When I Was Young ft. Judah Eskender Tafari Lyrics

When I was young

I didn't need anyone

Growing up in a strange land

When I was young

I said I had my fun

Growing in this strange land

When I was young

I didn't need anyone

Running around

It was all good fun

Mommy and daddy

Would work really hard

Coming home late

Just to tend to the yard

A little corn

It was all that we had

When I was born

Just me, mommy, and dad

When we were poor

Grandma made me my clothes

A ragged boy

Even my pants had holes

When I was young

I didn't need anyone

Growing up in a strange land

When I was young

I said I had my fun

Growing in this strange land

Oh, what a life

Youth is wasted on the young

Would fuss and fight

Reflect on the day when it's done

But we had love

It was all we could afford

All of this stuff we don't need it no more

When I was young

I didn't need anyone

Growing up in a strange land

When I was young

I said I had my fun

Growing in this strange land

When I was young

Didn't need no one

Growing up inna Babylon

When I was young

We had fun

We had so much fun
