This one takes me back to my childhood/ When the days were so long/Spent playin in the wood
This one takes me back to my childhood/ Innocence was a bliss/The world too big to be understood
I was born /In the middle of a thunderstorm/They say thats a battle for your soul
I think I know who won that fight/My mom was in labor all damn night/But she came out alive/And so did I around 6:45 /In the a.m./Start to prayin
To bless their child with the grace and the patience/See nobody knew that I was tryna be a rapper/Back then it was a good knee slapper/But now I clap to the beat/Slap on my guit/Play a few strings/And now I happen to see/
My whole life in front of me/So let me soak it up
Growin up I had all the average issues/Acne, I was skinny and cheap shoes
At least I had a dad that tried teaching me how to play the blues/His son didn't catch on too quick/Took him 25 years to write his own licks/Now like a glove it just fits/Like a post-it note ya know sometimes it sticks/N all that time that I wasted on fear/N all those nights with a belly full of beer/(oouuh) n Shots of liquor/Now day by day my flow is gettin sicker/This be the play by play of my ticker/Blood from the branch couldn't be any thicker/In the dark/That's when I spark/Up my fire then I embark
But I'm not goin back to my childhood/No you can't take it back/All our childhoods/Innocence was a bliss/The world too big to be understood
And every day when I lay my head to rest/I'm gonna say that I gave it my best/Some say this life's a test/Either way just give it your best
