​better ​nothing, nowhere.

[Intro]
And now, for my next number, I'd like to return to the classics

[Verse 1]
Growing up, I had a dream in my mind
Then it came true, now it got me losing my mind
I don't wanna seem ungrateful so I keep it inside
Got me reminiscing, thinking of a simpler time
Like me and Lopez used to skate down the block
Passing time, spitting rhymes at the old parking lot
I can't even drive past all the spots that I love
'Cause they're nothing even close to anything like it was
But when I see a group of kids in the spot
I wanna shake 'em, wanna tell 'em they don't know what they got
Wish that I could travel back and try to tell me to stop
'Cause I had everything, I never needed a lot

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I woke up one day and suddenly I grew up
I can't remember when it happened, it was all too abrupt
Driving 'round my old town, it's pathetic, I know
The only time that I was happy and I can't let it go

[Chorus]
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
