| When I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya,
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh…
|
| I had a father who came from nothing
|
| He took that and he made it something
|
| He’d seen it all by his 21st, right
|
| His mum and dad both left this earth, why
|
| It was the drinking that killed his mother
|
| He’s watching the same thing kill his brother
|
| And he doesn’t say it much but he really loves us
|
| And he doesn’t want the same thing to kill his sons
|
| When he sees me with a drink in my hand
|
| I understand now why he thinks that it’s bad
|
| Cause he knows that it’s so evil
|
| But he knows we’re our own people, so he let’s us go
|
| When I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| See, I don’t know if God’s real
|
| But if he is I can imagine how God feels
|
| And there’s things I’d discuss with him
|
| I bet he wouldn’t change much
|
| But there’s shit he would have done different
|
| When my grandpa passed away
|
| I remember saying bye on his last few days
|
| And I’m hoping there’s a heaven
|
| I want to meet again
|
| And I never met anybody as positive as him
|
| Not many were as sick as him
|
| But he didn’t let the illness kill his grin
|
| And that’s why I went ahead and inked my skin
|
| Cause I remember the smile when I think of him
|
| When I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| I didn’t know that my brother got bullied in school
|
| If I could go back now, I wouldn’t be fooled
|
| He probably thought mum and dad don’t fucking care
|
| But it wasn’t even that, they were so unaware
|
| Living in a family where money is favored
|
| Makes us wanna say, I fuckin' hate it
|
| Brother though we gotta feel blessed as fuck
|
| Just remember they only want the best for us
|
| We got a mum that’s an angel, I’m thankful
|
| To even have her in my life, I’m grateful
|
| Family is anybody close to you
|
| See this song right here, it is overdue
|
| For you…
|
| When I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh…
|
| I was just a child, I didn’t know much about ya, ooh… ooh… |
