love But you know what I guess thats the reason why were so tough Zi The Warrior cause I was raised like a soldier They used to say youll understand when you get older But shit I understood why the screaming got louder Wouldve done anything I could cause all we needed was a few thousand And til this day I still feel ashamed and wrong For acting spoiled when the dough was too low Had my mother ready to get a loan cause I was begging for some new clothes [Chorus Zi] Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast [Verse 2 Zi] No Play Station at the crib in the dirt we played And when it got cold youd be watching TV the whole fucking day Listening to music I was in a perfect place With all these rappers I was always trying to impersonate Not yet a man but I had to learn to play The mother and the father when they were working late And when you wouldnt listen you would go to bed with no dessert but hey Misbehave you deserve the pain Nowadays I hear kids saying shit I wouldve never had the nerve to say A young babysitter 10 years old Im not a chef but Im cooking dinner Taking care of my brother and my sisters And what a hell of a mission Going crazy cause I couldnt get them to listen Struggling to put one to bed while the other 2 are fighting in the kitchen [Chorus Zi] Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast [Verse 3 Zi] I used to hang out in the halls even though I cant stay I used to play ball even though I cant play And every year wed learn a new walk and a new handshake Thats also when you start letting your pants hang And I aint talking bout the slang Shit was changing everyday Taking words from every place From north to south east to west Africa and the States We looked up to the drug dealers and the thugs So we started acting stupid stealing selling stuff Quickly had bad feelings shit just wasnt in my blood So I tried to find another way to make a buck To all the kids listening your elders are hard on you for a reason So show respect to your parents and your teachers And live your childhood to the fullest growing up aint easy Please believe me [Chorus Zi] Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast Go back wanna go back We grow up in a hurry then we wish to go back Were talking bout the past memories and Kodaks Believe me little man you dont wanna grow up so fast
