lyrics

I remember when I saw you for the last time
There was a Halloween party up at Minick's
We got there it rained and everybody went inside
Except for me and you we dipped we were finished
We hit the car and hit a bar instead
Had a couple beers said the stuff we usually said
Acts that we were gonna book
Shows that we were gonna rock
Songs that we were gonna finish
For the album we were gonna drop
You raised a toast to my newborn son
I had to get home to him so we only raised one
Then we said our goodbyes
To all the people that we knew there
Cmon it's me and you
Everywhere we went we had a crew there
You dropped me off
And made plans to come and meet him
Asked when was the best time
For you to come and see him
I watched you drive off and then I went inside
Man I wish that I could turn back time

Golden
Now you're golden

I remember when I saw you for the last time
There was a random ass party back at Rachael's
Some people there were on mushrooms I think
I dunno if you were one of em
You really didn't say so
I hadn't seen you in awhile so we caught up
And talked about the music each of us was workin on
Even though we started off in the same damn group
Somehow we never appeared together on a song
So we talked about fixin that
I was gonna talk to Haj
Get you on a Dumhi song with the whole squad
We freestyled
Kicked some rhymes back and forth
We were young it was fun
We would rhyme for sport
I don't remember you leavin
I don't remember sayin bye
There's a hundred percent chance that I was high
Man that whole era really flew by
Yo I wish that I could turn back time

Golden
Now you're golden

I wish that Tommy got to meet his Uncle Blake
I wish he got to meet his Uncle Joel
I wish he'd know what they were like in real life
Instead of in the stories that I'll tell him when I'm old
I wish that I could hear their voices without hittin play
I'm thankful that I can at least hear em there
I wish that I could be with each of them another day
So I could say my goodbyes instead of sayin prayers
I wish I never had to see what it was like
For a parent to lose their own child
I can't imagine the sheer amount of strength
That it must take to even crack a smile
I wish that I could let em know they'll be fine
I wish that I could think about it without cryin
And even though I'm sure we'll see each other
Somewhere down the line
I still wish that I could turn back time

Golden
Now you're golden
We're all golden
