Back When I Was Little Lyrics

Back when I was little

They told me keep it in the lines

Not to let it bleed

It won't be a perfect picture

But this story leads

Out to make it picture perfect

I know what it needs

Got me thinkin out of the box

Not meant to be square

Was a black sheep

Had to venture out

I was headin into nowhere

Now I really gotta follow through

It's time to shade it

I'm closing up the darkest part

Of what I'm making

First thing that I did

Took a notepad and a pen

Jotted down every little thing that I want to do

Not just pray, wish, and hope for the best

While I'm looking at the stars

One day I wanna be a star

Want you all to know my name

Ima make the Grammy's

Independent

Gotta manifest

Pave my way

Stay in my lane

Ha no

I rather be the one that just own that road

Gonna be the reason y'all propose a toast

Might rub it in

To those who lost faith

Oh yeah

I know that it kinda seem wrong

What's the point in telling me practice

If you ain't even there for the game

What's a point if you ain't know how it happened

Don't need to be the best

Wanna be remembered with the rest

Ones that we already put to rest

We won't ever forget Whitney

Or the King of pop

Even Biggie

What about that Rasta with the dreads

Can't forget him that walk the line

2 pac livin that thug life

The marathon continues

That's Nip's sight

Had to fight their demons

That's Kurt's fight

Like

Back when I was little

The told me keep it in the lines

Not to let it bleed

It won't be a perfect picture

But the story leads

Out to make it picture perfect

I know what it needs

Got me thinkin out of the box

Not meant to be square

Was a black sheep

Had to venture out

I was headin into nowhere

Now I really gotta follow through

It's time to shade it

I'm closing up the darkest part

Of what I'm making

Clearing out all of my bags

From my past I had to unpack

Down to the dirt and grime with the bristles

Seeing it clear

Methamphetamine crystals

I wanna be a star

Started in O to the A

Then I had to get back to the kids for the way

That they mama wanna B

I can C ina day

They don't wanna get paid

They just wanna get faded

Fucked up and then laid

I done been there and done that

They done been here and then run back

With time comes a little wisdom

I know that a lot want me to fail

You think that I can't take the heat

Just know if I blow a little smoke over your way

That yo lungs will meet defeat

Be known like Madonna

Do the impossible, Cruise

Sittin on money like Bezos

Crawford how he wouldn't lose

Brady how he wouldn't quit

I wanna be big

Don't wanna be cast to a corner

I wanna be dancing the room

Not like Tom hanks on an island

More like Chris brown with a groove

I'm gonna be big
