7 Years - Cryptic Wisdom

Once I was seven years old

My father told me

I’ll never leave again, you won’t be lonely

Once I was seven years old

I was a kid, I was seven

Never knew you or knew where you had been

What was the pen, too innocent?

Nothin' you said was makin' any sense

I was like damn, who is this man?

Standin' before me sayin' take a chance

Suddenly everything I thought I knew about the world

Was taken when I shook his hand

I was so mad, didn’t know why

Why was my name all tatted on your side?

Why did you mess with the bliss over me and my sister

We’re cool without you, doin' fine

We came around, you came around

Told us that you would never ever leave

Heart on my sleeve, letting it bleed

Waiting for you again 'cause I believed

Once I was eleven years old

My mama told me

I won’t do this again, need you to go please

Once I was eleven years old
