[Chorus 1: Styalz Fuego]

When I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya

Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 1: 360]

I had a father who came from nothin'

He took that and he made it somethin'

He'd seen it all by his twenty-first, right

His mum and dad both left this Earth, why?

It was the drinkin' that killed his mother

He's watchin' 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, uh

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 lets us go


[Chorus 2: Styalz Fuego & Melbourne Gospel Kids Choir]

When I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 2: 360]

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 sayin' bye on his last few days

And I'm hopin' there's a heaven, I wanna 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, like


[Chorus 2: Styalz Fuego & Melbourne Gospel Kids Choir]

When I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus: Melbourne Gospel Kids Choir]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3: 360]

I didn't know that my brother got bullied at school

If I could go back now, I wouldn't be fooled

He prob'ly thought mum and dad don't fuckin' care

But it wasn't even that, they were so unaware

Livin' in a family where money is favoured

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

Just to even have her in my life, I am grateful (Grateful)

Family is anybody close to you

But, see, this song right here, it is overdue for you

When I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

Now I know, now I know

Now I know-oh-oh-oh

I was just a child

I didn't know much a-

Bout ya, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
