Akira The Don
Newstalgia
[Verse 1: Time]
I give everyone a chance cause the doctor said abort me
I killed the negative now the world can't ignore me
I ate the planet and I vomited lava
I flushed the toilet on the gossip and drama
No time to be tired, only to be inspired
Cause I write to light people's minds on fire
Turn my doubt to ashes, let this be my greatest song
Every tracks a classic, who cares if it gets hated on
I wrote this to the typewriter rain on the roof
Then the snow fell slow as it whispered the truth
I used to make the sun disappear with my thumb
Now I kill thoughts with words and fight fear with my tongue
We used to crush quarters on the train tracks
Now the pressures similar, I got to keep my brain relaxed
I'm grateful for the memories and to reminisce
We give thanks for the past but Newstalgia is this

[Hook: Katie Gold]
There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow
Thoughts they just live on?


[Verse 2: Time]
My dad used to tell me think before I speak
So I sat down and wrote before I spoke to this beat
If you're listening to this, consider yourself family
Thanks for taking the time to try and understand me
This is for Nikay that I met in Santa Fe
He told me don't sweat it let go and fall into place
So I exhaled expectation and took a breath of patience
Now everything's Newstalgia no memory is wasted
I can still smell the rusty leaves on the pavement
My friend is beating cancer so I know I can make it
Life's a photo, we develop from the negative
You gotta let go of the pain or be a slave to it
Put the past to sleep and awake in the present
Smelled the rain on the sidewalk, the moon was a crescent
Milky Way over me, North Denver under me
I love music, but family's still number 1 to me
[Hook: Katie Gold]
There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow

[Time]
I'm grateful for the memories and to reminisce
We give thanks for the past but Newstalgia is this

[Hook: Katie Gold]
There's something to say I see explained
There's always more I can do away with
This is the battle of the past and tomorrow
Thoughts they just live on?
