Memory Cards Lyrics by Nantes

Darker Than Black

2020

".....I depsise the idea of family. Mostly because of what occured within in my own. How broken we are and it prevents me from having a family of my own and I had the chance to..."

[Verse 1]
Y’all got the game fucked up in '00
Nigga ain’t got no morals, the bangin' in full effect
My family keep me from it
I'm bouncin' between the sets
Parental guidance went missing, murdered without a witness
Grandchildren kickin' the carriage, Granny was in the kitchen
Golden hour, cookin' up dinner was livid about the dishes
Siblings goin round on PlayStation
Playin Tekken and tappin' buttons corrеlatin' to the moves
Applyin' combos that laceratе and bruise the opponent
Older brother swing the controller screamin' out, "Who want it next?"
Granny hands cut off the console wit ease
Kuz it’s bout 6:30 and it’s time to eat
Never had an appetite for the fakest façade
And that’s what this family is
Just a front for the portraits
Mental health decaying slow but that shit ain’t important
So my footfalls are silent as I trek to my room
This my only safe haven from the pressures of hypocrisy
A generational curse and the burden of mediocrity
Awkwardly reaching out to the kids at school
Peer pressure is for the pussies who can't toke or pull
But fuck it, I don’t smoke don’t do nothin' that elicits a whooping
Yea was still gettin' those
If trouble found me, that shit'll have me petrified
Traumatized from them beatings for nothin'
Kuz I smiled hard
Kuz I’m bein a kid
See that’s illegal round here
Where the smiles are plastic and the secrets are hidden
The truth don’t exist unless it corrupted
That’s why I'm tryna make friends kuz y'all love mean nothin

[Hook]
Old friends, please don't fade
Old friends, please don't fade kuz when you leave
I'm all alone
Just got your memories when you're gone (Oh no no no no)
So if you ever meant something to me
You'll always be alive in my memories
If you ever meant something to me
You'll always be alive in my memories

[Verse 2]
The suns idles above while the kids play ball
I was sittin' alone wit my back to the fence
Eyes heavy wit tears and my heart full of envy
They smiles so real and mine was fake and empty
It hurt more that you taught me
Kuz yours is empty
I wanna see you happy but you dead inside
Layin' in a tomb wit who a digger who exhumes your corpse for the valuable organs then you lose
A piece of yourself inside that sarcophagus buried deep
Inside of a Pyramid wit them married men
Common sense went missin' in the tea bitches spilled
More gossip more problems
And the truth get you killed
That’s why I hate it here
You right here but still not there so when the shit the fan we right in its crosshairs so what the fuck (censored)?

[Hook]
Old friends, please don't fade
Old friends, please don't fade kuz when you leave
I'm all alone
Just got your memories when you're gone (Oh no no no no)
So if you ever meant something to me (You had better know)
You'll always be alive in my memories (You will always be right here)
If you ever meant something to me (You had better know)
You'll always be alive in my memories (You had better know)
(You had better know)
(You had better know)

"...but I sabotaged that kuz I'm bitter and hateful. Yea. And I don't want this bitterness to be passed to my son. You know? And there aren't too many good words I can use to describe myself as a father..."
