Dear Younger Me Lyrics

One, two, three

I miss the younger me

He was last seen playing footy in the street

Somewhere up in Nairobi

I know it's been a minute

But I hope we can revisit

The way we used to be

So won't you answer me

Dear younger me

Yeah, uh, yeah

Dear younger me

Uh-huh, yeah

I was a young lion growing up in the savanna

I knew nothing really lasted so everything really mattered

I became the star of the show, Hannah Montana

And I had a fantasy 'bout growing bigger, Bruce Banner

I was sipping on Fanta

Still believing in Santa

Still grieving from that manta that eradicated

Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter on some shit I can't imagine

Some moments they were tragic but most the moments were magic

Like summers up at the cabin hotboxin' closets and attics

Outfoxin' mouses and rabbits

Snakes and ladders, I chose the latter made excellence a habit

Knick-knack paddywhackin' going bananas and riding dragons

Uh-huh

Moving cities, McLovin super bad biddies

Getting litty with big titty committees

And feeling giddy from infinite opportunities

Unlimited mobility

Nostalgia is a bitch isn't she

I miss the younger me

He was last seen playing footy in the street

Somewhere up in Nairobi

I know it's been a minute

But I hope we can revisit

The way we used to be

So won't you answer me

Dear younger me it cuts so deep when you refuse to talk to me

I get confused and I can't see

Without you so please answer me

Listen up my little bro

Growing up ain't really all sunshine and daisies

Smooth sailing

Sometimes a sailor gets scabies

And then your dogs get the rabies

And now you're dealing with Hades

Cause lately you see how society values a human less than a Mercedes

But I'm glad to say that we never got complacent

Took the highway not the basement

Elevated our loving and relegated our hatred right to the waist-bin

It's like the king said

Ain't nothing to it but to do it

Step into it, go through it

Moving and grooving, nothing given till you prove it

Keep your drive like a Buick

Keep your mind on the doing

Keep your wonder and make sure to annually renew it

If you got it then use it

Never lose your exuberance

Cause the truth is a life that ain't true to you is like a life with no music

Dear little Jack, won't you come back

Tell me where'd you go

Did I do something wrong

I want you to know

I've been here all along

Walking down this road

The same one as you

We even wear the same shoes

Hang with the same crews

Time changed me but it didn't change you

Though it's different

I still catch glimpses of you in some pictures

My loss of innocence is like a scab that always itches

I gotta stop picking at it or I'll need stitches

And this wound'll never heal

I'm just tryna to keep it real

But nothing's felt real

Since that day

You up and walked away

You took my inner flame

The twinkle in my eye

Man, I don't wanna die before I just really die

And live a life of imitation with no imagination

Please bring the magic back I been patient

I miss the younger me

He was last seen playing footy in the street

Somewhere up in Nairobi

I know it's been a minute

But I hope we can revisit

The way we used to be

So won't you answer me

Dear younger me it cuts so deep when you refuse to talk to me

I get confused and I can't see

Without you so please answer me

I'mma make you proud bro

I won't let you down bro

We've come a long way

But got a long way to go

From school hallways to rocking the show

You know always

That I got your back bro

From a tadpole

To fully grown

It's rock paper scissors how life unfolds

You'll never walk alone on this yellow brick road

Here we go with the flow

Hop up in Geronimo

Right now I'm with the younger me

He never left

All he needed was some time

To resurrect

Cause I buried him inside

And he couldn't breathe

But now I've reconciled with the younger me

Let's dance to the beat

Of our destiny

Younger me

Walk with me

We got the world at our feet

Uh-huh

They say time is the biggest enemy

But

I'll always have that kid in me

You kidding me
