I remember when I was young
Watchin' the risin' sun
Wishin' that I was someone else
I remember when the nights were long
Singin' my mama's songs
Pickin' up pieces off the ground, mm
Pack a lunch, a tuna sandwhich in a brown paper bag
Shop at Ross to cut the cost before the first day of class
Anything to save a dollar, dollar
Yeah, I got it from my mama, mama
Ain't nobody lookin' like me when I walked into math
Had the teachers treat me different, made me hate bein' Black
Feelings I ain't even acknowledge, acknowledge
'Til I finally got to college, college
And I was only age twelve when my first friend had died
Jumpin' off the same bridge, we laid the ??? stuck in drive
Through the foggy evenin', pourin', pourin'
Anything to escape the boredom
I remember when I was young
Watchin' the risin' sun
Wishin' that I was someone else
I remember when the nights were long
Singin' my mama's songs
Pickin' up pieces off the ground
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Traded the monsters in my closet
For childish dreams and hopeless nonsense
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Dealin' with issues I've been dodgin'
Just give me some time, I'll shake 'em off me
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Traded the monsters in my closet
For childish dreams and hopeless nonsense
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Dealin' with issues I've been dodgin'
Just give me some time, I'll shake 'em off me
