Bro Drew, this is real asf. Damn man, I love this song. I read your description and that is so emotional bro. It is truly a special track, but also painful and sad too, as you mention. Nostalgia can feel like that - a strange mix of emotions, for example one can be happy they experienced those good times, but also sad that they ended and life moved on. Your music is so authentic, and always raw and from the heart. The beat is very well placed with your lyrics and vice versa - it reflects the mood so perfectly. Keep up the great work my friend. Much love to you Drew. RESPECT. 💜💜💜
Awesome work man beautiful nostalgic vibes...you took me back to the 90s when things were super chill and simple..deeply introspective lyrics..very well written and delivered 👏👏 perfect old-school beat 🥁🥁 respect G

Yes bro, Drew never a miss, the personal tracks that are reminiscent of the past, always the best ones, wish we had those years run again, nostalgic memories are never lost when you document them, pass them down to the next gen, all historic, love it😎

Man, nostalgia hits hard! This song really does take me back to a simpler time. Even though those moments didn't seem quite as simple back then. Great job! I really dig it!
Bro I am extremely grateful that you took the time to listen, that you liked the song, and for your comment my friend thank you so much!!🙏🙏🫶‼️👊 And you are correct that it didn’t necessarily seem like a simpler time in those moments Probably will be similar looking back on today at some point for many of us 🤔
@@D-Reality this song has brought tears to my own eyes about a dozen times at this point It means so much to me and the fact that you could feel it also to that degree is a fucking blessing and a gift bro There’s so much I didn’t say or address that I still felt while creating this, that is woven into it and I swear you’re picking up on all of it Also interpreting it in your own way and with your own experiences holy shit thank you so much for expressing this here to me and being part of it! ✊🙏🙏🙏💪🫡🫶
“Cold Chicago morinings, fighting with my broths sister over warm vents” right away hitting with that real shit and rhyming morning with warm vents? Fuck yeah!! Beat feel perfect for this, artwork sets the mood, and damn I miss the 90s too! Shit was so simple back then! Awesome song!
Bro fr it was a good time man. For all of us that lived it - feels like yesterday. For those who didn’t - they’ll never know. Thanks for the love homie! 🙏✊💯🫶
What’s crazy is I am his sister and that vent line is 100% fact!! Nothing like a burning metal vent on your butt in the cold and telling your siblings to go find a different one.
@@sarahanteliz575 haha man I never sat on them like that but I swear I remember you doing that lol Definitely would tell you and Aaron to find your own vents though 🤣🤣🤣
This is exceptional work man a instant classic for me I’ve listened like 6 times dude it hits home plus the writing, cadence, and rhyme schemes just makes this stand out 💯💯💯
@@dodgenone420 yo that’s such a huge compliment and so kind of you to say! I appreciate you for coming through and showing love like that I’m truly grateful fam! Respect bro🙏🙏🙏✊🫶‼️🫡
Reminiscing… remembering… yeah this hits home 💯 “Time is moving too fast to even ask - where did it go ??” So relatable. I love the laid back style , the realness of this track . The clarity of your voice and delivery of the lyrics is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🙌🏼🎙️😍 🤩👏🫶🏻
Thank you I really appreciate it! This one definitely has lot of sentimental significance for me. Is good and also somewhat painful to listen to. Glad you connected with it 🙏🙏🙏🫶
I love it. That house holds a lot of good and a lot of hard. I wish your nephews had some of the simplicity we had back then (it never felt so fast paced!!!) but I’m glad they don’t have the same drama.
@@sarahanteliz575 yeah seriously I get a whirlwind of feelings and emotions from the picture alone. The snow effect makes it feel surreal for me. Like literally looking in on our household on some random winter day during that time period. If feels alive like I can step through the screen and right back to those times. People saying the “ artwork “ is perfect lol And I understand what they mean, but this was from our actual childhood and life! It’s not artwork in that sense it’s just a peace of reality. Thanks for taking the time to listen!
Yooo, Drew, this was fya. I loved your chorus a lot because that was a fire tornadoe right there. I also feel that your message here resonates a lot with what im going through. I grew up in the 2000s, where we were going through the same shit you were going through, but I miss it, and I would have never foresaw that shit would hit the fan like it did. I also wish that I could go back in time to do things i wish I had done differently and appreciate what i had. Thanks for sharing this. It really touched my soul.
Thank you for your kindness. Thanks for taking the time to listen to so many of my songs and for leaving such incredible feedback. Great to connect with someone artistically that way! ❤ Like two souls speaking through the music 🎶 Truly is a gift and a blessing!! 🙏🙏🙏‼️🔥💯👊❤️
?????? WHAT THE FUCK??????? Brother this writing and even delivery is pure madness, for how long did you work on this????? HUH??? Man that line about the teacher's note, your punchlines are exactly what I need I mean brother your experience just shines in this one song I'm gonna be honest Times change though... that's sad man :( I didn't go through all of this stuff yet in my own life, but yeah, time can be a bitch
I’m really grateful for your support and enthusiasm and encouragement every time you express it to me man it’s the kind of thing that makes it even worth it I seriously mean that - thank you Count my brother!! ✊🙏🫶
Hell yeah……..it’s like we all lived the same childhood. I remember my 1st day of public school I didn’t know wtf style was in the 3rd grade. And I was rockin LA Gear shoes 😂 day 1 I was like why you send me to school like this ma? Young & invincible……& in a lot of ways you are
@@Nocsucal-BeatGod that is such a perfect way of putting it bro!! 💯🙏🙏✊🫶‼️ I was rocking LA Gear even in Chicago at one point I think lol 😆 Love this comment thanks bro! 👊
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic definitely. So strange some of the complexes I had growing up. I wouldn’t eat in front of girl until I was 16. I thought everyone looked like fkn animals eating, so figured I did too. All of em would come to hangout w/ me at lunch & so I’d end up starving. And coming from a private school until 3rd grade I wouldn’t fight under any circumstances. Because i didn’t want to fight in front anyone. But also too scared of consequences. So some of those years got bullied, like paying my lunch $$ even to tiny dudes I knew I’d beat the brakes off of. Until I was 14 & had no choice. Really hurt this kid & also broke his arm. But I was forced to fight so got in no trouble. But would’ve if I meant to break his arm. Because of the extreme violent nature of it. They asked me if I meant to I said no 🤞🏻& all was cool. I didn’t give a fk from then on. And my fkn insane brother constantly beating the ever living fk out of me. Like viscous. I bet I have some degree of CTE from concussions. Has stabbed me, tried to run me over. I knew I’d fk him up too. But, having to live in same house gotta sleep at some point yeah……fear alone will lay you down. Can be the right thing sometimes. He was seriously too crzy to buck back. But living as someone’s personal piñata I wasn’t scared of fkn shtt outside the house. Outside the house everyone got it 🤣
Wow man always just left amazed with your lyricism and storytelling abilities and how you seem to be able to paint a picture with your words! Can really feel the emotion in this, time is such a morherfucker man ha Would be nice to be able to go back and fix anything or at least live in the time again when everything was so carefree as a kid Plus like your one verse the 90s were a good time loved me some arnold movies and wrestling back then oooh man was just a teenager in early 2000 so wrestling back then I was like what I grew up on and it was such a fun time Anyway got sidetracked but really amazing song really emotional and profound lyrics, real relatable definitely wish I could go back and see some of the people lost to fights or death etc etc
Shit man I feel you fr it’s so easy to think back to even decades ago and have it feel like it was just yesterday Yeah I would love to go slap the shit out of my younger self for all the dumb decisions I made seriously lol I definitely put alot of my heart and soul and real life into this track though so your feedback means the world bro thank you!! ✊🫶💯💯🫡
@DrewTheGeniusMusic you can definitely hear and feel it through the track. A really stellar job is always man Also I hear you about slapping your younger self haha, but at the same time I have an alright life these days in alot of aspects besides money ha & maybe I couldn't have got here without before
@ yes bro I think about this too The good things that we also would potentially change by going back and fixing our mistakes Better to learn from the mistakes of the past and focus on what we can do today and in the future Hope you’re having a good Christmas bro! 🫶💯🙏
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic wise words right there man, also appreciate that! celebrated with my family Monday, wife's family Tuesday and then back to her sisters this morning for a breakfast. Was nice seeing everyone for sure Hope you had a great one as well and it continues to the new year and after

@@tecmowbeats596 tbh man it’s crazy how many people across different generations felt connected to this song and nah fam I don’t mean to diminish your comment at all I actually have a couple artist friends who are about 23 years old who I know feel exactly the same way as I’m expressing in this song and tbh you’re old enough to remember a different time for sure and yeah you were a 90’s baby so you got a taste of even that decade fr But yeah maybe it’s something with technology more and more in our lives Idk shit just feels different I appreciate you bro ✊🙏🫶
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic The internet and technology has made a massive change on our society. I remember when smartphones didn't exist, we used to have flip phones and there was no touch screens lol. I appreciate you too bro! Life is a journey fr brother ❤🔥🙏
I'm a different MaTT DoDD new on here lol.. But naw for real this is a dope ass song damn sure has that old school vibe from the 90's and sounds very clean luv how you talked about your school days and all the 90's references nice touch bro...

Yeah, we wore knock-offs in da city! I remember drawing a NIKE swoosh on my shoes, fk is yall talmBout?! One time I did get some Jordan's though! Got lucky.... some blowout sale, basket full of shoes that was affordable enough! Only problem, they were too small! I wore tF outta them anyways, until my toes got a corn! Word.... 😶🌫️🌌
@@D-Reality haha thanks for this comment and for sharing that I love it bro Drawing the Nike symbol on 🤣 The fake pumps were kinda wack tbh lol Jordan’s in the bargain bin damn that’s what’s up that’s a come up They were too small, wore ‘em anyway, got a corn 😭😭😭
@@D-Reality you know what’s funny though is I felt weird talking about how we were poor then but showing this nice looking house It really was a broke down abused piece of shit that they worked hard to fix up and money was always tight as fuck But I want to stress that we always managed to have enough food to eat, we had knock off and hand me down clothes but I didn’t really know the difference, and my house felt like a fucking castle to me I didn’t even know we were “poor” until I got older and my mom told me the stories of how much our parents actually struggled to stretch checks and have what we needed and make it enough Then there’s people who had it far far worse It wasn’t bad, it was normal and really the best times We were blessed fr I didn’t really see the worst of the streets and the city of Chicago until I started kicking it out west & yada yada around 14 and on Anyway I’m just going on bro Thanks again for sharing and everything g you know!! 👊🙏🙏🙏🫶💯
@@D-Reality yo one more thing I want to say Recently a guy said something that stuck with me He said get nostalgic about today And for both of us that may be difficult because of certain people and relationships that are strained and/or completely missing 😔 But - the point is still valid Find a way to be nostalgic about today Because today is only tomorrow’s yesterday anyway ya feel me I’m trying at least
@@DrewTheGeniusMusicI didn't feel any type of way about the house in the picture. My kinfolk had a house in the city (not the suburbs) and the house/land is over a million dollars. There was a time when the INSIDE of that house was HOOD. Rats, roaches, broken shhyt everywhere. Decent area, a block away from "the spot". Much of Chicago is really a Utopia. I knew people who came from money, and still was out in the streets.... so I don't look at stuff like most do
@@DrewTheGeniusMusicget nostalgic about today is a powerful quote. Makes sense..... by doing shhyt like this, it releases a bunch of feel-good chemicals in the brain. I walk around soooo fk'n HIGH that it sometimes hurts! You know how some people cry because they won big money? Yeah... something like that! I have my dull moments though. You're welcome, and thanks for sharing that. I add stuff like that to my mental playlist. Blessings big guy🫡
The 90’s -
Verse 1 -
I remember cold Chicago winter - mornin’s
Fightin with my brother and sister -
over warm vents
Hovering over ‘em - on the floor just
Try to get some heat
Cause we was poor then
So we kept the house freezin while we sleep til dawn then
We shivering, yawnin
Mom would put the heat back on and
We getting ready for school
I’m lacing up my Jordan’s
I’m playin witchoo cause we couldn’t afford ‘em
Hell no
But once I think I had some shell toes
And the white Nikes with the red swoosh
But I wore them - bitches out
Unless I hit the court then - of course it’s
generic pumps
I was swearing up - and down that they was Reeboks
But we been rockin knock offs since knee socks
With the colored stripes on ‘em
My favorite time of year was summertime and autumn
I’m jumpin in my time machine to go back
Before I had so many problems
The 90’s
That’s where you’ll find me
I swear to God I’m
Hook -
Wishing I could go back to the 90’s
When everybody that I love
Was still alive livin life
Seemed like nothin would change
But then it did
And ever since it’s never been the same
Oh God I didn’t know
That everything was temporary
Now I get it though
Time is moving too fast
To even ask
Where did it go?
Everything was simple then
Nothing can be simple though - now
Clock speedin up
Can’t get it to slow - down
Verse - 2
Centerfolds, Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, Riddick Bowe, Bo Jackson,
Arnold Schwarzenegger in the cinema
Cinnabon in the food court
Karate Kid, foosball, Too Short
Mama made some chocolate chip cookie dough
Mixed it in a bowl
I’m bout to get my bike
And hit the open road
Hope I don’t - miss a call
From Melissa though
That was my crush
Like the orange soda
Shovin unfinished homework
In a torn folder
Parents pissed off cause I’m more vulgar
My teachers hate me too
Ain’t a thing that they could do
To get through to Drew
And this way before you
Was yellin at Dad and Mom
To give back the iPad and I’m
Just trying to go back
To a time I wasn’t so sad
What if I break the clock
Can I make it stop
I think not
So I blaze some pot
Take a shot
Say thanks to God
For what I’ve got
And keep it movin
Entire life is like a teacher’s note
Needs improvement
Working for my future but sometimes I’m
Hook -

Man, nostalgia hits hard! This song really does take me back to a simpler time. Even though those moments didn't seem quite as simple back then. Great job! I really dig it!
Sparty!!! 🙋Aye Drew! This my bro Sparty! He is technically #667 ♾️💜 He a good dude. Glad y'all met! 🌪️✨✨✨⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥♾️👊💜
Bro I am extremely grateful that you took the time to listen, that you liked the song, and for your comment my friend thank you so much!!🙏🙏🫶‼️👊
And you are correct that it didn’t necessarily seem like a simpler time in those moments
Probably will be similar looking back on today at some point for many of us 🤔
Really cool and chill vibes! Excellent production 👍👍👍👏👏👏
@@keyamusica thank you! 🙏✊❤️
Dang... I shed tears to this. That makes me feel extremely dangerous. Im chillin tho.... THANKZ DREW!! 🖤🫡
@@D-Reality this song has brought tears to my own eyes about a dozen times at this point
It means so much to me and the fact that you could feel it also to that degree is a fucking blessing and a gift bro
There’s so much I didn’t say or address that I still felt while creating this, that is woven into it and I swear you’re picking up on all of it
Also interpreting it in your own way and with your own experiences holy shit thank you so much for expressing this here to me and being part of it! ✊🙏🙏🙏💪🫡🫶
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic you're welcome Drew, but THANK YOU! 🏆

Sheesh Drew, the nostalgia on this is unreal. Dope bars and flow, created a classic laa 🔥
I’m glad you appreciated it bro fr especially cause we’re about the exact same age! Thank you 🙏 🫶🙏🙏🙏💪
“Cold Chicago morinings, fighting with my broths sister over warm vents” right away hitting with that real shit and rhyming morning with warm vents? Fuck yeah!! Beat feel perfect for this, artwork sets the mood, and damn I miss the 90s too! Shit was so simple back then! Awesome song!
Bro fr it was a good time man. For all of us that lived it - feels like yesterday. For those who didn’t - they’ll never know.
Thanks for the love homie! 🙏✊💯🫶
What’s crazy is I am his sister and that vent line is 100% fact!! Nothing like a burning metal vent on your butt in the cold and telling your siblings to go find a different one.
@@sarahanteliz575 haha man I never sat on them like that but I swear I remember you doing that lol
Definitely would tell you and Aaron to find your own vents though 🤣🤣🤣
This is exceptional work man a instant classic for me I’ve listened like 6 times dude it hits home plus the writing, cadence, and rhyme schemes just makes this stand out 💯💯💯

I love it. That house holds a lot of good and a lot of hard. I wish your nephews had some of the simplicity we had back then (it never felt so fast paced!!!) but I’m glad they don’t have the same drama.
@@sarahanteliz575 yeah seriously I get a whirlwind of feelings and emotions from the picture alone.
The snow effect makes it feel surreal for me. Like literally looking in on our household on some random winter day during that time period.
If feels alive like I can step through the screen and right back to those times.
People saying the “ artwork “ is perfect lol
And I understand what they mean, but this was from our actual childhood and life!
It’s not artwork in that sense it’s just a peace of reality.
Thanks for taking the time to listen!
Yooo, Drew, this was fya. I loved your chorus a lot because that was a fire tornadoe right there. I also feel that your message here resonates a lot with what im going through. I grew up in the 2000s, where we were going through the same shit you were going through, but I miss it, and I would have never foresaw that shit would hit the fan like it did. I also wish that I could go back in time to do things i wish I had done differently and appreciate what i had. Thanks for sharing this. It really touched my soul.
Thank you for your kindness. Thanks for taking the time to listen to so many of my songs and for leaving such incredible feedback.
Great to connect with someone artistically that way! ❤
Like two souls speaking through the music 🎶

Appreciate it a lot! 👊❤️🔥💯🙏🙏🙏
Super Dope Been Wishing The Same thing For Years 🔥🔥
Shit fam sounds about right, thanks bro!! 🙏🙏❤️🔥💯✊
Hell yeah……..it’s like we all lived the same childhood. I remember my 1st day of public school I didn’t know wtf style was in the 3rd grade. And I was rockin LA Gear shoes 😂 day 1 I was like why you send me to school like this ma? Young & invincible……& in a lot of ways you are
@@Nocsucal-BeatGod that is such a perfect way of putting it bro!! 💯🙏🙏✊🫶‼️
I was rocking LA Gear even in Chicago at one point I think lol 😆
Love this comment thanks bro! 👊
@ ha……yeah I got bullied asf over those shoes. Ma had to get her boy right. Until she saw that # $ 🤣
😭😭😭 Builds character lol
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic definitely. So strange some of the complexes I had growing up. I wouldn’t eat in front of girl until I was 16. I thought everyone looked like fkn animals eating, so figured I did too. All of em would come to hangout w/ me at lunch & so I’d end up starving. And coming from a private school until 3rd grade I wouldn’t fight under any circumstances. Because i didn’t want to fight in front anyone. But also too scared of consequences. So some of those years got bullied, like paying my lunch $$ even to tiny dudes I knew I’d beat the brakes off of. Until I was 14 & had no choice. Really hurt this kid & also broke his arm. But I was forced to fight so got in no trouble. But would’ve if I meant to break his arm. Because of the extreme violent nature of it. They asked me if I meant to I said no 🤞🏻& all was cool. I didn’t give a fk from then on. And my fkn insane brother constantly beating the ever living fk out of me. Like viscous. I bet I have some degree of CTE from concussions. Has stabbed me, tried to run me over. I knew I’d fk him up too. But, having to live in same house gotta sleep at some point yeah……fear alone will lay you down. Can be the right thing sometimes. He was seriously too crzy to buck back. But living as someone’s personal piñata I wasn’t scared of fkn shtt outside the house. Outside the house everyone got it 🤣
this is cold brother love how smooth ur flow and delivery was this that real life shit keep shining bro
@@2trappybeats thank you so much I’m glad you liked it bro!! 👊💯🙏✊🫶🇺🇸🇬🇧‼️
Love this, brother.
Legend in the house!! Thanks you for your kindness I’m grateful!! 🫶💯🙏🙏
Dope vibes bro, nice work! 🔥
You a mf real one fam thank you!! 💯👊🫶🙏🙏🙏
Wow man always just left amazed with your lyricism and storytelling abilities and how you seem to be able to paint a picture with your words!
Can really feel the emotion in this, time is such a morherfucker man ha
Would be nice to be able to go back and fix anything or at least live in the time again when everything was so carefree as a kid
Plus like your one verse the 90s were a good time loved me some arnold movies and wrestling back then oooh man was just a teenager in early 2000 so wrestling back then I was like what I grew up on and it was such a fun time
Anyway got sidetracked but really amazing song really emotional and profound lyrics, real relatable definitely wish I could go back and see some of the people lost to fights or death etc etc
Shit man I feel you fr it’s so easy to think back to even decades ago and have it feel like it was just yesterday
Yeah I would love to go slap the shit out of my younger self for all the dumb decisions I made seriously lol
I definitely put alot of my heart and soul and real life into this track though so your feedback means the world bro thank you!! ✊🫶💯💯🫡
@DrewTheGeniusMusic you can definitely hear and feel it through the track.
A really stellar job is always man
Also I hear you about slapping your younger self haha, but at the same time I have an alright life these days in alot of aspects besides money ha & maybe I couldn't have got here without before
@ yes bro I think about this too
The good things that we also would potentially change by going back and fixing our mistakes
Better to learn from the mistakes of the past and focus on what we can do today and in the future
Hope you’re having a good Christmas bro! 🫶💯🙏
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic wise words right there man, also appreciate that!
celebrated with my family Monday, wife's family Tuesday and then back to her sisters this morning for a breakfast. Was nice seeing everyone for sure
Hope you had a great one as well and it continues to the new year and after
Amazing work bro! Your flows are soo dope! I'm from 1996, this is a sweet fuckin' vibe bro! 🔥🔥🔥🙏💯
Thank you bro I appreciate you a lot man!! 🫶🙏💯💯
Shit, I was 15 in 1996 lol
Was a good time though fr
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic Right I arrived kinda late lol. Guess I'm a deep millennial 😂 I don't think trap genre kicked off till 2010 I believe. YBF has been vibin' hard with those 50 beats! I seen you were there bro✊❤🔥
@@tecmowbeats596 tbh man it’s crazy how many people across different generations felt connected to this song and nah fam I don’t mean to diminish your comment at all
I actually have a couple artist friends who are about 23 years old who I know feel exactly the same way as I’m expressing in this song and tbh you’re old enough to remember a different time for sure and yeah you were a 90’s baby so you got a taste of even that decade fr
But yeah maybe it’s something with technology more and more in our lives Idk shit just feels different
I appreciate you bro ✊🙏🫶
@@DrewTheGeniusMusic The internet and technology has made a massive change on our society. I remember when smartphones didn't exist, we used to have flip phones and there was no touch screens lol. I appreciate you too bro! Life is a journey fr brother ❤🔥🙏
I'm a different MaTT DoDD new on here lol.. But naw for real this is a dope ass song damn sure has that old school vibe from the 90's and sounds very clean luv how you talked about your school days and all the 90's references nice touch bro...
I have love for all Matt Dodds on this channel
lol
Thanks a lot for the support and kind words it means a lot bro!!
I will always try and return the support any time I can much love!!! 💯✊❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏

Time traveling bro 🔥🔥🔥
Dope as fuk homie, this is timeless 💯💯💯
One more song of yours which goes to my real hip hop list OG 🎹🎧🤜🏼🤛🏼🖤🎤
@@MadBulletBeatz wow bro I am truly grateful for that level of love and support!!
Thank you truly! You’re a legend to me!
Legendary producer with legendary character 🫶💯🏆
Yeah, we wore knock-offs in da city! I remember drawing a NIKE swoosh on my shoes, fk is yall talmBout?! One time I did get some Jordan's though! Got lucky.... some blowout sale, basket full of shoes that was affordable enough! Only problem, they were too small! I wore tF outta them anyways, until my toes got a corn! Word.... 😶🌫️🌌
@@D-Reality haha thanks for this comment and for sharing that I love it bro
Drawing the Nike symbol on 🤣
The fake pumps were kinda wack tbh lol
Jordan’s in the bargain bin damn that’s what’s up that’s a come up
They were too small, wore ‘em anyway, got a corn 😭😭😭
@@D-Reality you know what’s funny though is I felt weird talking about how we were poor then but showing this nice looking house
It really was a broke down abused piece of shit that they worked hard to fix up and money was always tight as fuck
But I want to stress that we always managed to have enough food to eat, we had knock off and hand me down clothes but I didn’t really know the difference, and my house felt like a fucking castle to me
I didn’t even know we were “poor” until I got older and my mom told me the stories of how much our parents actually struggled to stretch checks and have what we needed and make it enough
Then there’s people who had it far far worse
It wasn’t bad, it was normal and really the best times
We were blessed fr
I didn’t really see the worst of the streets and the city of Chicago until I started kicking it out west & yada yada around 14 and on
Anyway I’m just going on bro
Thanks again for sharing and everything g you know!! 👊🙏🙏🙏🫶💯
@@D-Reality yo one more thing I want to say
Recently a guy said something that stuck with me
He said get nostalgic about today
And for both of us that may be difficult because of certain people and relationships that are strained and/or completely missing 😔
But - the point is still valid
Find a way to be nostalgic about today
Because today is only tomorrow’s yesterday anyway ya feel me
I’m trying at least
@@DrewTheGeniusMusicI didn't feel any type of way about the house in the picture. My kinfolk had a house in the city (not the suburbs) and the house/land is over a million dollars. There was a time when the INSIDE of that house was HOOD. Rats, roaches, broken shhyt everywhere. Decent area, a block away from "the spot". Much of Chicago is really a Utopia.
I knew people who came from money, and still was out in the streets.... so I don't look at stuff like most do
@@DrewTheGeniusMusicget nostalgic about today is a powerful quote. Makes sense..... by doing shhyt like this, it releases a bunch of feel-good chemicals in the brain. I walk around soooo fk'n HIGH that it sometimes hurts! You know how some people cry because they won big money? Yeah... something like that! I have my dull moments though.
You're welcome, and thanks for sharing that. I add stuff like that to my mental playlist. Blessings big guy🫡
amazing beat my friend🔥 also check out my latest remix! like #76
Thank you very much bro I appreciate you! 💯🙏🫶
