Alright I'm bringing it back to 2008

Back when I didn't have to worry bout the hate

Back when all you had to give a girl was a cookie

Now you gotta go above and beyond to get the cookie

That was 11 years ago I was five years old

Back before you knew I spit bars this cold

I wanted it real bad but I didn't understand

What it was like to find a girl and be a real man

Back when my heart still had all its pieces

I try to go about being smooth just like reeses

Talking to girls always had my heart flying

I'm not going for any gold digger even though I'm buying

I speak the truth I haven't always been your guy

Now I'm alone in the movies guess I got to try

Sleeping with my favorite blanket at my side

Now I'm sleeping with a heavy heart and a big sigh

Back when everything I had to fear was in the dark

Yeah I don't feel any good now sorry Mr. Stark

This was back when all I had to look forward to was recess

Now I'm sitting at top with the best of the best

Back when no girl was near me for a mile

Just wait for me girl I'll make it worth your while

I didn't have to stress about school or nothing

The only thing I wanna know how to read is a girl give me something

Times were a lot easier and now we have it good

Yeah the man always stole my girl cause he know he could

But It's all cool you know we still friends in the end

Its cause we've been brothers living life for the full send

I said I got your back if you get mine

It's a test of strength that will grow with time

This for my brothas out there searching for a cause

It's for the realest girls out there who be handling a loss

Although it's time to pass over the wisdom of a teen

Life can't be the fairest but stay winning with your team

It's those folks who be serving the sentence with you now

If you got beef they'll back you up without the cow

Call me on the phone if you need to take a break

You know I'll answer cause we still got memories to make

It's the sacrifices that you make that'll move you forward

But don't take anything for granted when you moving forward

Live your life that'll lead to you the biggest of your dreams

Even when it's got all things tearing at the seams

I'm on my way to meeting all these expectations

But it's hard when I'm staring at all these temptations

The final message is the one thats always the hardest to read

But it's the perfect girl that plants the perfect seed
