  • Take me to that old familiar place
    Take me to memories we won't erase
    Take me to all that we had
    Good and the bad

    I'll never forget you
    I'll never let you go
    I'll never forget you
    I'll always remember, I hope you know

    Let the record reflect the records we set
    Best foot forward with every step
    And let's push towards it, never regress
    And let's remember, if ever we get
    Down, the places that we came from 'round
    And all the good times on the bad side of town
    The upside of bad, flip it upside down
    Came from the bottom but we up high now
    Believe, and from this view we achieved
    We looked back at the rules we received
    And how we broke those, dismantled and rewrote those
    And the ghost still alive in the photos
    Sounds of the summer, day and go wise
    Cold wind blowin' through a city on fire
    Moments of the past, came here to find you
    Not to relive them, just to remind you

    Take me to that old familiar place
    Take me to memories we won't erase
    Take me to all that we had
    Good and the bad

    I'll never forget you
    I'll never let you go
    I'll never forget you
    I'll always remember, I hope you know
    (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

    And let the evidence show, the future's so bright
    It's never been more, not like tonight
    We walk into the glow, right into the light
    The past all around us, the time of our life
    The first love kisses, the broke heart disses
    This is just like a first-class ticket
    Back, to the first written rap
    The crumbled-up paper and the pen with no cap
    The hand-me-down clothes and the unturned hat
    The hookers on the corner and the kids sellin' crack
    The needles in the yard where we used to play catch
    Stories from the project we could never go at
    Or to, these are shades of my youth
    Trials of a child, everything truth
    Moments of the past, comin' back to find us
    Not to relive them, just to remind us

    Take to that old familiar place
    Take me to memories we won't erase
    Take me to all that we had
    Good and the bad

    I'll never forget you
    I'll never let you go
    I'll never forget you
    I'll always remember, I hope you know
    (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

    Everything cherished, remembered in my heart
    So you will never perish, you will never part
    I tell 'em all about you, drummin' in the park
    We put you in the ground, but I see you in the stars
    Gon', take a bow, a round of applause
    The best that ever, always ready we are
    Love always shines, that's how I'll find you
    In case you forgot, I hope this reminds you now

    Take to that old familiar place
    Take me to memories we won't erase
    Take me to all that we had
    Good and the bad

    I'll never forget you
    I'll never let you go
    I'll never forget you
    I'll always remember, I hope you know
    (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) Writer/s: Arden Altino, Jerry Duplessis, John Stephens, Reginald Perry, Wasalu Jaco
