Elias M. - Memory Banks (feat. YM O'doyl) Lyrics

And all their files and records are in this memory bank here
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away
There's a lot of moments in my life I'm realizing I took for granted
And I've been stuck on searching through the universe
Ignored my own planet, my whole world in the palm of my hands
My grandma laughing at my jokes
I felt like the man
My best friends from pre-K
Don't know what I'm up to these days
The girls I always wanted to impress
Mean nothing to me now I let myself down
When my mentality should be more grateful while there's people all around me
I'm still the same
I'm still the same
Wake up, open your eyes, time is passing, no surprise
Our minds are getting wiser while our bodies fade to grey
Current moments turn to memories, can never be touched
Better make the most of every smile, boy, don't be in a rush
Cause one day loved ones will be gone and you'll be crushed
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away
Immortalize myself with my words
Can't tell if it's a gift or a curse
Pray to God that all my n*ggas can just get through the worst parts of life
Taking our own memories from the filing cabinet
Youthful friendship, magic shit
Things you talk about around the table
Dad lore to tell my kids how my life is a fable
I think it's funny how my parents were surprisingly able to make it to school
The way that they describe a commute is such an exaggeration
I know sometimes I be faking but never mean it
I know sometimes I'm late on delivering but I'm meaning to find the purpose
People don't know what worth is
Using social media, interaction always lurking
I know I'm certain
I'm on a straight path, it's narrow
But never looking down, I'm a sparrow and gliding
And I'm not even trying, flying
Effortlessly complying
Feel the wind singing, rhyming
In my world, in my universe
Memory banks got me crying
Walking home every day with my friends
And the heat skin frying
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away, away
It's just a memory away, away
