Take Me Back

Take me back to age six When I wasn't full of so many, sceptics Take me back to the dreams I shared with you when you were still alive Take me back to the feels The feels to strive to thrive when I still had the drive Take me back to age five Where I would jive just to see you arrive Take me back to the times Times I didn't have to fight just to survive Take me back to my height Where I'd try with all my might just to reach Take me back to when you would preach Whenever you had a lesson to teach Saying o tla mpontsha "speech" Take me back to to trends Before I'd burn the candle at both ends Take me back to having friends Before I knew how everybody just pretends Before my pen would offend But the only memory my brain sends, Is to the time where your life ends The time everybody had something to recommend Not forgetting the time I would spend Trying to get my broken heart to mend Tell me did you really intend, to leave her for us to depend? All your 'firstborn' cares about is her friends Do you know how many rules she bends? Us she'd never tend to defend Yeah, nice funeral mom, pity you couldn't attend.
