Drifting On the Memory
Westside Cartel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about you
Angelito, everytime you cross my mind
Tú sabes que me agüito
When the good times we use to have open the past
Cause i remember all the clothes you think you diggy use to make a slap
Damn homeboy, It's drip now there you gone
I never in my life are been doing this song
Aporalo, Littlelaker.
You're always in our hearts, never we will forget you
The they i hurt up
These lyrics are about the reminiscence of a lost loved one, referred to as "Angelito." The singer talks about thinking of this person often and feeling sad ("agüito") when remembering the good times they shared in the past. The lyrics mention the person's fashion preferences, specifically referring to "clothes you think you diggy," which could suggest that Angelito had a particular style or was interested in fashion. The nostalgia is heightened by the fact that this person is no longer around ("there you gone").
The lyrics then take a personal turn, as the singer acknowledges that they have never written a song like this before ("I never in my life are been doing this song"), but pays tribute to their lost loved one by dedicating it to them as a way of keeping them in their hearts ("In loving memory"). Finally, the lyrics mention two names, Aporalo and Littlelaker, who are presumably other people who have passed and are also being remembered.
