Makin' Memories Lyrics

Bein present is a gift if you ask me

It's one that I'm not grateful enough for, I just let it pass me

I can't tell if it's the music or my family that distracts me

It's a tug-of-war in my heart, I've got no peace

Maybe these memories could happen within the music

Or maybe the music is fueled by these memories

Either way I'm wrestling day and night, feeling foolish

I can't keep letting these moment slip from me

I've been writing melodies

Instead of making memories

How will they remember me

If I'm never making memories, man?

I've been writing melodies

Instead of making memories

How will they remember me

If I'm never making memories, man?

Tryna find balance between the fun of creating and the strategy

Tryna find balance between my passion and my family

Tryna find balance between my love for my girl and for rapping, see

I still got things I'm tryna do, I don't know how this gon' turn out for me

Yeah, I've been tryna get bigger, spit quicker

Make some money, guess I wanna get richer

Get less bitter, actually like what I see in a mirror

I wanna make more memories, take a picture

Take a picture, it'll last longer

Tell her parents that I love their daughter

Babe, I'm sorry if I don't bring home a dollar

I've been out here making memories, on stages while the crowd hollers

Take a picture, it'll last longer

Tell my brothers I'm sorry I've been working lately

Plus I've grown up, I've grown out of playing

But I could at least spend time with ya, I know, but I've got songs that I'm making

Take a picture, it'll last longer

Tell my parents I'm sorry I'm not the best of sons

I'm doing my best, momma, come here lemme give you a hug

And you too, dad, before this music takes me like a drug

Take a picture, it'll last longer

I've lost sight of what's important, too focused on melodies

Pushing away the people around me, tryna build a legacy

I'm sorry everybody, I hope you all still remember me

I've been writing melodies

Instead of making memories

How will they remember me

If I'm never making memories, man?

I've been writing melodies

Instead of making memories

How will they remember me

If I'm never making memories, man?

Bein present is a gift if you ask me

I hope that they remember me

Bein present is a gift if you ask me

I just wanna make some memories
