(Yeah, check it out it goes like this yo)it's the warmth when it's cold and it's storming, it's drifting off to the sound of rain, it's getting up kicking goals in the morning, it's lifting off from the ground with your flame, it's the strength with stand life lessons, it's the clock as the hands strike seconds, it's my movie where every memory is a colour I collect to expand my spectrum.
[Verse 1:]
It's the simple days, childhood here and now then it's gone in a instant, back when the wall around my world was a little to high to see beyond in the distance, it's the smell of the mint in my fresh grass, a little league in the time that I'm so free, it's snow days, midachellow? park with a sledge in the hills and were flying through oak trees, it's the kid who collects cards back in 91 summertime comming out the storem, it's the fact that his rapping is pact put a smile on his dial cause' hes scorin the jordan, past times I hold em dear it's merian vergina bold and clear the way the leaves on his trees and the streets would fall and the fall all to paint my golden years and yeah
[Chorus:]
When the skies grey, I live off light rays, I've waited every day, until my lifes pain. I've gone through my eyes. I've covered outside the lines, tryna hold these golden years that are flashing by, when the skies grey, I live off light rays, I've waited every day, until my lifes pain. I've gone through my eyes. I've covered outside the lines, tryna hold these golden years that are flashing by
[Verse 2:]
It's a bumpy road, tryna stear through the years of a genius, can't conseal what I feel this is real and the deal is that heals are the tears from a pheonix and I remember those days with my dad in the great outdoors getting raised by the land, not knowing how hard life gets call me huckelberry when I start my quest, so jump on my cloud, sit back and lounge, my wings are the size of a rich rappers house, I'll never leave so piture a viking who's memory is like christian meliya, that was me going town to town on fire works nuh' you could'ntcount me out, my mates older brothers had a hundred of these buggers take cover cause' we nearly burnt down the house, I remember when they took away my wootang, sittin' there till the bell of my school rang, playing pool on the pool where the rules are abused my adventure the the centre where the yuth-ang, and grandma's we'd visit every journy, a livingroom stage where id mimic Eddie Murphy or kid and play and play delirious so damn much they could'nttake me serious
[Chorus:]
When the skies grey, I live off light rays, I've waited every day, until my lifes pain. I've gone through my eyes. I've covered outside the lines, tryna hold these golden years that are flashing by, when the skies grey, I live off light rays, I've waited every day, until my lifes pain. I've gone through my eyes. I've covered outside the lines, tryna hold these golden years that are flashing by.
