2008 Lyrics

Back in two thousand and eight, I was just finding myself

I was just seven years old, putting my thoughts on the shelf

Didn't fit in, overly tried to be just like everyone else

I was just fighting a lot, that's when I went up the road

Father, he told me I'm chosen, I got to stick to the code

Don't give a fuck 'bout opinions, keeping my mind in control

Fresh as the ones on my feet like I was standing in snow

The old heads they be talking a lot, so I had to get up and grow

Fast forward into high school

Ducking, dodging all the new rules

Emperor, no new groove

Mystery, no blues clues

Everyday, high as a jet

I put the team on my back

I used to play running back

Had to go work on my math

Yeah, had to go work on that

I had to watch my back

Drifting into a loner, self aware I never lack

Had her once and let her go, but she kept coming back

I was on a few thoughts was doing jumping jacks

My mind was trying to tell me something

Couldn't tell me nothing, off of balance how I'm rushing

Going dnd if they not talking 'bout the subject

Say they only care about you when your name is buzzing

Swear this shit a jobe, but it's up for grabs

Sipping on that lean, super high in class

When I get a chance, I'm a really spazz

Way above the rim, I'm a break the glass

Back in two thousand eight, no couldn't catch a break

Years later into present day

Story time, got too much to say

Back in two thousand eight, no couldn't catch a break

Years later into present day

Story time, got too much to say
