When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... |
|
I had a father who came from nothing |
|
He took that and he made it something |
|
He'd seen it all by his 21st, right |
|
His mum and dad both left this earth, why |
|
It was the drinking that killed his mother |
|
He's watching the same thing kill his brother |
|
And he doesn't say it much but he really loves us |
|
And he doesn't want the same thing to kill his sons |
|
When he sees me with a drink in my hand |
|
I understand now why he thinks that it's bad |
|
Cause he knows that it's so evil |
|
But he knows we're our own people, so he let's us go |
|
When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
See, I don't know if God's real |
|
But if he is I can imagine how God feels |
|
And there's things I'd discuss with him |
|
I bet he wouldn't change much |
|
But there's shit he would have done different |
|
When my grandpa passed away |
|
I remember saying bye on his last few days |
|
And I'm hoping there's a heaven |
|
I want to meet again |
|
And I never met anybody as positive as him |
|
Not many were as sick as him |
|
But he didn't let the illness kill his grin |
|
And that's why I went ahead and inked my skin |
|
Cause I remember the smile when I think of him |
|
When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
I didn't know that my brother got bullied in school |
|
If I could go back now, I wouldn't be fooled |
|
He probably thought mum and dad don't fucking care |
|
But it wasn't even that, they were so unaware |
|
Living in a family where money is favored |
|
Makes us wanna say, I fuckin' hate it |
|
Brother though we gotta feel blessed as fuck |
|
Just remember they only want the best for us |
|
We got a mum that's an angel, I'm thankful |
|
To even have her in my life, I'm grateful |
|
Family is anybody close to you |
|
See this song right here, it is overdue |
|
For you... |
|
When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh... |
|
I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya, ooh... ooh... |
