Looptroop - A Bittersweet Remembrance

It's with bittersweet remembrance
I walked away from innocence.
And now it seems so far away
we were climbing roofs on summerdays.

Picture this: The mid eighties.
Up to no good kids ready to get crazy.
Big babies never wanted to grow up.
It's perfect like it is ten years old's enough.
Didn't know much about the world outside.
But it was only a matter of time
cus time run fast in every way
and fifteen years back seems like yesterday.

When I rocked fat laces and copped my first lp,
wrote my first rhymes inspired by P.E.
I couldn't wait to bum rush the show.
Ask my parents, they were first to know.
They thought that I was gonna stick to rhymin'.
Couldn't believe their son was criminal minded.
But all I ever wanted was my name on the wall,
sprayin' it all who are you sayin' I'm wrong?

We had bad moments and good times.
we move fast, no time to look twice.
Days became weeks and weeks became months.
Things around me changin' but I remain the same one.

It's with bittersweet remembrance
There's laughter and there's violence
It did not matter who was rightin the backseat on a summernight.

Picture this: The mid nineties
When hip hop ruled everything around me
We formed Looptroop, did a couple of tapes
Sold the copies away in a couple of days
And when the night came we got busy
It was war with the cops here in Punk rock city.

We used to get chased on the bikes
"Blljus!! h, jag drar!" Cus I ain't facin' no trial.
But two times they got me.
So what, I got a fine, fine that couldn't stop me.
Me and Linus (R.I.P) just laughed in court.
After dark we're goin' back of course.

Years passed, they were runnin' away.
Got new friends and lost some on the way.
Time flies and it ain't no way to hold it up.
It's that bittersweet feeling of growin' up.
Day after day my heart just keep beatin'
That bittersweet feeling it come creepin'
I'm gettin' stressed out of life itself.
No more, no less this is what I get. (X2)

And with bittersweet remembrance
we walked around 'til it made sense
And though it seems so far away
The children here still sound the same.
