When I was seven years old, nobody told me that everyone you with, they ain't your homies
When I was seven years old
Look, uh
Life goin' fast, but we kids and we thinkin' it'll be that way forever, so we waste time
Roamin' the hood as a kid seem big, yeah, 'cause we never went across the state line
Had to go outside just to talk to each other back then 'cause we didn't have FaceTime
I was gettin' off track, seein' what a nigga seen, it was hard tryna walk in a straight line
By thirteen, we was smokin' weed and poppin' them Perkies
At that time, I didn't even know what a Perc' mean
I was gettin' beatings, my momma would hurt me, so I had to cope
Numbin' myself from the pain, I would tote
Thirteen when my first song got wrote
Thirteen when my lil' heart got broke
Wishin' that I wasn't born but I didn't have a vote
Uh, fourteen when I first seen what it's like with no support and no team
Prone to givin' up on your dreams
I learned the definition of a dope fiend
Just somebody who's strugglin', battlin' life, that could've been me on a regular night
It 'posed to been me but I put up a fight
Despite what I was told, knew my future was bright
Fifteen when I was first met Steff, thank God I was all by myself
Havin' sinned, God knew I needed help
Love really do it for you when it ain't nothin' else
I was 'bout to give up, I put my heart on the shelf
Wuan gettin' locked up wasn't good on my health
Even though I had it hard growin' up every step
It's priceless, I promise the memories kept
Once I was twenty years old, I knew that I'd be great
And I know they did me wrong for so mother****in' long, it feel good to put a smile on they face
'Cause I knew damn well, I'd do everything that I dreamed, it just showed up late
But God, timing is real, it's the reason He made me wait
Oh, once I was twenty years old, life finally shown me that some of those around wasn't my homies
Once I was twenty years old
Soon I'll be thirty years old , some went platinum, some went gold
Everything I said I'd do, I finally finished
Soon I'll be thirty years old
When I was seven years old
