Recovery (Back in the Day)

Back in the days
When I was young
I'm not a kid anymore, but some days...
Some days
I sit and wish I was a kid again...
Sit and wish I was a kid again...

I looked mama in her eyes
And spoke of bags that I'ma make one day
Promise your daughter gone be great one day
Had some setbacks on the journey
Given mercy just to walk by faith...
Trust that God do you same one day...
(Do the same, do the same)
To my best friend...
(To my best friend)
Words just can't express how I'm feeling
Not even paper to pen could be descriptive
I replay you in my dreams from the beginning
I got things on my mind now...
Cause I let things fester over time
(I let things fester)
I let small problems eat me live
(I let small problems)
I saved a lot of folks feelings biting tongue
But that was-

Back in the days when I was young
But I'm not a kid anymore
(Kid anymore)
I'm not a kid anymore
(Not a kid anymore)
I'm not a kid anymore

Woke up this morning like...
Family ties just ain't the same no more...
(Should've called my aunties man)
Family ties
Just ain't the same
Uh...
Should've told my cousins that I love 'em more
I forgave my father, but I closed the door
Guess I felt if I let him in
Then he would turn around and break my heart again
And that can't happen, nah
Should've hit my brother ask 'em how he doing
I shouldn't withdraw when I be going thru it
So many people called a friend
But I can't trust enough to let none of 'em in
And that's fucked up
But I got things on my mind now...
Cause I let things fester over time
(I let things fester)
I let small problems eat me live
(I let small problems)
I saved a lot of folks feelings biting tongue
But that was back in the days...
That was back in the day
That was back in the day
