[00:07.47]I'm in the back
[00:08.76]Mamma's driving 'round
[00:10.21]I've been learning my raps
[00:12.26]Doing it for all these different reasons
[00:16.88]I love the way it feels
[00:20.50]And now I'm inside
[00:22.21]I'm listening to Nas
[00:23.99]Illmatic it's somantic
[00:25.63]I'm not a fanatic
[00:27.49]But I'll listen out of love
[00:30.02]Lately I'm digging
[00:35.19]Free your mind and treat it kindly
[00:38.43]Ten years old I was unbothered
[00:42.08]Spent my hours in the garden
[00:45.84]I was alright
[00:49.98]Black album I've been listening to Jay-Z
[00:52.87]Every day pushin' in my CD player
[00:56.04]Listen like I'm insane
[00:57.80]It's the same each time I do it
[00:59.73]Oh ain't no skipping through
[01:01.82]Skipping
[01:02.11]True I was in a new phase
[01:04.37]T.I just came with Paper Trail
[01:06.52]And we got "Tha Carter III" from Wayne
[01:08.66]808's from Ye
[01:10.11]This was a simpler time
[01:12.64]Simple days 2008
[01:14.83]Now my life's moving too fast-paced yeah
[01:18.25]So I'm taking it slow
[01:23.22]I've been moving much too fast
[01:32.04]I'ma free my mind and treat it kindly
[01:35.78]Ten years old I was unbothered
[01:39.44]Spent my hours in the garden
[01:43.07]I was alright
[01:48.16]But I never gave up my love
[01:50.02]I studied it all day long
[01:51.81]Coulda been into sports but
[01:53.68]That's not where I belong
[01:55.39]It wasn't until right now
[01:57.20]Looking back over nuance
[01:58.35]I was gonna be here somehow
[02:00.77]Do not wanna say "I knew it" but
[02:02.56]I did my young self proud
[02:05.37]Yeah yeah yeah
[02:08.66]Now I'm taking it slow
