Do you remember

At times, I feel old like I'm going out of style
So I turn down the music on my FM dial
I beg of you to come and listen for a while
And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child
This is my chance to escape today
And I don't want to see my dreams chased away
Inside the palace gates is where I stay
'Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play
Its like the story of the little wooden boy
Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy
I heard it once of twice before
The world is yours for you to explore
I heard my calling as a child and I answered it
When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit
I'll be the sort of man you can't forget
I used to stair up at the sky on my camping trips
In this quiet night of quiet stars
Of quiet chords on my guitar
Kids out there, I know it might be hard
But I realize how alive you are

One day I'll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember?
Yes I remember
Do you remember?

Some say the price of life has a costly amount 
When it comes to fights, I might've lost me a bout 
But I've never lost my head 'cause that would cost me a scalp 
So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps 
I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics 
In '86 my whole crew was in to dirt bikes 
Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose 
Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose 
This is what makes my life so real 
I'll take my chances and spin the wheel 
I can't wait to grow up so I'll know the deal 
But right now I'm a child and this is how I feel 
My younger days were sort of tragic despite 
I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic 
I might need a little magic tonight 
'Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life 
My rhymes helped me many times grow'n up 
Before keep'n it real, all the days are blow'n up 
I put on shows in my room- nobody show'n up 
I'm just a little guy now, but when I'm old enough

One day I'll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember?
Yes I remember
Do you remember?

That was my train of thought
