Verse:
(Remember when) When it was 1992
/
Two little kids stealing records, skipping school
We must have been like only ten
Taking life for granted till we learn it had an end
(Remember when) And time is something they say
/
You never appreciate till you age
And to this day you never knew
I wanted to be just like you
Chorus:
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
Verse:
(Remember when) When it was 2002
/
You started slinging coke and got the dopest pair of shoes
But yo this house just ain't a home
Since our father hit the bottle and our mother hit the road
And time is something they say
/
You never appreciate till you age
And to this day you never knew
I wanted to be just like you
Chorus:
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
And now I'm tired of the violence
I'm so tired of the sirens
And it's better me, better me than you (than you)
And now I'm tired of the violence
I'm so tired of the sirens
And it's better me, better me than you (than you)
Bridge:
Slipping and we're falling
/
Slipping and we're falling through our lives
Slipping and we're falling
/
Don't know where we're going with our lives
Chorus:
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
If I only knew
Then what I know now
Then what I know now
Now I'm tired of the violence
I'm so tired of the sirens
And it's better me, better me than you (than you)
Now I'm tired of the violence
I'm so tired of the sirens
And it's better me, better me than you (REmember when)
Outro:
Slipping and we're falling
/
Slipping and we're falling through our lives
Slipping and we're falling
Don't know where we're going with our lives
Slipping and we're falling
/
Slipping and we're falling through our lives
