Rex Orange County - 2008 Lyrics
Official




I'm in the back
Mama's driving 'round
I've been learning my raps
Doing it for all these different reasons
I love the way it feels
And now I'm inside
I'm listening to Nas
Illmatic, it's somatic
I'm not a fanatic
But I'll listen out of love
Lately, I'm digging

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

Black album, I've been listening to Jay-Z
Every day, pushin' in my CD player
Listen like I'm insane
It's the same each time I do it, ooh
Ain't no skipping through (skipping)
True, I was in a new phase
T.I just came with Paper Trail
And we got Tha Carter III from Wayne
808's from Ye
This was a simpler time
Simple days, 2008

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

I'ma free my mind and treat it kindly
Ten years old, I was unbothered
Spent my hours in the garden
I was alright (ah, ayy)

But I never gave up my love
I studied it all day long
Coulda been into sports, but
That's not where I belong
It wasn't until right now
Looking back over nuance
I was gonna be here somehow
Do not wanna say "I knew it," but
I did my young self proud
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I'm taking it slow
