We Was Once ft. TheNarratorSpeaks Lyrics

Sometimes you got to humble yourself to have these conversations

I was once

We was once

I was once like you

Popular

Energetic

The life of the party

And care free

Or reckless however you look at

But whilst we are here

Let's talk about it

The trials of adolescence

I got to tell you how I had it

The wise and old don't get here by accident

We gotta outlast our transgressions

But I did have my safety nets

Mum and dad

For me

They did all they could and I picked up exactly where they left off

Although I was once like you I had to find my own best interests

Money women friends

Finding balance to seek my muse

The pressures

Can have u dining with the devil

Then star gazing with the most high

Mum and dad used to tell me

keep your eyes open

Stay optimistic

Take my time

And in that time, I sharpened my own skills

A handy man with great tools

Tall dark and handsome

Well I guess you would know about that

Alot of things are attractive to the naked eye

But you know

It's never about where you come from

But the environment you allow yourself to grow within

We are our own eco-system

So be careful along the way

As we are who we surround ourselves with

Seeing the world can lead to us breaking generational constraints

Our honesty promotes growth

As independence is all I seek for you

You being your own

You'll grow

My baby you are

As you were once

That won't change

Learning to lead as I guide

Hoping to mould as you rise

You will lead

Though with caution

As free will

Freewill is that gift and curse

But never run from it

Take responsibility

As freewill is a form of expression

That will make sense as you mature

But remember

Freedom is a mind set

The power comes from within

But hear my message again

Honesty promotes growth

AS independence is all I seek for you

You being your own

You'll grow

My baby you are

As you were once

That won't change

Learning to lead as I guide

Hoping to mould as you rise

You will lead

Though with caution

The gift of life

I give to you

Your mistakes

Are your own

Learning to learn

As you fall

And be strong

As you rise

You and I

Are all you need

For all else

I'll be there

From my shadow

You must shine

Where I failed

You will pass

Not all answers you will find

What's yours will come

Never fold

Manifest

Write your story

Paint your picture

My child

Is who you are

No matter what

That won't change

Be your own

Is all ask

Be your own

is all ask

Be your own is all I ask

We was once

I was once

I was once

You can only start from where you began

What better advice can one give then what has already become

Do as you please

As what will be, has already been written

As you were

So was I

So were we

We was once

We was once

We was once
