(Verse 1)
Back when cartoons hit every Saturday,
No worries, just runnin’ outside to play.
Sneakers dirty, hands full of chalk,
Storytime nights with my grandma’s talk.
Ice cream trucks and schoolyard games,
Life moved slow, but it burned like flame.
(Pre-Chorus)
Didn’t know I’d miss it, didn’t see it fade,
But those were the bricks of the man I made.
(Chorus)
Back when the skies felt wide and blue,
When the world was small, but the dreams were true.
Holdin’ to the laughs, the bike rides too,
My heart still beats to the kid I knew.
(Verse 2)
Old photo box in my mama’s drawer,
See the smile I wore, nothin’ more.
Pops playin’ vinyls, soul in the room,
Now I play those beats just to feel that bloom.
No texts, no screens, just calls from the street,
Dinner at six, and life felt complete.
(Pre-Chorus)
Didn’t know I’d miss it, didn’t see it fade,
But those were the bricks of the man I made.
(Chorus)
Back when the skies felt wide and blue,
When the world was small, but the dreams were true.
Holdin’ to the laughs, the bike rides too,
My heart still beats to the kid I knew.
(Bridge – whispered tone)
I ain't tryna go back, just hold what’s real,
Time slips fast, but these wounds still heal.
Thanks to the past, I know what I feel,
The child I was made the man I reveal.
(Final Chorus – soft beat drop)
Back when the skies felt wide and blue,
When the world was small, but the dreams were true.
Holdin’ to the laughs, the bike rides too,
My heart still beats to the kid I knew.
