[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young

[Verse 1]
Uh, look, yeah
As I drive around the city that I live in
Lookin' all around me, I remember bein' children
Just havin' fun, we was some wild ones
With a three-mile-long smile on
As a kid causin' mischief, just monkey business
Stayin' up past midnight was such a privilege
I didn't have to worry 'bout shit
Fall and cut your knee, get the first aid kit
Had a crush on a girl, you wanna hold hands
Heard a slow jam, ask your girl to slow dance
Mom read me stories, thought I was Peter Pan
Pops did his thing, he taught me to be a man
Life went by fast, now I'm 'bout to be eighteen
Lookin' in the mirror, seein' what the world made me
And I'm satisfied, I think I'm doin' fine
Lookin' at the jungle gym I used to climb, I think
[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young

[Verse 2]
Uh
Then high school started, I'm rememberin' that
Walkin' round the halls, no clue where I was at
With my backpack, pants sagged, half mask
Crackin' jokes just tryin' to make the class laugh
I was and still am the kid that'll keep you smilin'
Little ladies man, girls never was a challenge
Never on the honor roll, too much chronic smoke
Am I in college? No, but to be honest though
I wouldn't have it any other way
I do it all the same if it was any other day
You gon' know when the time is good
'Cause ain't nothin' comin' close to your childhood

[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young
