Speak Like a Child ft. Kamii Lyrics

Dear, younger me

It was all a dream, thinking it's easy to leave this nightmare

They shot bro in the hallway, it killed him right there

I know you've seen some things I wish you never had

If only I could shield you, protect you from all the bad

In this life, all the pain, and all you're destined to lose

Please cherish what you have and every lesson you use

Homeless shelter and the E.A.U; you'll see that thru

Promise it gets better, soon you'll see that too

No heat or hot water, gun shots lace the air

Into space, you would stare, too scared to face despair

Thinking why is life like this? For heaven's sake

There's a myriad of curses your parents been yet to break

But don't blame them. Did all they could; it's your burden

Hold them closer, say you love em, and never stop how you working

Time waits for no man, and there's worlds in store

But don't you fret, the world is yours

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring thru the clouds just to see

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring thru the clouds just to see

I just wish I had a way to keep it all in perspective

And find my objective, the process deceptive

Cause every milestone I hit that got me feeling like I made some type of growth

Is just a second away

From feeling like I'm running round in circles; end up right back where I started from the jump

It keeps me in a slump

And that's the funny thing about the past; once that muthafucka set, it's set

Remember all the good times but can't forget, regret

Always told me time is money but I never understood it

Too young, I guess I couldn't

Eventually it runs out; can never take it with you

When you realize that you should've spent those moments then it hits you

There's not a day that pasts, that I still don't pay for it

I done begged, every single deity, and prayed for it

Still waiting on an answer. Tell myself that the world is war

But since you still standing, the world is yours

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring thru the clouds just to see

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring thru the clouds just to see

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring at the clouds just to see

Dear me, I'm so proud of you

I just hope you proud of me and all we've overcome and achieved

To the lost, know I love you

I just hope you proud of me, staring at the clouds just to see
