When we were young [x5]
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
When we were young, everything was so new,
|
We broke all the rules just to do it,
|
And I don't know how the hell I lived through it,
|
Young and on the run, getting loaded like a gun,
|
When we were young
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
|
Now time sure flies when you're having fun,
|
I wish I walked through life but I chose to run,
|
I used to fien for abuse and play with guns,
|
I played and payed the price, stil my life ain't done,
|
I remember running wild, not a care in the world,
|
It was all about graffiti, and chasin' the girls,
|
Running from the law and bar room brawls,
|
Getting arrested callin' home with those late night calls, (When we were young)
|
Sorry mom, I'm in jail again,
|
Tonight I got arressted with a couple of friends,
|
You can either pick me up or send me some mends,
|
Either way ma, it looks like I messed up again,
|
Back to my P.O., or Rehab, or up north, to see dad,
|
it's just the way it goes when you were born to be bad,
|
Actin' a fool, skippin' school, flicking off the principal,
|
It's hard for mom to believe me but she's so convincable.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
|
Shoplifting gifts for the girls, with my boys,
|
Walking out the sex shop, pockets full of sex toys,
|
And, we'd bring the noise like you'd wouldn't believe,
|
At 16 started getting tattoo's up my sleeve,
|
Throwing up the 32, taking part in dirty deeds,
|
So if you wanna get high, I got whatever you need,
|
And if you wanna get em' up, I ain't afraid to bleed,
|
I've been to Y.A. 3 times, so don't you step to me,
|
While you brag to your parents about your A's and B's,
|
I was underneath the bleachers with a THC,
|
a GED, a Chemical Dependency, and a PHD in Whiskey and Stonerology,
|
I lead the breakthrough in ways to use technology,
|
You can learn from my mistakes but it's more fun to follow me,
|
And it's never too late, I don't hate who I've become,
|
So let's smoke another one and remember, when we were young.
|
|
[Chorus]

When we were young [x8]
