Everyone is raised differently, with some kids having harder upbringings than others due to circumstances out of their control. All things considered, I had a good childhood, and what I absolutely miss most because of that, is the way I saw the world. You get older and you actually realize how vile this rock really is, but as a kid, almost none of that exists. Theres a level of innocence & purity that you never get back as you age, especially if you're black.


I legit miss how special getting pizza on a Friday night felt. Or the excitement I had when a new video game dropped and I had the funds to cop due to saving up break money. I miss being able to get lost in a film. I miss how magical Christmas Eve & Christmas morning felt. Hell, more than any other aspect, I miss my imagination. Kids just dont see things the world the way adults do, and that's the gift of childhood. I miss that ignorance and innocence more than anything.

Came in here to say what you basically summarized in the top paragraph.

My naivety to what "life" really is.

She passed away in 2006 from liver cancer, aged 58. And thank you man. It doesn’t get easier over time like I thought it would...

I'm sorry hun. My mom died in 2004 from Brain cancer. She was 33 and at the time I was 14. I wilded out for years after, running away, smoked weed heavy... I hate Christmas and will not celebrate it, miss her too damn much.
R.I.P to both of them, moms are the shyt.

The ability to just go out and waste time exploring. Nowadays after my job Im left with just enough energy to just play with my dog in the yard.

 

[Yade]

Not having to worry about money or careers

Summertimes with my little bro and sis watching music videos on BET. My siblings and I claiming verses from the different rappers, and whenever that song came on we’d recite them (that Neva Eva song, I had Don P’s verse and for Move bytch I got stuck with I-20s verse even though I ain’t understand what he was saying).

Staying home during the summers, going outside playing with the neighborhood kids. My crib was the kickball and baseball spot. Playing manhunt, and having my mama and daddy telling us to stay in the house but we’d still go out

Every Friday night was pizza night at my crib.

Riding in my daddy’s old Buick on saturdays with my bro to go get a haircut. He was a Tupac Stan and knew ride on our enemies word for word. He’d tell us not to tell my mom we was listening to it lol
