Shepard - Since I Was a Kid Lyrics

There comes a time in everyone's life where they have to take credit for what's theirs
Well it's about time I take credit for what's mine
Here we go

I quit Giving credit to the substances
I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
I quit Giving credit to the substances
Cuz I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid

Society playing follow the leader
The leader is broken lost and defeated
Followers unsure what to believe in
Chaotic life get a family get a job
Stay in school work too hard
Believe in the meaning they feeding
Even if the party's uninvolved
Take all the medicines lessoning self care
Breaking all your spirit to stress help they're
Making us all feel the fear of failure
Currently hate residing in the hearts of the hurting weak
Esoteric burning ancestral turning key turning in me to ask is there any way to be free
Got me looking for anyway to be free

I quit Giving credit to the substances
I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
I quit Giving credit to the substances
Cuz I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid

Poet from a young age I remember hellish hurting had me turning to new outlets to express my pain
Till one day I took a pen to page listening to 50 em 2 pac n Dre
OutKast common nas and jay I steal like an artist as my heart just
Bleeds onto the page
Fast forward 10 years later Hard to pretend that i ain't destined to be a star on that stage
The hardest way
Is often the most rewarding
Lately
I been grinding practicing my rhyming pushing forward soul pooring
Good morning to new life praise all
Who da newest do this movement soothe your mood or am I just wasting my time
I just wanna share the brightest rays from up above the highest place of my mind
Sunshine on the inside lemon coated roll aid warrior action packed with more plays
More thanks praise up to lords grace aye

I quit Giving credit to the substances
I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
I quit Giving credit to the substances
Cuz I been creating since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
Since I was a kid since I was a kid
