(Verse 1)
Old days, all I can think about
Sit down, grab a cup, have a drink about
Before, the new friends, and the Lincoln Louds
Before, the new trends, and the freaking clout
Back then, when I didn't see color and race
Back then, when it wasn't all over my face
No one cared about skin tone, Flintstone, the only time they brought up "gay"
Not LGBT, but I don't even know if it's right to be straight
Split paths, do i take the left or the right, or do i turn around
Can I even turn around?
I heard a sound off path, but I don't want to go off track
But the sound it beckons, it calls for mе
Zoned into it, it's all I see
I hear a whisper from it, thеn it flees
Now I'm running to it, till it ends, I see
Myself in a playground of not that many people
Just me and a couple of equals
Talkin bout a bunch of movie sequels
Video games and TV shows
Never had a care in the world or of the world and what's happening in it
Now that I'm at this point, I feel so livid
(Chorus)
Things were perfect back then
Cuz I wasn't a slave to somebody else
Now I don't even know when
I'll find any way to get out of hell
I'm lost inside
Waiting for anyone to find
I never know
Which direction do I go
(Verse 2)
Fast forward to the 6th grade
Second day of school was the big day
At least in my parent's eyes, It was apparent I
Was destined for a new life
Teacher introduced me to the classroom
Little did I know it was mad doom
After that day, in that room
Everything I did was a bad move
Bullied, for everything
How I look, how I talk, how I walk, how I dress
Teachers ain't helping, No surprise there
Just adding to the stress
Everyday, people laughing to the end
Didn't know how to love myself
And if it wasn't for the ones that loved me
I think I would've… (cut myself)
I think it was God's grace, I'm looking up to heaven like
I only want Your way (Yahweh), can't nobody tell me right from wrong
Now I want my life to be long, wanna live a century
And I pray to God I have trillions of memories
Could have been the death of me but here I stand
Walking on these beaches without fear of sand
Can't suck me under cuz I got faith
And if I do fall under well then I can't say
(Chorus)
Things were perfect back then
Cuz I wasn't a slave to somebody else
Now I don't even know when
I'll find any way to get out of hell
I'm lost inside
Waiting for anyone to find
I never know
Which direction do I go
(Verse 3)
Remember when I said I met new friends?
Well most of them happen to be online
Why is it that white and black text
Have a better chance of making me feel alright
All of them got problems like me
All of them got high dreams
All of us got so many aspirations
We wanna check off like Nike
The art we embody, the imagination we have
The creativity we let shine, I realize we can't hold back
No, we gotta stay on track
So now I'm doing all I can
To help them through their trials
If they're going through a rough period
And they need to pour tears I'mma be their vial
Piper - so much talent compressed into one girl
With a voice of an angel, give her a paintbrush and she'll probably paint the whole world
Wildcat - Got a wild and fast imagination that can break through the sterile
If Piper's world's ever in peril, create new universes and share em
Dark & Sin - My boys, help me find my voice
Colby - A ghost breed broski that knows me like trophies
Can't forget about Zion and Bio, at this point I'm looking at them like idols
And when it comes to making racks, I'mma always need aid in cash
(Chorus)
Things were perfect back then
Cuz I wasn't a slave to somebody else
Now I don't even know when
I'll find any way to get out of hell
I'm lost inside
Waiting for anyone to find
I never know
