Once I was 7 years old, my momma told me, go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was 7 years old, my momma told me, go get yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Wish I could go back to the past, I swear we grow up too fast I swear we grow up too fast, remember the times that we had Back when nothing really mattered Our dreams were never shattered, Now the only thing we care about is if our pockets get fatter Once I was 11 years old, my father told me, go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely Once I was 11 years old 11 years old Never listen when they tell you you should settle baby Because they don't know your potential baby I remember when they told me I was freaking crazy But look what I did we bout to do it big Riding around in the city and I took the whole family with me I remember we were starving the money we didn't have any Now I'm quick to spend the cash, I just wanna live and laugh Never living in the past This moment is all that I have Once I was 20 years old, my story got told, before the morning, someone life was lonely Once I was 20 years old 20 years old
