If you lucky you get old
Old timer told me
You aināt gonā be able to f*ck the same
Drink the same
Hang out the same
Iām like ā¦.
Once a man, twice a child
Yeah
Once a man, twice a child
Itās like a baby again
Strong motherf*cker when youāre young
I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl dope but I love my new girl
So when Iāma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
And I was young, scared
She aināt care, she made me fight
Fifty-two sweep you haymaker right
When I get old I hope that I can stay this fly
Once a man, twice a child
From Mamaās Boy to preschool to college to now employed Now you on, got your first crib, sheās having your first born Went from buying the finer toys with your boys To buying toys for your boy
Itās crazy how fast heās growing for sure
Grandpops he told me ābout his days of old
One day Iāll be him on the porch, sippinā on something cold And it stuck with my soul
I been divided at the road
Hot-headed as a youngster, confronted I might unload Now listen, knowledge I received as a seed, as a G That would feed my personal frequency
Transcends through all, travel through walls
My ministry we aināt know we was livinā hazardous Savages, first n*ggas in New York with Bentleys Tyson, Kedar, Puff, Stoute and then me
Before Many Men was out we went on tour to 50 Live while you got the strength to
Health you should tend to
Look all of aināt gonā get old I hope this message hit you For real
Strong motherf*cker when youāre young
I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl dope but I love my new girl
So when Iāma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
Iām tryinā to expand the pineal gland
The world aināt our home, just temporary please understand You die tomorrow then you born again, so life is deathless Respect and balance, human dignity thatās the perspective AimĆ© Leon Dore New Balance when Iām steppinā Time is precious
One day I might need my diaper changed inside a convalescent The soul is different than the flesh is
Life is teachinā me more, wisdom and ignorance is kin To have peace you need war
By the time you see the stars in the skies they already burnt out Same way these dudes be shininā but been burnt out But we donāt change, as we get stuck in our ways We just act like we agree so we can end the exchange Whatās meant for you is sent to you
But you could be the problem, itās not always them my dude Was she crazy before you met her or you made her crazy? Possibly she gonna be a nurse when you back to a baby Once a man, twice a child
Strong motherf*cker when youāre young
I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl dope but I love my new girl
So when Iāma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
And in the streets I had agility, was quick to strike My fearās not seeing it coming, got too rich for that sight So take advantage of your youth before you elderly Cuz today is the youngest that you will ever be

"We just act like we agree so we can end the exchange" ...The simplicity yet truth in that line...
