Lyrics
[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 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 [Verse Two] By '96 it was me and my sis Big bro left was like he ain't exist Dad was never around I ain't even trip, cause I had a step father When Randy ain't bother Was in the late eighties when him and my mama split Soon as I was born he winds up in the pen I wind up with a pen, a paper, and a dream Before I realized this is where my life begins Started writing poems when I hit the group home First time I remember ever feeling alone Whole lot to handle for a nine-year-old In my mind fantasized about flying to Rome Leaving everything behind even at a tender age Uncle always thought I was going through a phase Until I hit the studio Until I hit the stage Just scribbling my life on the page When the boy meets world 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 [Verse Three] Started rhyming in junior high school Out of love All I needed was some fly shoes Hung with the thugs Wouldn't think cause of my IQ I sold drugs just to bubble and buy food And blow bud High school was different A lot more attention Every day played hooky I was hardly in attendance Always in some mischief Until I got religious Selling bean pies, spent time with the minister And that lasted about a year Before you know it I was back maneuvering with my peers Met Hec Saprano at the age of sixteen Was just a lil nigga with big dreams It was '06 when I first hit the scene Rocking shows without my team When people always said I was a star Can't believe that I made it this far Now the boy meets the world 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 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 (It's time to see the world) [Verse One] Swear I can't figure why My brothers sell 'caine To survive in these times, I don't know who to blame Could blame the media, like They're the reason I might Just start a revolution Know the devil recruitin' They got us overseas Killin' people that bleed The same color as your brother but we too blind to see We're very much the same Despite what you believe Know we can make a change But it's the same old song Song, song, song, song, song, song, song, song, song Said it's the same old Song Now if we took a little time Swallowed all our pride We could fix the situation But it's the same old song The same old song Now if we took a little time Took a look inside We could stop killing each other But it's the same old song The same old song [Verse Two] Yea! I sit back in a daze Swear the world's insane Get so high I could fly but I'd rather escape Find my oasis in the most exotic of places Wish I had the solution to these problems we facing They got us overseas Killing people that bleed The same color as your brother but we too blind to see We're very much the same Despite what you believe Know we can make a change But it's the same old song Song, song, song, song, song, song Said it's the same old song Song, song, song, song, song, song Said it's the same old song Now if we took a little time Swallowed all our pride We could fix the situation But it's the same old song The same old song Now if we took a little time Took a look inside We could stop killing each other But it's the same old song The same old song [Outro] [Fashawn talking] They say a change is gonna come. They say look for a better tomorrow. I think I found mine. See, everything you go through in life. All the bullshit, the drama, the turmoil. It all, just makes you who you are.
