​better

[Intro sample] 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 [Verse 2] I would never trade a friend for the fame But I been on the road touring and it isn't the same Losing touch with all the ones that I love How many calls I gotta miss 'til they stop giving a fuck? Been feeling down, so I hit up my mom She told me everything will pass so put it all in a song I know my family can see I got a lot on my plate Seems like every time I'm home it's only just for the day So I been putting all my thoughts in this verse And I don't know that if it's helping or it's making it worse I just know its been a while since I felt like I'm fine I've been trying to learn to live my life one day at a time [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 [Outro] Go back
