I remember a time Playing hoops with the power lines Me and stephen Who can relate? Building a hoop with a crate Plywood, nails and chalk But who would've thought Thats what it takes to be great I remember being atheist I saw a way across But i was lost and never prayed to it At fourteen, almost died from hives And then i made the shift I was so close to death I started tasting it Even though it wasn't my time I celebrated it Instead of running to fight I started facing it Embracing it Holding it close I felt thе peace His hands surrounded by light And thеn i reached When i was young I prayed to be like this When i was young God made me like this When i was young I prayed to see the facts And i ain't really think about it to exact When i was young Man i thrive to be like this When i was young God blessed me like this When i was young I prayed to see the facts Now tell me If you dreamed like this You have time to relax I'm reminiscing 'bout the days when I was young Living life adrift, not caring where it's sprung From the streets to the beats, we were rebels on the run No worries on our minds, just seeking thrills, playing games under the sun In these jungles, we were ... kings and queens Harmonies, melodies chasing on our little dreams Freestyling in the park, each line was our release Every verse, it gets worse, spitting straight up disease When i was young I prayed to be like this When i was young God made me like this When i was young I prayed to see the facts And i ain't really think about it to exact When i was young I prayed to be like this When i was young God made me like this When i was young I prayed to see the facts And i ain't really think about it to exact When i was young i used to dream about a life lavish Twenty something years later, still dream about what i don't have yet When i was young i used to cry when i would think about the caskets Life after death was always so hard to imagine Now add that to the fact, that i was poor Heard some knocking at the door, i had an AR in my face Police raiding, it was like [?] When i was young my momma was hustling Providing for all of us For all the kids that made us [?] For all the pain we've endured
