(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
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
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
(Remember when)
When it was 2002
You started slinging coke
And had the dopest pair of shoes
(Remember when)
But yo this house just ain't a home
Since our father hit the bottle and our mother hit the road
(Remember when)
And time is something they say
You never understand until it slips away
And looking back I think you knew
I wanted to be just like you
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)
Now I'm tired of the violence
I'm so tired of the sirens
And it's better me, better me than you
Slipping and we're falling
Slipping and we're falling through ice
Slipping and we're falling
Don't know where we're going with our lives
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)
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, slipping and we're falling
Slipping and we're falling through ice
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 ice
