I wish I was a kid again
I met some friends, they’re in my head
Dad was pissed when I wet the bed
Ryan Nyquist bike in the shed
6 piece chicken only $5 buckaroos
Potato wedges and that Mountain Dew
NBA live 2002
Some were getting by, I was getting through
Rooted for Houston cos I liked Yao Ming
He was tall like me and didn’t fit in
LG phones you could hit me on my flip
Too afraid to talk to the honey dips
Never was myself cos I thought I wasn’t cool
Turned 27 now I’m going back to school
Rap game’s been bad to me
Messed up my anatomy
Now my perspective’s skewed Judging by the news, we’re all screwed
Used to go to Foot Locker just to look
I read spark notes, not the book
Chopped not slopped, every hook
Before Lil B even learned to cook
Harsh realities of life got me down
Reminiscing on lost friends hometowns
Used to skateboard like Rodney Mullen
Then I got an Xbox, now I’m cooling
Before I transformed into the super
Had a friend who rode motorized scooters
Plus he’s nice on the computers
Hooked us up with lime wire, now we’re living in the future
If I had a tumor I’d name it after a gym teacher
Always came in last, blamed it on my damn sneakers
Throw Some D’s, that was the heater
In science class measuring the beakers
We ruled the Oxford valley mall Sorta like Jeter and baseball
Got kicked out of FYE
No one to kiss on New Years Eve
Sometimes I didn’t wanna be me
Put in a cd and zone out to the Beasties
We were all learning at our own pace
Now it feels like I’m trapped in the rat race
Back in the days when I was young
MTV Jams, soaking up sun
Remember loving snow days? Now you gotta hope the roads paved
We’re all chasing our tails
One day we’ll prevail
But I like to think
Back when Capri Sun was my favorite drink
Sinking in my seat
Nowadays would that kid be proud of me?
