Hook 2's)
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-, some days
I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-anymore-anymore-anymore
(Verse 1)
Thinking back, i remember putting food on the table
Mama did it, not Daddy-Dude wasnt able
From the cradle to a crawl, to my grown man swag
Mama gave me that Dog, I aint get nothing from dad
On the block late at night
Thugs taught me how to fight
How to ball up my fist
And swing with all my might
How to stack a couple chips, and stay in my lane
The blink of an eye, no lie- I seen shit change
I know im the same, check this- know how I can tell
Still short, still black, still broke as hell
Still hundred proof, still got some favor's that Im owed
imma cash in, when I go in smash in mode
The last load of anger I unleashed made marks
Like whelps, from rap belts, my shits go hard
So hard, I know they wanna shish my bob
Give anything, I mean-just to see it enlarge
(Ha ha hahh)
The truth is, everybody wanna go to heaven
Nobody wanna die. Work hard, play hard
Is far more than an ole cliche for me, yessirr
Im standing, the test of time...
(Hook 4's)
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-, some days
I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-anymore-anymore-anymore
(Verse 2)
Straw house, to bick house, poor house to rich house
I been thru em all, took what they had to dish out
So now I take the low route, to stay below the radar
And people with their hands out, cause most of them they are
(Bridge)
Stingy, and they full of envy
Favorite line is lend me
Faking like we friendly
Im not pretending- and grinning,
and smiling like a goofy
When people trying to hurt me
or hurt mine's, I usually
Strike with avengance, starting with the friend list
The fake mutha F'ers, was that pretend shit
Society, Eye-ing me, I am thee-Menace
The only one sinning, the sacrificial image
A black man with brown eyes
I scream out, the sound dies
I square off from round lies
Yet still I- I rise
Born for adversity, built for the rugged
I can say with certainty, Im black and beloved
(Bridge)
Good guys wear white, bad guys wear black
Must've been a white guy, that started all that
Ha ha
Wise words, from back in the days
(Hook 4's)
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-, some days
I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days, when I was young
Im not a kid anymore-anymore-anymore-anymore
