d3 - 7 years (lukas graham remix) lyrics

once i was 7 years old
my mama told me
one day you’ll live a life like in the movies
once i was 7 years old

how could you judge someone you never faced
or found out the background from where they were shaped?
sometimes i think to myself lying awake
i wonder what happened to make them this way
see me well i learned it at such a young age
this world has a p-ssion for hatred and rage
it came from the look on my father’s worn face
it came from the rape my mind now erased
it came from the family that left me disgraced
won’t say any names but video tapes
i held it in and i’ve kept my place but f-ck every one of you
i did just great
except for my cousins who know how it played
it wasn’t your fault, we’re each in the same
but still…

falling apart
out on the road
now i’m about
11 years old
mama took off
we ran for the hills
’cause papa had rage
that ain’t worth the bills
in fact we had none
holes in the walls
no lights on the ceiling to even turn on
no water to bathe
no friends in the town
toledo, ohio was beating me down

cause once i was 12 years old
my mama told me
don’t worry baby we gon’ be alright now
once i was 12 years old
i’m envisioning my name up in lights now

but it never was
kept bouncing around
from florida to pittsburgh and back into town
the mental facilities didn’t help out
behavioral drugs, i’ve tried them all now
they kept me a zombie so i’d shut my mouth
but i had opinions and i let ’em out
cause i knew respect was two ways around
then 32 charges had me lock down bound

cause once i was 15 years old
my grandma told me
one day your mouth gon’ land you in a cell block
once when i was 15 years old

but i never listened, i had too much pride
then just ten years later my grandmother died
but i kept my nose clean since 2013
and my son is a h-llion who looks just like me
and i hold him tight
and tell him i love him
i won’t touch a bottle unless he’s at his mothers
’cause my father taught me what a mother f-cker
just hitting the bottle can be for your loved ones

now i’m almost 30 years old
d-mn
now i’m almost 30 years old

my mind keeps on racing
but staying on track
and i keep on chasing the fame and the stacks
and once i hit main street i ain’t looking back
’cause f-ck all the bullsh-t the time ain’t gon’ lag
and before we know it we’re pushing up gr-ss
and i ain’t gon’ leave here without an impact
so heres to the dreamers, the kids in the back
it only gets better i promise you that
so raise your hands high we ain’t give up yet
raise your hands high we can’t give up yet
just raise your hands high, then raise up your heads
look up to the sky and know you’ve been blessed
no matter the struggle
keep k!lling that hustle
’til can’t no one tell you just what to do next
’cause homie i feel you
you’re thinking they’ll k!ll you
but you got the will to do better then them
and trust me it’s a long one
but you’ll see when it’s all done
if d3 got this song done
then believe you can be someone
cause once when i was 20 years old…

once when i was 20 years old
my mind told me
just give up now, these songs is all a long shot
once when i was 20 years old
