Andradece - When I Was Young

When I was young, I didn’t have the patience
When I was young, I didn’t follow basic
When I was young, I bleeded dedication
When I was younger I discovered my fear and learned a way to face it
When I was young, I hated being nameless
When I was young, I was a lil crazy
When I was young I had to make a statement, Im here to claim it and 20 years later I haven’t changed a bit


They placing me on the guest list, they hear and respect this, what the white girls slap in their Lexus
You amateur cats are juvenile and reckless, move out the way and let the elder come in and bless this
My wardrobe is covered in blackness, I established connections, I performed above y’all bogus projections
Reviews got you feeling like you touching perfection, that’s nice; but I got 20,000 other perspectives
Yeah
My work is more than just precious, its more than advancements, its more than what you think or imagine,
I came a long way and I got plans for expansion, to masses, on my way to be their favorite attraction

When I was young, I was dealing with mad stress
When I was young, I wanted girls with an accent
When I was young, I was securing my assets
When I was younger I shut up and trust in the process
When I was young, I would laugh at impostors
When I was young, I did my best to applaud first
When I was young, I could slay you without words
uh
My old habits hold me down by the anchors

2 a.m. what the clock struck, you haters are star struck, I assume you probably work at a Starbucks
Skill level’s equal to dump trucks, you here 'cuz of dumb luck, I fought 'cuz Im disorderly conduct
Yeah
So don’t touch my spot, I record nonstop, I don’t have co-stars, I don’t share my light
Its my face, not ours; I live a selfish life, I try to change it but he won’t oblige
yeah
Mary-Jane & Maria, it’s a pleasure to see ya, its too bad that I don’t mess with y'all either
I walked the planet long enough to know a fraud when I see it, I spotted a heathen! Oh goodie I’ve been wanting to meet one!
Uh
I keep it blunt with these topics, y’all sounding retarded; your posy should be cleaning my carpets
Talk so cheap you can’t afford an apartment; your garbage, don’t communicate with me in nuances okay?
I'm coming up with I'm acid reflux, from an ‘F’ to a “B+’, from debt to a refund;
You pay for bars while you over-drafting on visas; you’re lucky my bushiness is operating in seasons
Nah
I won’t adjust to your schedule, I’ve seen your credentials, your work ethic resembles a cesspool
Treating beats like a temple. You live to impress fools; I don’t think you understand the hole you got yourself into
Nah

When I was young, I didn’t have the patience
When I was young, I didn’t follow basic
When I was young, I bleeded dedication
When I was younger I discovered my fear and learned a way to face it
When I was young, I hated being nameless
When I was young, I was a lil crazy
When I was young I had to make a statement, Im here to claim it and 20 years later I haven’t changed a bit
