Lyrics
Story :
Man remember how we used to be
Like for real those times
God damn stupid kids
Haha yeah
Those were the times
Verse 1 :
God damn man we just passed few years
Looking back then just a bunch of lil kids
Gotta pass the test and drink few beers
Cos future was far we ain’t had no fears
Most of the days we spent in the school
Didn’t do no homework shit ain’t cool
Just a bunch of rebels we were breaking the rules
Back then didn’t know we were just some fools
Doing some dumb shit laughing in the classroom
Rolling up J-s like back in the bathroom
Yeah man we were getting high
Cos life was so low we wanted to fly
Yeah see we thought we were dope
Future was far we were full of the hope
Had big dreams of never being broke
Rolled up the blunts and light up the smoke
Then we just party Saturday and Friday
Stealing parents cars like tripping on the highways
Just drinking liqueur while standing on the alleys
Dreaming of big shows standing on the broadway
Liqueur got tougher while the grades got lower
Blunts got bigger and the pockets got broker
Looking in the mirror like when did we grow up?
Shit got realer but we didn’t get sober
So graduation came and the grades were crap
All because of my shit at least I wrote some raps
In the classroom writing lyrics taking naps
Tried writing my emotions between lines in the gaps
Graduated mid school but got dropped out of high
Result of loving music and plus some lies
So I packed up my books and I said good bye
It was nice to meet you until next time
Story :
I mean seriously though the way everything changed
It’s crazy man
Never thought i’d be here
Like seriously i’m not even kidding
It’s just crazy
All those memories all those people man
The way everything changed
Verse 2 :
But it’s funny now how the tables flipped
They used to say this kid ain’t worth shit
Now I’m making money while I hit those kicks
So you take that you lil dumb bitch
Cos I found my way like out of the dark
Started making music and put in my spark
Scheming new systems like I am the Stark
I’m eating those rappers like I am a shark
Keep my circle small don’t fall for the hoes
Cos the fact is I learn from my foes
Over fucked by friends broken heart and my goals
I went through it all but I kept my flow
But the fact is that now it doesn’t matter
Cos my heart is cold it’s broken and it’s shattered
Pieces of my heart in my songs over scattered
The fact is man now it doesn’t even matter
So now you can see that I got bigger crowds
My music is improving into a better sound
The world is my audience from all and around
Maybe one day I will make my momma proud
And I gotta be honest music saved my life
If it wasn’t for the music I wouldn’t probably get it right
Cos I gave away the drugs and the parties in the night
For some time to practice and to obviously write
And yes I am a rapper but fuck the fact I’m white
Cos the skin colour doesn’t matter when your lyrics are so tight
I ain’t tryna’ end up as a copy of a copy
I wanna get the most of this beautiful life
Story of the darkest nights and the brightest stars
Story of a dropout who raised his bar
Vision that wasn’t blinded by the cars
Darkest nights and the mother fucking brightest stars
Outro :
It’s bigger than me cos it’s bigger than the most
It’s about the struggle and hanging on the ropes
It’s about the anxiety fear and the hope
It’s something from my heart that I chose and I wrote
Story :
Yeah and they thought I wasn’t wroth shit
Told me like if you won’t have this education you won’t find a job
You won’t have a life and you’ll just end up being broke and homeless
I guess things are different now yeah I guess so
