[00:01.38]If you lucky you get old, Old timer told me, yeah
[00:05.60]"You ain't gon' be able to fuck the same
[00:07.33]Drink the same, hang out the same", I'm like
[00:10.69]Once a man, twice a child, Yeah, Once a man, twice a child, It's like a baby again
[00:23.24]Strong motherfucker when you're young
[00:25.43]I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun
[00:28.26]Nintendo Duck Hunt, I ducked police, I had to run
[00:31.35]Meanwhile, when you get old, you might become futile
[00:34.27]My old style is a rough of my new style
[00:37.20]My old girl dope, but I love my new girl
[00:40.12]So when I'ma slow down this merry go round called life?
[00:42.94]I was a youngster with a fever, Moms brought cold ice
[00:45.85]And I was young, scared, she ain't care, she made me fight
[00:48.78]Fifty-two sweep you, haymaker right
[00:51.70]When I get old, I hope that I can stay this fly
[00:54.62]Once a man, twice a child
[00:58.08]From Mama's Boy to preschool to college to now employed
[01:01.00]Now you on, got your first crib, she's havin' your first born
[01:04.45]Went from buyin' the finer toys with your boys
[01:06.63]To buyin' toys for your boy, It's crazy how fast he's growin', for sure
[01:09.98]Grandpops he told me 'bout his days of old
[01:12.12]One day I'll be him on the porch, sippin' on somethin' cold
[01:15.04]And it stuck with my soul, I've been divided at the road
[01:18.48]Hot-headed as a youngster, confronted, I might unload
[01:21.14]Now listen, knowledge I received as a seed, as a G
[01:24.77]That would feed my personal frequency
[01:26.90]Transcends through all, travel through walls
[01:28.99]My ministry, we ain't know we was livin' hazardous
[01:31.71]Savages, first niggas in New York with Bentleys
[01:34.03]Tyson, Kedar, Puff, Stoute and then me
[01:36.05]Before Many Men was out, we went on tour to fifty
[01:38.87]Live while you got the strength to, health you should tend to
[01:41.52]Look all of us ain't gon' get old, I hope this message hit you, for real
[01:45.32]Strong motherfucker when you're young
[01:47.33]I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun
[01:50.26]Nintendo Duck Hunt, I ducked police, I had to run
[01:52.91]Meanwhile, when you get old, you might become futile
[01:56.27]My old style is a rough of my new style
[01:59.19]My old girl dope, but I love my new girl
[02:02.13]So when I'ma slow down this merry go round called life?
[02:04.95]I was a youngster with a fever, Moms brought cold ice
[02:08.03]I'm tryna expand the pineal gland
[02:09.80]The world ain't our home, just temporary, please understand
[02:12.72]You die tomorrow, then you born again, so life is deathless
[02:15.91]Respect and balance, human dignity, that's the perspective
[02:18.57]Aimé Leon Dore, New Balance when I'm steppin'
[02:21.49]Time is precious, one day I might need my diaper changed inside a convalescent
[02:25.37]The soul is different than the flesh is
[02:26.97]Life is teachin' me more, wisdom and ignorance is kin
[02:29.89]To have peace you need war
[02:31.39]By the time you see the stars in the skies, they already burnt out
[02:35.07]Same way these dudes be shinin', but been burnt out
[02:37.64]But we don't change, as we get stuck in our ways
[02:40.04]We just act like we agree, so we can end the exchange
[02:42.96]What's meant for you is sent to you
[02:44.81]But you could be the problem, it's not always them, my dude
[02:47.97]Was she crazy before you met her or you made her crazy?
[02:50.80]Possibly she gon' be your nurse when you back to a baby
[02:53.99]Once a man, twice a child
[02:55.58]Strong motherfucker when you're young
[02:57.71]I ducked a razor, ducked some punches, even ducked a gun
[03:00.36]Nintendo Duck Hunt, I ducked police, I had to run
[03:03.52]Meanwhile, when you get old, you might become futile
[03:06.89]My old style is a rough of my new style
[03:09.62]My old girl dope, but I love my new girl
[03:12.28]So when I'ma slow down this merry go round called life?
[03:15.12]I was a youngster with a fever, Moms brought cold ice
[03:18.30]And in the streets I had agility, was quick to strike
[03:20.95]My fear's not seein' it comin', got too rich for that sight
[03:23.88]So take advantage of your youth before you elderly
[03:26.80]'Cause today is the youngest that you will ever be
