Back when all the petty things used to matter most
And every little jab had our back up
On the ropes
The fantasy was being like whoever had the most
Living lives that would match whatever happened on the soaps
Simply following a passion was a bad approach
Had no plan of action, it was more just having hopes
Mentality was living fast, money, cash and hoes
If you had it, had to boast
Thought we knew it all should've known better
Cause having wisdom is different from being clever
Looking back it was never bad as remembered
And if it was, in the present there's new endeavors
Wish i knew it took more than looking up to the heavens
We waiting on any minute but changes are made in seconds
I used to trust so easily
I used to fall for anything
But under all my boundaries I just didn't know better
Used to have no confidence
Uncomfortable in my own skin
Deep down way way back then
I just didn't know better
I just didn't know better
Used to know no better
Insecurities hidden behind the shades
Wanna share ya soul but never could hold a gaze
Everything you feeling is written off as a phase
Anxiety is s crippling prison without the cage
And Society's vision is so malaise
But still you follow along with the charades
Just so you could deal with the long miserable days
Of trying to fit in with the crowds at the parades
Mufukas' quick to critique everything that make you unique
And then suddenly all you seeking out is the praise
Now all things that you speak are more shallow than they're deep
And reality as you see it is just a haze
Think we know it all... should've known better
Having wisdom is different from being clever
I remember
I used to trust so easily
I used to fall for anything
But under all my boundaries I just didn't know better
Used to have no confidence
Uncomfortable in my own skin
Deep down way way back then
I just didn't know better
I just didn't know better
Used to know no better
