I want that old thing back

Do you remember back in the day when you used to hear a song on the radio and it would make you think of a special person or time in your life and make you smile. Every time I hear Quiet Storm by Mobb Deep I think back to the college days when me and the girls had our freestyle sessions in the car or that love song that was playing when I got my first kiss and I wonder.. What happened to those days? What happened to happiness?

We get so caught up in the routine... Go to work. Go home or if you still have some kind of social life go to a happy hour and then go home. You may watch a little TV, kick it with friends every now and then, but at some point life just becomes a mindless cycle where memories are no longer created and the monotony of every day "stuff" becomes the norm. I don't want any parts of it. I'm taking it back to the summer of 2004 when Slow Motion (Juvenile) had me and the girls acting the fool on jet-skis in Miami followed by spontaneous games of midnight truth or dare on the beach. I want that old thing back.. and dammit I'm gonna get it.
