When I Was Young

[Intro]
(CxcaineBeats)
Huh

[Chorus]
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed 'cause I was too scared
I still remember them niggas abusin' me, bein' in foster care fucked with my head
Tried to forget everything that I been through, I got my whole life still ahead
I been in therapy since I was nine 'cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullshit, we had trash bags with our clothes
I saw the feds knockin' at the door, she told us to hide like nobody home
I slept in train stations, cars, and houses that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown

[Verse]
I had three siblings coming up, so it's crazy how they split us up
But if anybody named Raekwon and you hearin' this, lil' bro, what's up?
I got problems inside of my head, I try to forget 'em, but that shit stuck
You know that feeling you get when talk 'bout your feelings? That shit suck
You know that feeling you get when you going through shit? I know how you feel
I got some scars, I'm hoping I heal, mama used to always tell me to chill
I had a dream last night I was talkin' to Webey and I thought it was real
I had a dream last night that we got out the hood, but we still here
We gon' be big, we almost there
When I was young, I had holes in my shoes
And these bitches laughed, ain't nobody cared
Lookin' for love, wasn't nobody there
If you lookin' for me, I ain't hard to find
If you lookin' for love, you wastin' your time
I got a brother and sister to feed
I got a whole lot of shit on my mind
I know some niggas went back to the future
For all my niggas, I'ma go back in time
When I was young, I was goin' through pain
Nowadays, I keep that shit off my mind
Nowadays, I'm really stackin' that paper
Nowadays, I'm really stuck on my grind
I gotta do shit big 'cause I'm older
When I was young, I was too busy cryin'
Nigga, growin' up is realizin' ain't nobody real and everybody lyin'
And niggas be bitches without they iron
But I stay out the business if it ain't mine
I always wanted to rap when I'm older
But I had to go through pain and cryin'
I don't know what to say, I got one more line
Let me tell you the story, we can go back in time

[Chorus]
When I was younger, I used to sleep under the bed 'cause I was too scared
I still remember them niggas abusin' me, bein' in foster care fucked with my head
Tried to forget everything that I been through, I got my whole life still ahead
I been in therapy since I was nine 'cause that's when I first wished I was dead
I watched my real mom go through bullshit, we had trash bags with our clothes
I saw the feds knockin' at the door, she told us to hide like nobody home
I slept in train stations, cars, and houses that nobody owned
I know how you feel when you say you alone
Mama, come look at your son, he grown
