kno – when i was young lyrics

[intro]
once when i was young
i flew on weightless wings
-those were the days i remember-

[verse 1: natti]
father figured he didn’t wanna be a figure no more
but mama made sure as a kid i’d never knew we was poor
no worries about the bills and all the rigmarole
the food stamps were paper and they spent in the store
if the kool-aid was sweet then so was my life
and the life my friends lived was of a similar type
but as mike jack’s face changed so did my needs
let the osh kosh be gone now i needed some lees
and when i f-cked em’ up she ironed patches on knees
and if it didn’t bother her it wasn’t bothering me
i thought cartoons came through the tv for free
but now that i’m grown i know every fee
and think back to how strong she had to be
cus i was into everything like vitamin c
and i thought it was unlikely to come back to bite me
til the lord blessed me with a son just like me

[verse 2: kno]
those holes in my clothes, didn’t think nothin of it
huh, f-ck ya’ll we was broke and i loved it
nothing but hopes and dreams off in the cupboard
fresh baked humble pie, throw it in the oven
income been much lower than the others
grandmas boy cus i didn’t know my mother
didn’t know my father, at least not sober
forgive and forget though, now that its over
and now that i’m older, i look at the past like
rich folks look at dashboard cams on a rover
tryina back up like data on ya motorola
while i’m dialin up the past
living in the present like a puppy in a box
the best i ever had was my stomach tied in knots
hopin that my pops copped me some folded socks
and brand new draws, thanks santa claus, aw

[verse 3: substantial]
first it was all about anime, kung fu, hide & go get it
anything’s possible the sky’s no limit
plan to be an mc, athlete, and architect
so you could see a player in the building cold rockin’ it
see me copping sh-t like comics & cards
long before i rocked watches times was hard
before i had to find a job or been places
i was 11 pounds 10 ounces, glenn davis
‘fore i saw pops being put in a grave
i had broken heart before i murmured a phrase
had my first fight
grabbed my first mic
before my man ti said “dag that verse tight!”
like ll i grew to be bigger and deffer
no frontin’ i’m ben b-tton i only get better
made hand me down sweaters look sharp as cheddar
a shame that them days didn’t last forever!
