Child Lyrics

When I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya,
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, oohI had a father who came from nothing
He took that and he made it something
Hed seen it all by his 21st, right
His mum and dad both left this earth, why
It was the drinking that killed his mother
Hes watching the same thing kill his brother
And he doesnt say it much but he really loves us
And he doesnt want the same thing to kill his sons
When he sees me with a drink in my hand
I understand now why he thinks that its bad
Cause he knows that its so evil
But he knows were our own people, so he lets us goWhen I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh oohSee, I dont know if Gods real
But if he is I can image how God feels

And theres things Id discuss with him
I bet he wouldnt change much
But theres shit he would have done different
When my grandpa passed away
I remember saying bye on his last few days
And Im hoping theres a heaven
I want to meet again
And I never met anybody as positive as him
Not many were as sick as him
But he didnt let the illness kill his grin
And thats why I went ahead and inked my skin
Cause I remember the smile when I think of himWhen I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh oohI didnt know that my brother got bullied in school
If I could go back now, I wouldnt be fooled
He probably thought mum and dad dont f*cking care
But it wasnt even that, they were so unaware
Living in a family where money is favored
Makes us wanna say, I f*ckin hate it
Brother though we gotta feel blessed as f*ck
Just remember they only want the best for us
We got a mum thats an angel, Im thankful
To even have her in my life, Im grateful
Family is anybody that close to you
See this song right here, it is overdue
For youWhen I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
Now I know, now I know, now I know oh oh ohh
I was just a child, I didnt know much about ya, ooh ooh
