Kyle sent me this beat from Mac’s “Another Night” and said “let’s write something to this reminiscing about the high school days and growing up.” This was one of the first projects we ever put together. We wrote and recorded this in my bedroom at my parents house in one night. You can listen to the rest of University of Thoughts here.
ZDeus Lyrics:
Glorify me, am I crazy? Depict it in sum.
A little off on the lately where my rituals run.
I started straying off the path to where my future began.
And now I’m looking to the past, thinking back as a man.
You know its crazy…
Relate things back to what raised me.
Drinking monster in the summer till that sugar high dazed me.
Practiced kick flips ‘till we passed out, and laid in the grass.
And that time we lit a fire from a can filled gas.
Damn.
Hit up the myspace page if you gotta reach me.
And I’m heading to the park right now if you wanna see me.
Life as a kid, but now were making it big.
Couldn’t imagine all these things that we finally did.
As the world keeps spinning, I’m grinning, It’s going on.
Been a long time coming my friend, since it was drawn.
And, We’re just reflecting on past days,
So passé - but we still carry the same ways.
Bet I write this with my heart, Persevered throughout the past.
Preserve my memories, To put my childhood on blast.
So we just sit here reminiscing and shit,
And sometimes I get to thinking how I’m missing this shit.
Dim the lights down slow, so I can wander a bit.
See, the timeline in my mind - it leaves me with this:
If I could see into the future,
I’d take the past for what it is…
