I wanna go back to when we were trading Pokémon cards, getting up on Saturday morning to watch cartoons, when R. Kelly was beefing with Mr. Biggs, when having to be home before the street lights came on or that was my ass, when everyone in the neighborhood knew each other

When playing water gun fights, hide and seek, nicca knock and kick the can all wouldn’t get us killed, when falling in love felt genuine instead of competitive, when going swimming was a family function instead of dropping ya kids off with other kids children

When holidays felt like Home Sweet Home, when having an opinion wasn’t down playing someone else, when music changed your mood to good instead of bad, when men called women Queens and women saw nothing but a King when they saw their man

When we would battle between the Blue and Red Pokémon cartridge on the GameBoy, when nobody knew their favorite celebrity, when all we had to do is say I miss you and it felt REAL!
