Yo, I can remember sleeping
With my homies, stay up late by candlelight
Doin' all the things a kid dreams
knockin' on a girl's window
Sneakin' kisses on the cheek,
and kick it at the playground
I dreamt of goin' first round
Back in the day, I felt this all was only mine
and everything was fascinating
From all the sports to all the girls,
I didn't stress, but feel some status,
It was all about my friends
and games of Cracker Jacks
I wish I had those feelings back
but these memories I'll always
I've been so happy, and meant to break
Live life with no fear, don't let it run you
I know that things will get better, babe
but now I'm in the ninth grade
I think I really have it made
this love will never fade
My ego came, and watch it all disintegrate
with all the freaks and misfits
It was us against the world,
a gentleman would never speak up
But from that point I chased the
but made the basketball team
but varsity was all my dreams
despite the doubts from everyone
and you can never count me out
I never ever felt so free
These four years, they pass so fast
Where do I go, what will I do,
I've been so happy and then to break
Live life with no fear, don't let it run you
I know that things will always be same
Now I'm a man, I got a job but you see
The pressure's on to provide
So little time to run and play
my life ain't worth a damn in here
and grays are sprouting everywhere
They say you grow but to me
I feel the same, I'm scared
A little kid who wants to run
Wait for my friends to come and play
It's my kids turn to do these things
The virgin eyes I'm reborn
as daddy's time to reach him
from my childhood of fantasies
Let your dreams run free,
make realities, they seem the same
Cause everything is always changing
understand that life's amazing
and love in every minute of it
So I look back at this life,
I'm proud of how I did it
I've good times, and I've seen bad times
I've been so happy, and made you pray
Live life with no fear, don't let it run
I know that things will always be same
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away.
