2008

F#
I'm in the back

Mamma's driving 'round

I've been learning my raps
Doing it for all these different 
  B
reasons

I love the way it feels
               F#
And now I'm inside

I'm listening to Nas

Illmatic, it's somatic

I'm not a fanatic
                       F#/A#
But I'll listen out of love

Lately, I'm digging

            F#               Bbm
Free your mind and treat it kindly
           Ebm
Ten years old, I was unbothered
          F#           Bbm
Spent my hours in the garden
        Ebm
I was alright

Black Album, I've been listening to 
Jay-Z

Every day, pushin' in my CD player
                 F#/A#
Listen like I'm insane

It's the same each time I do it, ooh
          Ebm
Ain't no skipping through (Skipping)

True, I was in a new phase
F#
T. I just came with Paper Trail

And we got Tha Carter III from Wayne

808'S from Ye
                    F#/A#
This was a simpler time
             B
Simple days, 2008

        Ebm
Now my life's moving too fast-paced,
 yeah
        F#         Bbm
So I'm taking it slow
Ebm                        F#  
I've been moving much too fast
Bbm  Ebm


              F#              
I'ma free my mind and treat it 
  Bbm
kindly
           Ebm
Ten years old, I was unbothered
          F#           Bbm
Spent my hours in the garden
         Ebm
I was alright (Ah, ay)

F#                     Bbm
But I never gave up my love
                      Ebm
I studied it all day long

Coulda been into sports, but
                     F#/A#
That's not where I belong
                     Ebm
It wasn't until right now
                    F#
Looking back over nuance
                    F#/A#
I was gonna be here somehow
                     Ebm
Do not wanna say "I knew it," but
                         F#  Bbm  
I did my young self proud
Ebm


Yeah, yeah, yeah
         F#       Bbm  Ebm
Now I'm taking it slow
