T Shan - 1995 Lyrics

Hey
We don't really hug like them, but you make an exception when I go
I don't call enough, reminders piling on my phone
And mama used to say that I don't care, ain't sure that she wasn't wrong
But I hope you know, you know
And I know we, ain't always see eye to eye
But I'm grown, and still looking up to you
How could I leave you behind (Behind, behind)
Look how far you done climbed (Look how far you done climbed)
Since 1995 (Nineteen, ninety-five)
How many different lives
Have we lived in our time?
(Yeah)
And we don't say "I love you" without, a look to the side
Honestly, we probably shouldn't live in one house, all got too much pride
I haven't been the best son
Been bitter, know I stressed you
You had me when you were kids
Look what you made, just look what you made for us
When you were crying in Chi-Town (In Chi-Town)
Cause this language got you inside out
Still interviewed and locked shit down, you had
Bullets right outside the house
Got me the visa in Shenyang (Yeah, yeah)
You were unemployed when sis' came out
For my schooling, bought the house
Where would I be if you ever thought about yourselves?
Remember when it was just us?
We had bussed up
To my parents' place
When you said she was in America
I ain't trust that
The U.S. was just down the street or something
How're you telling me that Adam/Eve left the function?
My parents' furniture saran-wrapped like leftovers
I got leftover, concrete floor we stepped on never felt colder
We were all poor, just the time and place
Grandma said, "let's go home"
You told me they'll be back for me
I was never that lonely cause I had you and grandpa
And that's all I needed
Sitting by the cassette tapes
In my new reality, but they were kinda my best days
Back in '96, sharing the bed, hey, with you
And I know we, ain't always see eye to eye
But I'm grown, and still looking up to you
How could I leave you behind? (You!)
(Behind)
Look how far we done climbed (Look how far you done climbed)
Since 1995 (Nineteen, ninety-five)
Ay, look at this family
The concrete to the '84 Camry
To where we're at now, I got a legacy to handle
Tell Grace, I'ma be a better brother
Tell mama, I don't say enough I love her
Tell dad, he was right all along
He just delivered it wrong
Tell my grandparents, wait, I'ma just call them myself
Ay, you know your boy's grown
Getting on his bankroll
Moving out my parents' home
In my father's Volvo
Memory Lane like every road
In all these cities that we roamed
SoCal to Jersey
I'm out in Philly, and that was your zone
Out west in the east, by train to where I was conceived
Four of y'all to a bed, saw it fog when you breathed
Mama, you ain't gotta worry
Grandma, you ain't gotta worry
Y'all been too damn smart
For me to not obtain the glory
