When We Were Young - Shifty

When we were young, everything was so new

We broke all the rules just to do it

And I don’t know how the hell I lived through it

Young and on the run, getting loaded like a gun

When we were young

Now time sure flies when you’re having fun

I wish I walked through life but I chose to run

I used to fien for abuse and play with guns

I played and payed the price, stil my life ain’t done

I remember running wild, not a care in the world

It was all about graffiti, and chasin' the girls

Running from the law and bar room brawls

Getting arrested callin' home with those late night calls, (When we were young)

Sorry mom, I’m in jail again

Tonight I got arressted with a couple of friends

You can either pick me up or send me some mends

Either way ma, it looks like I messed up again

Back to my P.O., or Rehab, or up north, to see dad

It’s just the way it goes when you were born to be bad

Actin' a fool, skippin' school, flicking off the principal

It’s hard for mom to believe me but she’s so convincable

Shoplifting gifts for the girls, with my boys

Walking out the sex shop, pockets full of sex toys

And, we’d bring the noise like you’d wouldn’t believe

At 16 started getting tattoo’s up my sleeve

Throwing up the 32, taking part in dirty deeds

So if you wanna get high, I got whatever you need

And if you wanna get em' up, I ain’t afraid to bleed

I’ve been to Y.A.

3 times, so don’t you step to me

While you brag to your parents about your A’s and B’s

I was underneath the bleachers with a THC

A GED, a Chemical Dependency, and a PHD in Whiskey and Stonerology

I lead the breakthrough in ways to use technology

You can learn from my mistakes but it’s more fun to follow me

And it’s never too late, I don’t hate who I’ve become

So let’s smoke another one and remember, when we were young
