[Intro]

All grown up and for what

This shit fucking sucks

I mean it has its perks, but, but uh

I just miss the ways things were, ya know?


[Verse 1]

Tryna stop myself from going mental (Going mental)

Yeah I always been, always been so damn sentimental

Holding on to the past, long after it’s gone

Had to get a grasp on where I’m at to help me grow strong-er

It hurts

I struggle living in the present, this shit is a present

But sometimes I forget yeah

That so is my presence (So is my presence)

Don’t you ever forget it (Don't you ever forget it)

I’m working, learning from the past (From the past)

Looking forward to the future with excitement (With excitement)

Though sometimes (Though sometimes)

I’m way more anxious, way more anxious than excited

Can’t let it take control of me

I’m thinking bout what I got going for me and one minute I’m smiling, the next my thoughts are violent

Don’t wanna die fore I do what I gotta

Just keep faith, that’s the mantra


[Hook]

Man I miss when we were kids

When all we were smoking was candy cigs

Before the loss of innocence

Now everyone’s got their own shit going on (Own shit going on)

And sometimes I get lost in these thoughts

On where I’m the same and where I’m not

But thangs are never the same (Never the same)

Yeah they constantly evolve


[Verse 2]

But so much has changed in just a few years

Fell in love, went to college, my heart broke, I started my career

Grew my hair out and dyed it blonde (Dyed it blonde)

Uh yeah, yeah I got them goldie locs (Got them goldie locs)

Five tats, earrings, and a nose ring

Man this punk life chose me and I chose it back

Yeah I went to hell and back (Hell and back)

To get my ass where I’m at (Get my ass where I'm at)

And sometimes I wish that, wish that I started sooner

Then I realized it’s never too late to take, to take control of your future, until it is

My past shaped me into who I am damn

Hind sight got me like I might change some shit, but I’m alright

It is what it is

My innocence has been gone for a minute yeah

But with the music (With the music)

Shit I’m starting to feel like a kid again


[Hook]

I still miss when we were kids

When all we were smoking was candy cigs

Before the loss of innocence

Now everyone’s got their own shit going on (Own shit going on)

And sometimes I get lost in these thoughts

On where I’m the same and where I’m not

But things are never the same (Never the same)

Yeah they constantly evolve


[Verse 3]

Vague memories of the first house I lived in

Chillin, smoking candy cigs with Bostrum, watching Kangaroo Jack

Seventeen years later man who knew that (Who knew that)

Our friendship would come around to still exist

Shit man I barely remember meeting the brother Tim

At a party before I moved into the neighborhood

Our mothers were friends of friends

We bonded over eating fudgesicles

Now we’re men getting comfortable in our bodies

All these stories live within and I feel like no-one can stop me

Except me

I got all the love and support I need

Keep drilling in positivity yeah

But damn man (Damn man)

Damn man, yeah I still miss when

Still miss when

Miss when

When were kids…


[Hook]

I still miss when we were kids (Kids)

When all we were smoking was candy cigs (Cigs)

Before the loss of innocence

Now everyone’s got their own shit going on (Own shit going on)

And sometimes I get lost in these thoughts

On where I’m the same and where I’m not

But things are never the same (Never the same)

Yeah they constantly evolve (Constantly evolve)
