When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids selling drugs getting high in the woods
Throwing away their lives in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids getting knives in the woods
Careful don’t lose your life in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids selling drugs getting high in the woods
Throwing away their lives in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids getting knives in the woods
Careful don’t lose your life in the woods
Grew up in lands where your biggest fear was racists
Me and AT would dream of days when we would make hits
Then we would go to KBs we’d chat for hours
Chilling and gisting even if time was devoured
Typical day bucked Ire at Manor Way
We would kick ball and shoot hoops the next day
Story after story bout life in the ends
Kids asked me for weed I wouldn’t see this back then
I mean I went to school slyly outta town
306 hopped on the bus, then I was known for being loud
Disconnected from the woods I went uni and back down
By the time I got back, the world was in lockdown
One time I woke up early tired from the late night
See a text from Sope telling me he’s outside
Get in the car go gym and lift weight
Then had work nothing wild, just like every other day
That same night where I finished work late
Bible study was at 7 but I would arrive at 8
Decided to join the zoom and hit the bed to rest
Next day heard a boy got a bullet to the chest
Nothing more than a 7 minute walk from my house
Usually my way home whenever I go out
If I went I would’ve been there at the time it occurred
I mean could’ve gotten hurt on my way back from church
When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids selling drugs getting high in the woods
Throwing away their lives in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids getting knives in the woods
Careful don’t lose your life in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in the woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids selling drugs getting high in the woods
Throwing away their lives in the woods
When I was growing up it was always quiet in woods
No fear we could stroll in the night in the woods
Now there’s kids getting knives in the woods
Careful don’t lose your life in the woods
