[Verse One]
I started off just a boy trying to find himself
On an earth that I hardly knew
Life just wasn't what it seemed on the TV screen
I can't lie tho', my eyes were glued
I grew up in the US
Off welfare checks
No stability, we'd always move
Either in with my aunt cause my mama ain't work
Our favorite day of the month: the first
That's when we'd go shop
We'd go spend
Spent most my time with my so-called friends
Hanging out in the streets watching the world go by
So stuck in the moment I forgot I was even alive
I didn't know about death until my grandma passed
To tell the truth, it never crossed my mind
She told me pray before I go outside
And trust no man cause you'd be surprised
When the boy meets world
[Hook]
Now you've come so far
Look at where you've been
It's time to see the world
Now you've come so far
Look at where you've been
It's time to see the world
I started off just a boy trying to find himself
On an earth that I hardly knew
Life just wasn't what it seemed on the TV screen
I can't lie tho', my eyes were glued
I grew up in the US
Off welfare checks
No stability, we'd always move
Either in with my aunt cause my mama ain't work
Our favorite day of the month: the first
That's when we'd go shop
We'd go spend
Spent most my time with my so-called friends
Hanging out in the streets watching the world go by
So stuck in the moment I forgot I was even alive
I didn't know about death until my grandma passed
To tell the truth, it never crossed my mind
She told me pray before I go outside
And trust no man cause you'd be surprised

Now you've come so far
Look at where you've been
It's time to see the world
Now you've come so far
Look at where you've been
It's time to see the world
