Young Boy

Lyrics

[Hook: Ali Bla Bla] Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy When I was a young boy [Verse 1: Ali Bla Bla & Koken] I was fascinated by the world around me No more days as a baby that was crying loudly Seeking praise without the concept of dying proudly Not stuck defining how we must live the lives of bounty Lies surround me, and no one treats me like an equal In their minds they doubt me so I'm out manipulating people They're feeble the way they fold to pressure, no means yes but, in a minute When I'm finished crying and shouting, lying about shit benefiting My goal was never quitting But every role was controlled, well except for shitting you weren't different But listen I'm young but not dumb, for some I was humble and fun They thought I was under the thumb, till they saw what hunger had done The place where my hunger begun, ambition manifested Dad arrested, 'til I looked at the chains that I hadn't tested Hadn't guessed it, would have been this easy... Enjoying all this freedom shit deceived me Can I still believe everything in this TV? But my mind runs freely, vivid thoughts in my head While my old man sips from tea leaves and tells me to go to bed He said "Son, one day you'll be a man with a plan that is grand" But all I'd say is could I have a pound for the ice cream van [Hook: Ali Bla Bla] Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy When I was a young boy [Verse 2: Koken & Ali Bla Bla] I loved noise, exercise, gun toys Guess I wasn't impressed n' thought what's next to try "skunk boys" Dumb ploys like leading animosity to feel me And sleeping with that bitch yeah curiosity she killed me I'm still me... Just my visions 20-20, hindsight Is real deep, back then was never ready to shine bright And when the times right my mind might find that I try To fly blind, stuck in a cycle vital moments in my time line I write mine 'cause while I've changed I'm stuck raw 'Cause yeah I gave it a bash, but wish I gave a fuck more The days of hating the facts are done for, Dad battles Mum wars Love causing shit for no reason, that's what you're young for I used to say bun law, 'cause more time I got stopped by coppers Hopped from pocketing Pokémon cards at the top of the yard To bopping with shottas at large, there was no clocking the charge Of negative energy buried in me can't stop coughing it's hard But now I'm smoking aces, wrote every goal to chase it All my life you said I wasn't shit because I chose to waste it But now I flow with grace and chose to lay this track down To show the days I took for granted, Ali looking back now [Hook: Ali Bla Bla] Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy Life was cool, life was clean Life was school, life would gleam No fighting fools, lighting green and frightening dreams When I was a young boy Young boy When I was a young boy
