[Verse 1]
Flipping through the pages
Gripping tripping through the ages
There I was
When I was four
My only flaw
Was wanting more
Time with my sister
My brother
Teasing one another
Picking fights with each other
Stretching out our faces
So we laugh each other
Then we dive
To five
Arrive at six
When my only fix
Was getting mixed with school
Learning names of my peers
Making up games like pioneers
At seven
My obsession
A girl
Who took me for whirl
Through our own world
I eight I see my mother
Doubtful of our fate
From fear or hate
But not a tear to date
[Hook]
Childhood of change
Where the rules rearranged
As soon as they were learned
They were burnt to flames
[Verse 2]
As I'm holding my mothers hand
Leaving my motherland
Leaving my motherland's plan
Dodging the hand
They were trying to deal
When half her world
Said f** an appeal
I'm a make em feel
As I peel this back
Draw arms and attack
I'm a join the pack
She feared as we came of age
We'd write that same page
Follow rage to the same cage
Too real to feel
[Hook]
Childhood of change
Where the rules rearranged
As soon as they were learned
They were burnt to flames
[Verse 3]
Flipping through the pages
Whipping tripping through the stages
The car ride
To my new home
In that twilight zone
A city skyline
New to me
All these people
New to me
At nine
Assigned to
To a new cla**
Playing new games
On new gra**
Don't sh** move fast
Young enough
Twist my tongue
So I talk like you
Can't call my bluff
When I put myself in handcuffs
Tryin to walk like you
I guess that's just a stage
A phase that needed to get through
So the waves that proceeded
Would be true to me
Who I choose be
The man you see
I'm glad you let me be a
[Hook]
Childhood of change
Where the rules rearranged
As soon as they were learned
They were burnt to flames
[Verse 4]
Now i'm tryna stand out
Proud that i'm tanned out
Filter all the bland out
Make enough to hand out
Have it all planned out
Push all of my land out
Make my castle
Build up all my sand out
Pull all of your fans out
Show them what the real about
No fear -no doubt let me draw it out
Looking inside myself
And claw it out
So cold so raw
You need to thaw it out
What i'm all about
Leave you in awe I'm out
