Hindsight (Syd) - Childhood of Change lyrics

[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
