(Verse 1)
Ayo, Remember when we were back in the day, young and bold?
Nothin' to hold us back, just runnin' wild and hard to hold.
Dreams bigger than the sky, nothin' could stop our flow,
Pure joy in every move, wherever we would go.
We were tight, a crew, always side by side,
Keepin' it real, nothin' to hide.
Nobody frontin' to fit in, didn't have to play a role,
Just being ourselves, confident and bold,
But somewhere along the way, the world snuck in,
Filled our heads with doubt and insecurities begin.
(Verse 2)
AYo, then things got flipped, awkward and shaky,
The world doin' the most, nothin' felt steady.
School days hit, hallways cold and wide,
Whispers cut deep, nowhere to hide.
If you ain't have the kicks, the flyest gear,
The look, the cash, the in-crowd would sneer.
Chasin' that clout, we started to fade,
Lost ourselves in the games we played.
Changin' up, frontin' hard to belong,
By the time we grew up, we'd lost where we came from.
(Bridge)
By the time we hit adulthood, man, we'd tried so hard to fit in,
That confident kid was gone, lost in the world's sin.
We were chasin' acceptance, forgot who we really are,
Now this journey back to ourselves feels like we're left in the dark.
(Hook)
Trying to fit the mold, changing again,
Chasing acceptance that never ends.
You look for approval from the faces around you,
But with every mistake, more of yourself you lose.
You try to help, you do what you can to fit in,
But those you seek acceptance from, they fade away in the wind.
The only affirmation, the truth you need to see,
Is in the hands that created you, in God's love you'll be free.
(Outro)
If you're out there searchin' for somethin' to hold onto,
Tryna find yourself in someone else's view,
Just look inside, you're good, you're perfect, it's true,
God made you special, there's no one else like you.
Find who you are and stay that way,
Don't let the world ever tell you you need to make a change.
(Hook)
Trying to fit the mold, changing again,
Chasing acceptance that never ends.
You look for approval from the faces around you,
But with every mistake, more of yourself you lose.
You try to help, you do what you can to fit in,
But those you seek acceptance from, they fade away in the wind.
The only affirmation, the truth you need to see,
Is in the hands that created you, in God's love you'll be free.
The only affirmation, the truth you need to see,
Is in the hands that created you, in God's love you'll be free.
