When I Was Young lyrics

[Intro]
(CxcaineBeats)
Huh

[Chorus]
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed 'cause I was too scared
I still remember them n*ggas abusin' me, bein' in foster care f*cked with my head
Tried to forget everything that I been through, I got my whole life still ahead
I been in therapy since I was nine 'cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullsh*t, we had trash bags with our clothes
I saw the feds knockin' at the door, she told us to hidе like nobody home
I slept in train stations, cars, and housеs that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown

[Verse]
I had three siblings coming up, so it's crazy how they split us up
But if anybody named Raekwon and you hearin' this, lil' bro, what's up?
I got problems inside of my head, I try to forget 'em, but that sh*t stuck
You know that feeling you get when talk 'bout your feelings? That sh*t suck
You know that feeling you get when you going through sh*t? I know how you feel
I got some scars, I'm hoping I heal, mama used to always tell me to chill
I had a dream last night I was talkin' to Webey and I thought it was real
I had a dream last night that we got out the hood, but we still here
We gon' be big, we almost there
When I was young, I had holes in my shoes
And these b*tches laughed, ain't nobody cared
Lookin' for love, wasn't nobody there
If you lookin' for me, I ain't hard to find
If you lookin' for love, you wastin' your time
I got a brother and sister to feed
I got a whole lot of sh*t on my mind
I know some n*ggas went back to the future
For all my n*ggas, I'ma go back in time
When I was young, I was goin' through pain
Nowadays, I keep that sh*t off my mind
Nowadays, I'm really stackin' that paper
Nowadays, I'm really stuck on my grind
I gotta do sh*t big 'cause I'm older
When I was young, I was too busy cryin'
n*gga, growin' up is realizin' ain't nobody real and everybody lyin'
And n*ggas be b*tches without they iron
But I stay out the business if it ain't mine
I always wanted to rap when I'm older
But I had to go through pain and cryin'
I don't know what to say, I got one more line
Let me tell you the story, we can go back in time
[Chorus]
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed 'cause I was too scared
I still remember them n*ggas abusin' me, bein' in foster care f*cked with my head
Tried to forget everything that I been through, I got my whole life still ahead
I been in therapy since I was nine 'cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullsh*t, we had trash bags with our clothes
I saw the feds knockin' at the door, she told us to hide like nobody home
I slept in train stations, cars, and houses that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown
