Back When I Was Young

“Back When I Was Young” is a reflective rap about growing up with both happy memories and real hardships. It tells the story of being raised by a single mom doing her best for four kids, learning that life is not always fair, and becoming grateful for the little things. From county fairs, swimming in the slough, catching crawdads, and riding bikes at the B&B jumps, the song looks back on the freedom and innocence of childhood. It also touches on growing up around drugs, gangs, and the search for acceptance and belonging. At its heart, “Back When I Was Young” is a reminder to enjoy childhood while it lasts, because one day you will look back and realize how fast those years went by.
