Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm in the back
Mamma's driving 'round
I've been learning my raps
Doing it for all these different reasons
I love the way it feels
And now I'm inside
I'm listening to Nas
Illmatic, it's somatic
I'm not a fanatic
But I'll listen out of love
Lately, I'm digging
[Chorus]
Free your mind and treat it kindly
Ten years old, I was unbothered
Spent my hours in the garden
I was alright
[Verse 2]
Black album, I've been listening to Jay-Z
Every day, pushin' in my CD player
Listen like I'm insane
It's the same each time I do it
Ooh, ain't no skipping through (Skipping)
True, I was in a new phase
T.I. just came with Paper Trail
And we got Tha Carter III from Wayne
808's from Ye
This was a simpler time
Simple days, 2008
Now my life's moving too fast-paced, yeah
[Bridge]
So I'm taking it slow
I've been moving much too fast
[Chorus]
I'ma free my mind and treat it kindly
Ten years old, I was unbothered
Spent my hours in the garden
I was alright
[Verse 3]
But I never gave up my love
I studied it all day long
Coulda been into sports, but
That's not where I belong
It wasn't until right now
Looking back over nuance
I was gonna be here somehow
Do not wanna say, "I knew it," but
I did my young self proud
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Now I'm taking it slow
