ANALOG
L.J. Lyrics

Up and atom got to turn the cameras on
Get ready and start recording using the cameras

Everything record it going analog
Capture everything in a traditional, non-digital format

I can hear em buzzing what a catalog
I can hear people talking about it, what a collection of experiences

It's so natural
It feels instinctive and authentic

Yeah analog
Yes, doing things in a traditional, old-fashioned way

Analog like that blacktop with the sunset in the back drop
Similar to the nostalgic feeling of playing on the blacktop with a beautiful sunset in the background

In the summer time playing kick ball with scuffed shoes that kicked rocks
Remembering the carefree days of summer playing kickball with worn-out shoes that kicked rocks

Before TikTok we had it all and that's facts
Before the current trend of TikTok, we had a fulfilling and complete life

Those sly jokes and side notes described right where you at like
The subtle humor and small comments perfectly captured the essence of your presence

Momma can Mikey come over to chill?
Asking if Mikey can come over and hang out

She might say aight if the kitchen was filled
She would agree only if there was enough food in the kitchen

With enough food that'll last us till the next month
Having sufficient food to sustain us for the entire month

She mash up potatoes and corn beard and chicken with mad love
She would prepare a delicious meal with mashed potatoes, cornbread, and chicken, putting her heart into it

Before we dived in the food and chewed away
Before we eagerly enjoyed our meal

Momma always reminded us to pray
Mom always reminded us to say a prayer before eating

God is great, you dude
Expressing gratitude to God for his greatness

We give thanks, for the food
We show appreciation for the meal

Forever blessed, we have it all
Feeling eternally fortunate, having everything we need

We keep it so, natural press record
We maintain an authentic and genuine lifestyle, always recording our experiences

Keep it natural (Yeah) that be the remedy
Maintaining an authentic approach is the solution

Stretching out from them nappy roots
Growing and reaching out from our curly and natural hair roots

Sprouting just like an apple seed
Growing and developing, similar to an apple seed sprouting into a tree

Fell from the apple tree not distanced a fall
Not falling too far from our origins, like an apple falling from its tree

Something that you have to see a splitting image of god
Something that is worth witnessing, resembling a divine image

Better record with ya Cassettes and camcorders
It's better to capture memories using cassette tapes and camcorders

Before you miss this light stretching far beyond the boarders
Before missing out on capturing this unique and expansive experience

It's going to torch it so they're ain't no need to forfeit
The experience will be so remarkable that there's no reason to give up on it

We evolving like every single picture day portrait
We are constantly evolving, just like the changes captured in yearly school portraits

Stash em away save it for the generation after this
Store these memories and pass them on to future generations

Grasp the gift of the present never waver
Appreciate and hold onto the present moment without hesitation

Cause you might not get it back could be last day you wake up
Because you might not have another chance, it could be your last day waking up

That's why momma always told me don't forget to say your prayers
Mother always reminded me to pray without fail

Awww yeah, you feel that fuzz?
Do you sense that static noise?

I mean, do you really feel that fuzz?
I mean, are you truly experiencing that static noise?

You hear that fuzz?
Can you hear that static noise?

Do you want to be that fuzz?
Do you want to become that static noise?

Well keep praying
Well, then keep praying

You keep living right
Continue living the right way
