The Wonder Year

I use to sit and I would Wonder
Dreams was vivid Life was Dim
Will this ship take me under
I'm just praying I can swim
A lot of pain it was the hunger
All my niggas get a share
A lot of rain A lot of thunder
Sunshine It was rare

If I could talk to myself ten years ago
I would say don't hesitate if it's green Go
I swear the life it was made for us
The way our feet feel on the road like it was paved for us
We slaved for it we was hungry yeah We craved for it
Went broke got it back yeah we saved for it
Circle smaller but it's stronger yeah them links tight
When yo babies gotta eat it's hard to think right
So shit went left some niggas got stranded
That's what happen when you coming to the table empty handed
Only taking never giving niggas masked in disguised
I thought I was woke until til the light hit my eyes

I use to sit and I would Wonder
Dreams was vivid Life was Dim
Will this ship take me under
I'm just praying I can swim
A lot of pain it was the hunger
All my niggas get a share
A lot of rain A lot of thunder
Sunshine It was rare

Have you ever struck out with the bases loaded
Took some Ls I can't shake but I never folded
Not once double down I had Triple up
We they see you on yo shit they try To trip you up
Zip you up yeah it's cold in the Mitten
No plans on being The one but Nas said it was written
It's hard to count blessings when you feel cursed
When you know right from wrong you always feel worse
Everybody sin gotta take it on chin
Bleeding on these sheets is all my pain in this pen
Know the struggle so fluently success it was seldom
Now The world in his hands ain't shit you can tell em

I use to sit and I would Wonder
Dreams was vivid Life was Dim
Will this ship take me under
I'm just praying I can swim
A lot of pain it was the hunger
All my niggas get a share
A lot of rain A lot of thunder
Sunshine It was rare
