    OUR PLAYGROUND OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS

    Teenlove

    Yeah..y'all wanna ride with me?

    come on..let's go back

    for some of us WAYYYYY BACK! LOL!

    Kool..keep that smile going..I dig that

    let's go....

     

    Running through abandoned buildings

    can't find you

    don't know where 2 begin

    I vibe while listening 2 the distant echoes

    of our inner city origins

     

    Chilling on the front steps

    you and I

    friends and pairs

    listening 2 late night music

    your girlfriend twisting braids into your hair

     

    Why when we grow older

    is a smile never as it once seemed

    still, every time I feel lonely baby girl

    I reminisce about

    Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

     

    The ice cream truck is coming

    I don't have but 50 cents

    I buy you a double cone with sprinkles

    the best money I've ever spent

     

    All around us chaos

    adults lving with obvious lies

    but Philly became a slice of Paradise baby love

    when I looked into your eyes

     

    Running 2 catch the fellas

    playing basketball

    choosing teams

    now every time I pass a park baby girl

    I reminisce about

    Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

     

    Check it out...

    and then I slide

    into a magic carpet ride

    when Black Pride

    was our guide

    and when you cried

    your tears I dried

    when we played seek and hide

    I was on your side

    but when I looked around

    the dream had died

    and no matter how hard we tried

    the gulf was

    much too wide

    sadly now

    only with our memories

    I can confide

     

     

    Running through the early morning

    catch my girl

    kiss my girl

    in grass wet with morning dew

    stopping 2 smell your perfume

    ignoring the smart remarks of my crew

     

    Why can't the school bell ring sooner

    I need 2 feel your smile

    ignoring the street corner prophets

    and the neglected garbage piles

     

    Time waits 4 no one

    true words spoken

    but why must he be such a fiend

    leaving adult hearts lonely

    with only

    Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

     

    Placing my favorite gold chain

    around your slender neck

    all the fellas know now you belong 2 D'ee

    so they'd better come correct

     

    Starting the 1st day of high school

    trying so hard

    holding on to our grade school crush

    but different faces

    in new places

    affects each and every one of us

     

    Despite all of the new technology

    current reality

    and distant memory

    stand side by side on a balance beam

    can't relive the past

    only thing that lasts

    is reminiscing about

    Our Playground of Forgotten Dreams

     

    check it out...

    and though our memories

    are always free

    I don't need them 2 be

    constantly

    reminding me

    of the ecstasy

    of you lying next 2 me

    no one but you and I

    I and U

    you and me

    he and she

    my baby love and D'ee

    kissing under

    a canopy

    of sycamore trees

    imploring the birds

    and the bees

    2 represent the reality

    of 2 young lovers sharing

    love's destiny

     

    yeah...i dedicate this joint 2 the 5-8 what's it Worth crew

    2 Neicy

    Tiff

    Charlene

    Stephanie

    and last but certainly not least Poo

     

    much respect and love....

    let it fade....
