Old Memories / I Know the World Well

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time I was a dumb child
Spendin' cash all on my out
Fits, Jordans, expensive clothes walkin' around
Kicks fresh, it's important that I always stood out
This family support while bein' broke for a while
I was a lost kid
Tryna fit in with the hard kids
'Cause when you bullied you feel the need to be guarded
I made friends with kids around in the project apartments
Three story cribs up the whole block and
I felt alone even when I thought it was tight
Girls assume you come from money, it's just because you is white
And I never been the type to watch people argue and fight
So I distanced myself, think I needa start a new life
It was about time
Havin hoes steal from my wall - et
Same time they broke my heart in the pro - cess
Had people I thought was really close talk shit
So seein' that I ain't really had any option
Mind you I was in high school still
I had cut off all of my friends I never liked u
It was time that I find new
Leave the past right behind u
Fuckas keep lookin back hoping that I'm cool with 'em but
Regardless I picked up skate boardin' for freedom
Go different spots around like fucka car I ain't need it
I was still processin' a trip I had off of weed
And now I'm finally at a place where I'm grateful for it for real

[Hook]
Well I
Know the world well like you and me
From the girls to the dudes you see
And I
Dont fit with the half of 'em
And I ain't puttin' on an act for 'em

[Verse 2]
You never stay a lot
Times I think that maybe you kinda pissed
'Cause now people around always ask how its been
Makin music they tellin' me that they proud of this
Yet my father just sits back bein quiet and
Its funny thinkin this ain't the path that you wanted me on but when I'm brought up its like you get jealous or somethin
Oh how the tables have turned
And maybe you learn a few things about whats important ego put back on the burner
My friends changin' we barely speakin' at all
As if our their fame increases it seems we driftin' apart
In our own ways makin our dreams real recallin'
All the memories of meetin' and now it seems that we on our own
And I ain't talkin bout the people from my home town
'Cause none of y'all of friends of mine girl or guy you are all out
If you see me round dont even ask bout how its goin now
Because ive learned a lot and y'all have taught me good to know that

[Hook]
Well I
Know the world well like you and me
From the girls to the dudes you see
And I
Dont fit with the half of 'em
And I ain't puttin' on an act for 'em
