[Verse 1: Tom Scott]
Used to drink Lion Red
All night up in the corrugated iron shed
That's how my time was spent
Kinda like the change when I used to go to buy the bread
Street fighter hyper fighting like it was for life or death
Used to cypher by the Avondale spider where my homie Tama used to buy (mahamaD) I confess
That was when I used to want to try rhyme like EM when he used to rhyme like Redman
I remember when
Used to write with left
Used to fight my friends
Used to try pretend I was hard, I was 10
Used to hang out with my homies, we were smiley then
Then they went inside and when they came out they were violent men
Used to be a Nike head
Shit I used to play that Mai FM
Used to do a lot of shit that I regret
My old lady used to wonder why my eyes were red, then I got the clear eyes and I got high again
Used to listen to the dude who lived inside my head
Used to say that we'd be happier if I was dead
Used to listen to the teacher saying I was dense cause I never read some book called Mice and Men
So I got a job packing rice
Swore on my life I'd never work a 9 to 5 again
Now I'm looking back on my - life
Like
This is now or now was then I remember when
[Chours]
I remember when
I used to be a stupid boy
I remember when
Now I'm a stupid man
I remember when
I used to be a stupid boy
I remember when
Now I'm a stupid man
[Verse 2: Lui Tuiasau]
Now I don't f..ck around
Now I moved outta town
Now I'm sweet on the days I'm down
Now I'm spitting free
Understand simplicity
Now the things that people say don't mean shit to me
Now I'm back in the stu(dio)
Now if I hit the wall then I'm pushing through
Now the weed's a tool
Now I don't wanna walk
Now I don't wanna talk
Now I'm tired after five minutes on the court
Now I don't wanna run
Now I don't wanna jump
Now I wanna love
Now I'm not in a rush now
I'm feeling old
Now I buckle up my belt when I hit the road
Now I know how it goes
Now's really all there is
Now's really all you have
Now I understand when it's gone you don't get it back
Now terrifies me
Now's why I'm writing
Now's a thing quicker than lightning
Now I like what I like
Now I write just to write
Now I'll let it slide
Now I don't wanna fight
Now I wanna see the world
Now I see god when I see my girl and I just wanna feed the birds with her
Now I don't need much
Now I cough when I hit the weed once
And death kills and that will come
So for now I'm in the now while there's still some
[Chours]
I remember when
I used to be a stupid boy
I remember when
Now I'm a stupid man
I remember when
I used to be a stupid boy
I remember when
Now I'm a stupid man
