Lyrics

When I was
When I was
When I was
When I was
When I was
When I was
When I was 2
I don’t know what am doing
I was so young I remember
When my mama still starved but still feed me
Then I turn six
I play out in the street hanging around the trees
mama told me i was so strong
I started walking when I was three
When I was 10
I was studying hard to learn
Have got a lot of friends
My family struggle very hard
Siblings growing too fast
Makes my mom kinda got a lot of work
 
I was thinking why’s life so hard
Wish I was born in different family
Like I was starting to regret
But I didn’t know so well
I got a two sisters,two brothers mom and dad
Didn’t even know I was blessed
When I was 12
I got this thing for music
But there is no way to do it
I don’t know how to tell anyone that am singing
I feel like am talented I think no one would believe me
So I have my headset on
Listening to all kind songs
Feeling the rhythm as the song make me forget Everything going on
Like I was in the song in my head
while I was singing along
When I was 14
I had to change my school
My mama told public academic doesn’t help a lot
Cause the government defunded the schools
So she paid for the private even tho
We still managing ,trying to get out of the hood
So dad left searching for the money but we never get None
When are you coming back then I ask
He said soon
When I was 16
I started to learn to work
I started repairing phones,
Earning little to pay for myself
Pay little bills for my mom
I wish I could really help a lot
But I know one day I will have a lot
I started doing foolish stuffs even tho its wrong
When I know myself where am coming from
Almost got lost
When I was 18
I thought I found the love
But sadly I was wrong
No one to blame for that
Cux it’s no one’s fault
Am just so poor
When I was 20
I got so bored
I was so lost
So I think I can channel my pain to make new songs
When I was 22
So I got a call from my sis
Take me out of country so I agreed
The opportunity of which I tried to seek
Change my life so I work and try to live
years Later so I create a mini studio
Recording myself drop my first album
Hoping people will understand
Cux am Healing from within
All thanks to God
I appreciate my sis,love my mom
And my love ones
Soon hopefully we see
When I was
