When i was young as youngster grown up in the suburbs
my biggest problem was if i got sunburned
those where the days i wish i could revisit
cause now a days its hard to go and make a easy living
god knows i got so many problems
go do this and go to that
if i had known i go through this
i never would have grown up being an adult sucks
paying bills aint funny with money
im waking up every single damn morning
one day older, my back is the warning
i used to kick it with dhusi and the gang
back at time life was really just a game
if i could go back, i would do that
2002 wheres my youth at
15 years old, carefree soul
mama cooked me soup when ever i cathed a cold
i put my youth on a pedestal
cause i, guess i never get used to getting old
so put your youth on a pedestal
if you never ever got used to getting old

… Getting Old

Eh Yo James I can relate/
It’s like I hopped in the DeLorean/
Set coordinates to 98’/
10 years-of-age well/
Today got me worrying/
Like I ordered this/
But can’t recall when I ever set a date/
Mortgage and rent/
How it orbits my sense/
How am I affording this shit? /
At 12 only blues that I knew/
Was losing a few games/
Not that MasterCard spent getting wasted on weekends/
Where to begin local soccer Hall of fame/
Known till this day as the Captain of Hurricanes/
Ali, Shadi, Sizar I see ya’ll/
Dreams of being pro athletes we could agree on/
But what happens when you cross that line/
Hello responsibility innocents’ goodbye/
Terms like when I grow up/
They turn to when I blow up/
And I’m sure enough/
Looking back/
On the path I took/
Kodak moments in that blacc scrapbook/
Life as a grown-up couldn’t be more hard/ nah
When I reminisce on my youth my GOD, my god
