According to The Native, “PTSD” opens the most vulnerable stretch of The Lost Boy. Erigga looks back on the gun violence that was common where he grew up, including a killing that was poorly investigated.
In his second verse he talks about the bad habits he picked up from older men he looked up to in the neighbourhood, and admits that those years left him scarred. The title says it plainly: these are memories that never really leave.
