I'ma open up the blinds real quick, let some sunlight inside Ightttttt, yeah so So can I take y'all back real quick? I just wanna reminisce a little bit Yeah? Okay Once upon a time I was cutting grass Tryna get a greenback at the age of 12 or 13 I'm not for sure exactly, but you can paint the Picture Perfectly Imperfect As I put the 15 dollars in my pocket while I get excited for the Ice Truck To roll through the hood on the Westside feeling like the riches man alive 'Cause I hustled for mines, me and my little brother was on a grind Even though we was the Goonies in the neighborhood Riding bikes, sitting on the handle bars with some pegs on the back That was a 3 person transportation to the next location Or we was popping wheelies in the middle of the street To see how long we can hold our Balance Life was so Simple Like take me back to when we was in the room Freestyling to a Soulja Boy beat as we found a rhythm The early stages of a artist rappin' over instrumentals It got me feeling sentimental writing in this composition And it's crazy how one choice I made was a life decision Yeah I understood the repercussions Now I'm seen as a Typical Statistic But I see a bigger canvas that can change the World System So you can never blind my vision But you can hate me or love me Either way I wanna go where life was simple So can we take it back when life was simple? 'Cause growing up is a tough Challenge 'Cause growing up is a tough Battle So can we take it back to when life was simple? Can we take it back to when life was simple? 'Cause growing up is a tough Challenge Growing up comes with many Battles So can we take it back to when life was simple? 21 now and I'm feeling the pressures of the world on my back When reality struck after Graduation 'Cause I barely had plans to elevate my Education And I knew that the street wasn't a option So now I'm in this fast food place tossing tenders As I put the chicken in the Fryer, grease popping all on my skin But what's wild, it took me 4 years to take the Leap of Faith Jumping off the cliff, no Cliff Hanger or a Parachute to catch my landing So now I'm Free Falling with schematics for my Rocket Ship With barely any resources Just a Spirit Guide, a Laptop, and a Mic to put my voice in Plus a couple dollars for the Journey Not rich, but watch me turn my bars to wealth While I find my Inner Self 'Cause it's a Hard Knock Life, that's why I play Chess To the point I forgot how many steps I'm ahead And don't Classify this as bragging While I'm spitting this fire hotter than a Dragon See the purple fire ignite when I tap into my passion As I put on for NMR and My Team when we're established And did you catch how I went back 8 or 9 years due to Reminiscing 'Cause I just wanna take it back to when life was As we can we take it back to when life was simple 'Cause growing up is a tough Challenge 'Cause growing up is a tough Battle So can we take it back to when life was simple? Can we take it back to when life was simple? 'Cause growing up is a tough Challenge Growing up comes with many Battles So can we take it back to when life was simple?
