I met a cousins i hadn't met in years Changed over time, I couldn't recognize his clanly features With a 'hi', long time no see' intro I played along just to get to know him more Apparently we hadn't met for nearly Ten years or so No wonder i couldn't recognize him When he called I think he realized i had no clue On what conversation we were on But it wasn't my fault though Or is it...? He rarely travels home Times have really passed I envy those of us who came first Taking a trip down memory lane I miss when i was a kid Back when i knew all my cousins by name It's a shame Right now if asked I would only manage to name but a handful of them Then give a bunch of excuses so lame Of how i have no idea of where some even stay Times have really changed I looked around and all i see Are cut tree stems I contemplate if it's because I'm now grown up Or it's us not playing our card right If i were to put tabs in how many times We met chat and laughed I'll be drunk by now If my bet went for functions and funerals Funny how we pretend to care When we are never even there I'm told we need a cause to share We've all gone the wrong way i swear!
