Pinnie-wize - My Memories Lyrics
verse 1:
I wish I could go back to when i was just a child,
Peaceful straight thinkin' and actions less wild,
I could say i did something and be telling the truth,
Unlike now my thoughts and actions are most likely cruel,
Neva had anything expensive or new,
Stealing boxes from the back of the stores that we knew,
The carnival looked so fun from my Basin Street house,
Sightful lights and it was a short distance from the house,
Everytime i walked outside and looked around i would have a good time,
From the morning light to the dark lights of the night,
When the sun was bright sunny and heated,
We had a swimming spot and it was just what we needed,
I would lay my head on my pillow and think of the next day,
When i could outside and play again all day.
chorus:
These Are My Memories,These Are My Memories, My Memories...[2x]
verse 2:
Have you ever looked into a kids eyes when they cry?,
You could almost see yourself when the tears go dry,
There never was any shame on my family back in the good old days,
We looked out for each other and make sure the little ones didn't go astray,
I use to wait to hear my elders tell there Native stories,
I use to want to be just like the stories no worry,
It was a rivalry back then between the Natives and whites it seemed like,
I use to hear about the whites killin' Natives and Natives killin' the whites,
I learned from my brother that my people found this land,
We stood side-by-side and hand-and-hand,
My thoughts use to be like wow what ever happened, happened and nobody cared,
Now that the ends near its got everyone runnin' around scared.
[chorus]til fades.......
