C.Dot - When I Was A Kid

When I was a kid I was innocent
But now life's different
What happened when I was a kid
Time to dig the past up, I don't know what's left
Like a time capsule that I forget
But can't forget manhunt running from my friends
Now life's a game of manhunt running from regret
We'd play Grounders by the swing sets
And road Hockey, always moving our net
Or Mario Kart on the DS
If you listen and relate, then put your foot in
When I was a kid (each peach pear plum)
Ya, when I was a kid (playing truth or dare cuz)
Ya, When I was a kid (nah we didn't care much)
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
When I was a kid (sky blue, sky blue)
Ya, When I was a kid (all out but you)
When I was a kid (with a crush at school)
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
And if I sit down with the kid that I was
Would he be proud of who he has become?
Or would he look down on me,
Seeing the untapped potential I have in me full of disgust?
Dear Younger Chris, I wrote this because
I know that you're needing someone and you wanna feel loved,
I'll explain so you understand where you'll go wrong:
One day you'll meet someone that you don't expect
Two friends from your school name her at recess
Now, at about this time it's Winter, Grade 6
You'll have an iPod, which is why you will text this girl just to get a response
She gets you excited but never responds
She makes you feel comfortable inside her arms
But leaves you abandoned when life becomes hard
Still, you'll get curious cuz she is beautiful
Now you wanna get to know her much more and so
Then you'll go deeper and deeper and show your soul
This is the part where the story gets sour though
She doesn't have a soul
She takes off her veil and reveals that she's really a demon and this whole time she's been
Plotting and scheming to ruin your life and kill all of your freedom
She pulls out a knife and she taunts you before she then stabs you a million times in the back
And while there is blood pouring out of that hole in your chest, she'll seduce you and ask for you back
And when you say no, she'll get vicious but vow to meet all of your wishes,
She swears no rejection, she promises safety inside of a prison
But the only twist is no true love can get in
Chris, I'm sorry I'm noticing now
When you meet Porn you'll be only a child
11 years old, man I regret it now
I'm sorry I'm just so damn mad at myself
I wish you'd be happy, I wish you'd be free
But sadly you won't and it's because of me
I failed you, I'm sorry, you gave me belief
But I spat in your face, man I'm not who you dreamed you would grow up to be
