[Verse]
I remember the days when I was missing out
Frozen in silence in a room where I can't even shout
Dust the old chest containing pictures of the days gone by
Reminiscing my childhood memories then I almost cried
I saw a picture of gramps smiling next to me
Grandma carries me carefully she's happy I can see
Mother is excited as I open all the gifts for me
Fam celebrate my life, father throws a party
Growing up as a child I used to play at the streets
Of the small infamous barrio running with the other kids
We laughin' hard, you can clearly see the ghetto feats
Climbing the trees enjoying nature's treats
Playing hide and seek, exploring new places
Meeting new faces, guarding all the bases
Dawn strikes and we get tired of all the chases
Get in for dinner I'm the one to say the graces
Then I knew for myself that I'm no child no more
Learned to rebel thinking it's a way for me to soar
Innocence was taken, body badly shaken
I'm away from home, this child learned to hatin'
I can't open up myself to the people I care for
Always looking far showing them that I need more
Attention I crave for, indulge myself in vices
Ain't listening to them turning down all advices
Got me doing strange things, like tricking out change
Thick as a bass strings, i break my own chains
The funny thing is, those are forgotten ways
Just looking back now to my nostalgic days
