This is a very personal song of mine. I don't expect people to understand it and I don't care, it's simply my art and expression. All of the audio at the end are from entertainers who meant a lot to me during my youth and the girl during the hook is a childhood classmate who also did YouTube and it was meant to represent the innocent mind of the youth and how we used to be so joyful and whimsy in our life, with me keeping that energy even after my youth concluded.
Lyrics:
[Hook]
Where’s the old ████?
Mood swings and his money?
With the aspiration
To change generations!
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Getting inspiration
From past generations
[Verse 1]
I believe I can send so much to the globe
Just with code, tech and then press the button to upload
Time is sold going by look outside seeing ghosts
Dying souls of places and folks that I used to know
Ties in with how I’m missing all those days ago
Lies and sin makes me think of friends lacking those
My heroine is our laughs and our olds convos
Us dreaming of our goals while we’re stacking dough
In the other zone I gaze and I cope
With the fact that it’s all been gone gated closed
Shit hits the fan demand is zero
And then later on we see all the clones
Generation cold nothing is original
All on the 'Gram no prototypicals
Did my peers follow sue and just adhere?
It’s weird cause I feel like the only person from that time still here
[Hook]
Where’s the old ████?
Mood swings and his money?
With the aspiration
To change generations!
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Getting inspiration
From past generations
[Verse 2]
(I believe) Elementary is all about simplicity
Feeling the vibes around what surrounds all of we
Seeing and reviewing taking in the scenery
Deciding what is clean what is unsightly
Giving our opinion so bold no boundaries
Living in our own world dome so primary
Think we need to speak our truth as it is
Never hiding honesty being free like a kid
Say it how is bright mild even dim
Articulate in ways to display who you been
Never being shy don’t comply chime in
Never got why we did the opposite
Take the brush do not rush get to painting
Wait for others to realise you’re differing
From the greyscale from the black and white
My personality vibrant shines bright in my rhymes right?
[Hook]
Where’s the old ████?
Mood swings and his money? (ooooh)
With the aspiration
To change generations! (ooooh)
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Getting inspiration (ooooh)
From past generations
[Verse 3]
Real talk we gotta start doing walks
Not content that keeps us all content
Experiment with the arts and our heart
Maybe my inner child never died off
Despite so many things that are gone
Friends that used to plant my eyes with stars
Cinemas that were so Machinima
Or even hearing that jingle from a Skype call
So locked in with all of my music
I didn’t even realise my past was deficit
Fading away disappears day by day
All I have is memories that I still play
Stayed in my lane always gonna be an artist
Making things sharing all whether loved or jitted
Proud that doubt was never in my brain
Probably cause I looked up to people who were the same
[Hook]
Where’s the old ████?
Mood swings and his money? (ooooh)
With the aspiration
To change generations! (ooooh)
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Getting inspiration (ooooh)
From past generations
Where’s the old ████?
Mood swings and his money? (ooooh)
With the aspiration
To change generations! (ooooh)
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Getting inspiration (ooooh)
From past generations
[Outro]
Lonely in memories
Dead is that reality
Stay true to your passions
Make them ever lasting
Lonely in memories
Dead is that reality
Stay true to your passions
Make them ever lasting
Where’s the old young sonny?
████ just as funny
Stay true to your passions
Make them ever lasting
Lonely in memories
Dead is that reality
Stay true to your passions
Make them ever lasting
