Simpler Times

[Verse 1]

Every now and then, I'd sit back and I'd reflect
So many memories of mine that I would recollect
I know that growing up has mountains of benefits
But I'd rather use this beat to sit back and reminisce
Back to when my life was always so free of stress
An toddler watching Toy Story on VHS
Inner peace of mind, no pain in my head at all
Jungle Book characters painted on my bedroom wall

Days of my youth, feelin' like a celebration
Spyro, Crash and Tekken 2 on my PlayStation
The time I'd waste away, the CDs I would play
Now I sit behind the mic, thinkin' back like 'Those werе the days.'
But damn, never did I oncе realise
Moments like that, in the best ways to summarise
Eventually will vanish within the sands of time
Till you're all by yourself, tryin' hard to stand in life
But still-

[Hook]

I find myself
Thinking back to when
Times were easier

I wish I could've seen
How good I had it
During all those
Simpler times

[Verse 2]

Been so many years, still feels like yesterday
Cartoons and video games, takin' the stress away
Not once did I worry about keeping life steady;
Only cared 'bout adventures of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy
Before my life would get so twisted like a Rubix Cube
I'd watch some Happy Tree Friends up on YouTube
Days before the times changed for generations
Way before controversies and demonitisation

I'm thinkin' back to the past, back to the times in the park
Spent on the swings, iPod in hand, back before it got dark
Hopin' that when I grow up, all of my dreams would show up
Then before I'd know it, all my fame would blow up
But reality can be so cruel
It took my younger self and played him like a fool
Now I sit on my bed, thinkin' back with my pen
I had it so easy, wish I saw it back then

[Hook]
