Sweet Memories Lyrics

[Intro: Awon]
Yeah
It's Awon
And Poldoore
Cold Busted on the stand y'all
Real life for you
Check It

[Verse 1: Awon]
I reminisce on my first kiss
My love of hip hop, the first spliff that I ever lit
I reminisce on my day of birth
I wish I can remember the very day I crash landed on the planet Earth
I reminisce on life in such a way
I don't recall the years, I just recall the days
Like the days both my kids came
Or the day my wife took my last name
I try to forget all that’s insane
I try to suppress days that brought pain
So I propose a toast to sweet memories
For my homies who gone, I’ll pour out Hennessy, love is the remedy
To combat negative energy
Do good onto others and you won't gain no enemies
Fill your life and your cup with sweet memories
Taste the trees, close my eyes and find inner peace

[Chorus: Awon]
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Memories are like riches, life is what you make it
God is in control, never know when he might take it
Fill your life with sweet memories
Find peace, love is the remedy
Memories are like riches, life is what you make it
God is in control, never know when he might take it
Fill your life with sweet memories
Find peace, love is the remedy

[Verse 2: Awon]
I reminisce on my first rhyme, on my first show
The first time I heard myself on the radio
I reminisce on the day the first album dropped
The first advance, the first check, the first thou I got
Back when I hit the road with a fan
Knowing people would have heard my flow in Japan
I reminisce on the days when my homies lived
When my grandmother’s house was the only crib
I reminisce on the simpler times and feel good
Reminisce on the days before crime would kill hoods
And my youth and my innocence, so I reminisce
And craft songs out of life so you remember this
Elevate over the ignorance
Life is beautiful and I’m blessed with the experience
And I regret the days hustling drugs
Busting slugs, making Jesus cry the color of love
Yo

[Bridge: DJ Damented]
"Let's take a sec to think back"
"Feel the real-to-real on your life"
"Let's take a sec to think back"
"Feel the real-to-real on your life"
"Let's take a sec to think back"
"Feel the real-to-real on your life"
"Let's take a sec"
"Break it down"

[Chorus: Awon]
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Fill your life with sweet memories
Forget all the bad, reminisce about the good times you had
Memories are like riches, life is what you make it
God is in control, never know when he might take it
Fill your life with sweet memories
Find peace, love is the remedy
Memories are like riches, life is what you make it
God is in control, never know when he might take it
Fill your life with sweet memories
Find peace, love is the remedy

Genius Annotation

Cold Busted returns to familiar label artist Poldoore, born Tom Schillebeeckx, to release his new single “Sweet Memories,” featuring distinguished emcee Awon and DMC 2012 Team World Champion turntablist DJ Damented (of The Mixfitz). Based out of Belgium, Poldoore started producing at an early age and eventually his potential was realized by Cold Busted’s offer to release the debut L.A.X. EP. The pairing only grew stronger from there through many projects and compilation appearances that garnered much praise. Poldoore’s sound is about good vibes, creating warm atmospheres that blend funk, soul, lounge, and reggae with punchy drum breaks. Those are the building blocks for “Sweet Memories,” an effective standalone instrumental with lazy horns floating atop airy guitars and fluttering keys combining to create a laid-back atmosphere while fat bass and snappy drums work the neck out. The reminiscing rhymes of Awon, a figure in the new emerging ‘jazz hop’ scene, flow rhythmically while DJ Damented’s scratch skills add a next level vocal chop to the beat. Deciding to include this one in the crate should be easy, much like the cut’s vibe.
