Memories
Nova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anything you need, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird
Anything you need, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird
So smile at what's to come
The futures so much better than the past was
And your new loves better than your last love
So smile at what's to come
The future's so much brighter
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard, time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why we had such a hard time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why it took such a long time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
Just for a while
Just for a while
I love your smile
For a while
Just for a while
I love your smile
For a while, for a while
Oh man
In this very moment everything is perfect
Everything I’ve been through
These past few years right now I perceive as worth it
I’m protected from the surges
I’ve come on behalf of the people that I service
Found it and I’m living my purpose
Hear it calling as my greatness emerges
I’ve lost, but I’ve gained plenty more
And I’m not in pain anymore
It’s been a hard seven years but ah top of the stairs
Made it out the struggle, wipe away your tears
Over come the trouble, make strides through years
As the rain falls down, let it wash away your fear
Stop and reflect and you’ll be right there
And try and smile
Just for a while
Just for a while (While, while)
While, while
Anything, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird (For a while)
I love your smile (While, while)
Anything, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard, time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why we had such a hard time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why it took such a long time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
Just for a while
Just for a while
I love your smile
For a while
Just for a while (A while)
I love your smile
For a while, for a while
Oh man
In this very moment, I’m certain
That the veiled has been lifted off my deepest fears
I can see whats behind the curtain
The pain has heal, no more hurting
I’ve mastered my self, no more searching
I got every I wanted by 25
When statics showed that I wouldn’t survive
When I reflect, I question how we survived
This is Uhuru, I’ve arrived
Fighting like a Zulu, I will thrive
Didn’t sleep for years, I was deprived
I went Nova Sound with it sparked drive
Cuz my love for music had died
Until I unlocked a repressed memory that revived it
I was like 9 Dam
That hit real
Overheard my mother crying over paying a bill
As a kid but can’t forget, how it made me feel
Now I’ll take you anywhere and don’t look at the bill
By the time I’m 32 I'll be worth a couple mill
Your son on the move closed a couple of deals
Anything you need, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird
Just for a while (While, while)
While, while
Anything, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird (For a while)
I love your smile (While, while)
Anything, say the word
Just keep humming like your national bird
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard, time
I heard that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why we had such a hard time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
And that's why it took such a long time
They say that gods favorites have a hard time
Just for a while
Just for a while
I love your smile
For a while
Just for a while (A while)
I love your smile
For a while, for a while
A while
A while
Just for a while
For a while
For a while




I love your smile
For a while
