Nostalgia Lyrics by Roy Rutto

Pronoia

2020

[Chorus]
I try to recreate those golden moments
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
[Verse 1]
A 68 Bug to the flyest Ford Focus
Fly away from the vultures, giving hope to the hopeless
Setting myself apart from all these malicious locals
Use my family name til Mr. Rutto is mogul
Building my fathers land with pushing poems & vocals
Blessing momma a grand for being my biggest fan
When everything hit the fan
I had to switch up the plan
Had to grow to man
Had to flip me a gram
But Mary ain’t got the profit these days
The tooth fairy took a smile then she pocket the pay
Ay, I won’t sleep til I find the hay
Hustle like a broke nigga
Hustle like I'm running on fumes of little faith, nigga
I’m trying to recreate those golden moments
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
Seems like I ain’t got the feds for it but I still try
[Bridge]
Beautiful nostalgia, I try to recreate
Seems like I ain’t the hands for it
But I got a voice mothafucka
[Chorus]
I try to recreate those golden moments
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
[Verse 2]
If I could time travel, I would take us back to 2010
Back when Mom’s blood pressure never woke me up again
Back when Pop’s anger never showed itself to little Roy
When all I knew was all I knew, cereals & cartoons
Ben 10 on-demand, shit I never had
A house with a brick wall & a shit stall
I guess shit stalled in the home with a brick wall
When the law dawgs came by knocking on the door
Christmas lights came way too early
Santa elves never rang bells so worried
Shit, is that a gun? I hope it’s my imagination
I’m here for fun, I wasn’t ready for my damnation
Reality bit me like a Rottweiler
I couldn’t lie even if I had a ghostwriter
The movies had the palm trees & the Dodge Viper
My movie stars burnt trees & a rude liar
[Bridge]
Beautiful nostalgia, I try to recreate
Seems like I ain’t the hands for it
But I got a voice mothafucka
[Chorus]
I try to recreate those golden moments
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
Seems like I ain’t got the hands for it
[Outro]
I shine, we shine (we roll)
My time, your time (we know)
I go, we roll (we go)
My time, his time (gone)
I shine, we shine
My time, your time
I go, we roll
My time, his time, ay
