When I Was Young Songtext

I can′t go back
Let me tell you a story
Huh (I can't go back)
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed (Huh)
′Cause I was too scared
I still remember them n-'s abusin' me (Huh)
Bein′ in foster care fucked with my head (Huh)
Tried to forget everything that I′ve been through
I got my whole life still ahead (Huh)
I've been in therapy since I was nine
′Cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullshit
We had trash bags with our clothes (Huh)
I saw the feds knockin′ at the door (Feds knockin' at the door)
She told us to hide like nobody home
I slept in train stations and cars, the houses that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown (Huh)
I had three siblings comin′ up


So it's crazy how they split us up (I can't go back)
But if anybody named Raekwon and you hearin′ this
Lil′ bro, what's up? (N- how you been?)
I got problems inside of my head
I tried to forget ′em but that shit stuck
You know that feeling you get when you talk about your feelings?
That shit suck
You know that feeling you get when you goin' through shit? (Huh)
I know how you feel
I got some scars, I′m hopin' I heal
Mama used to always tell me to chill (Huh)
I had a dream last night I was talkin′ to Webey
And I thought it was real (and I thought it was real)
I had a dream last night that we got out the hood (Huh)
But we still here (N- we still here)
We gon' be big, we almost there
When I was young, I had holes in my shoes
And these bitches laughin', ain′t nobody cared (ain′t nobody cared)
Lookin' for love, wasn′t nobody there
If you lookin' for me, I ain′t hard to find
If you lookin' for love, you wastin′ your time
I got a brother and sister to feed (Got a brother and sister to feed)
I got a whole lot of shit on my mind (shit on my mind)
I know some n-'s went back to the future
For all my n-'s, I′ma go back in time (go back in time)
When I was young, I was goin′ through pain
Nowadays, I keep that shit off my mind
Nowadays, I'm really stackin′ that paper
Nowadays, I'm really stuck on my grind (Huh)
I gotta do shit big ′cause I'm older (Huh)
When I was young, I was too busy cryin′ (Huh)
N-, growin' up is realizin', ain′t nobody real and everybody lyin′
And n-'s be bitches without they iron (I swear to God)
But, I stay out the business if it ain′t mine
I always wanted to rap when I'm older
But, I had to go through pain and cryin′
I don't know what to say, I got one more line (Huh)
Let me tell you the story, we can go back in time (Huh)
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed (Huh)
′Cause I was too scared
I still remember them n-'s abusin' me (Huh)
Bein′ in foster care fucked with my head (Huh)
Tried to forget everything that I′ve been through
I got my whole life still ahead (Huh)
I've been in therapy since I was nine
′Cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullshit
We had trash bags with our clothes (Huh)
I saw the feds knockin′ at the door (Feds knockin' at the door)
She told us to hide like nobody home
I slept in train stations and cars, the houses that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown (Huh)
