When I Was a Kid ​whxami

[Intro]
I left the old me hanging by the neck
Light a candle rest in peace
They spoke like they know best when disgused by the hate it blends so easily
I don't wanna break when they gone bend
Everytime I'm bouta give I land both feet
The pressure just dont end when I need your help please rescue me

[Verse 1]
Not that long ago
I was just a kid
Putting every single song I wrote in writting from a pen
Passionate but people loved to clown me
Often hate was all around me
But somehow I held it down to get to where I am
I'm fuckin starin at this man in the mirror but lookin back
Is just a shell of my former self
I wonder where I'm at in places I hadn't imagined
Swear I miss that iridescent place I no longer can get to that I built inside my head
But, as a kid, knew I had me somethin different
Watched and listen as my idols dropping dead from drug addiction
But within me is the same exact passion they once were gifted
Never knew how this shit would play out
I wanted fame and all, the money in the world that I could harbor
Everyone to show me love everywhere that I walked
And disregarding all the things that could ever go wrong
Of sitting there on the alter
Watching as we drift farther apart
