Back When We Were Kids

Yeah. Mmm. Take me back. Backpack on my shoulders,

cracked phone in my hand. Running late to first period, didn't know the

plan. Hallways full of laughter, lockers full of pain.

Smiles hiding secrets, tears fall in the rain. Teachers say, "You got potential."

But I didn't see it yet. I was busy tryna fit in, tryna place my

bets. Dreams written in my notebook, folded in a page.

Didn't know life was waiting just to test my age. We were young,

we were reckless. Thought forever was endless. Didn't know those days were gold.
