| Back when I was younger 15 years old
|
| I was tryna figure out where I’m gonna go
|
| I was out tryna find a block of gold
|
| A rainbow, I was chasing a rainbow
|
| Used to ride out every day all alone
|
| Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold
|
| Now I think about the words my mama told
|
| She said you can have it all, but don’t lose your soul
|
| Don’t lose your soul, don’t lose your soul, don’t lose your soul
|
| When I was 15 they said I was destined to fail
|
| Preacher man told me I was headed to
|
| Hell, he told me death was the wage of sin
|
| And a young man with so much anger caged within
|
| Riding round reminiscence I’m thinking how I used to be
|
| Judge said I was a danger to my community
|
| But back then I felt like I knew it all
|
| I was selling cocaine when other kids were shooting ball
|
| I’m tellin' you all the truth my life was a movie all
|
| Shit you better tell them red we’ve been through it all
|
| From close caskets to different court dates
|
| But because I know life ain’t a short thing
|
| Back when I was younger 15 years old I
|
| Was trying to figure out where Im gunna go
|
| I was out trying to find a block of gold
|
| A rainbow
|
| I was chasing a rainbow
|
| Use to ride out everyday all alone
|
| Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold
|
| Now I think about the words my mama told
|
| She said you can have it all but
|
| Don’t lose your soul, don’t lose your soul
|
| Don’t lose your soul
|
| Mama said there will be days like this…
|
| I was a young man just trying to make it rich
|
| Cocaine was a rich mans high and I was broke
|
| So I found a couple rich guys that snorted coke
|
| I remember rollin' up brown weed in a Philly
|
| Smoking it and hearing scenes probably
|
| That shit was silly
|
| And now it’s hard to believe that I was that guy at all
|
| And now I keep on slippin' and I’m trying not to fall
|
| I’m fucking different woman trying to not get involved
|
| Cause the saying goes the higher we fly the harder we fall
|
| And through it all God never let me go I
|
| Said a prayer every day and I kept my soul
|
| Back when I was 15 years old I was
|
| Trying to figure out where I’m gonna go
|
| I was out tryna find a block of gold
|
| A rainbow
|
| I was chasing a rainbow
|
| Used to ride out everyday all alone trying to figure out why the
|
| Worlds so cold, now I think about my mama told me
|
| She said you can have it all but sent lose your soul
|
| Don’t lose your soul
|
| Don’t lose your soul
|
| I’m feeling like the phoenix how I’m raisin from the
|
| Ashes, now every mixed tape is a white trash Classic
|
| To tell you all the truth it’s been a long road
|
| We came along way but we still got so far to go
|
| Do this for my brother in the federal pen
|
| And I promise you your not going back ever again
|
| Back then we were kids trying not to make the news
|
| Now we got this music thing and I think its breaking through but hold
|
| Up back then we had it so rough used to
|
| Do a couple shows but no body showed up
|
| And now everybody knows us there like here comes trouble
|
| Damn, I can’t wait til I see my brother struggle
|
| Come on
|
| Back when I was 15 years old I was trying to figure out
|
| Where I’m gonna go, I was out trying find a block of gold
|
| A rainbow I was chasin' a rain bow
|
| Used to ride out everyday all alone
|
| Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold now I think about the
|
| Words my mama told she said you can have it
|
| All, but don’t lose your soul, don’t lose your soul
|
| Don’t lose your soul |
