Once I was seven years old

My mama told me, go make yourself some friends

Or you be lonely

Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world

We thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limit

We were learning quicker

By eleven smoking, herb and drinking, burning licker

We were never rich so we were out to make a steady figure

Once I was eleven years old

My daddy told me, "go get your self a wife or you will be lonely"

Once I was eleven years old

I Always had that dream, like my daddy before me

So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

Something about that glory, just always seems to born me

Cause only those that really loved me, will ever really know me

Once I was 20 years old

My story got told

Before the morning, the sun light was lonely

Once I was 20 years old

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failures

Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major

I got my boys with me, at least those in favour

If we don't meet before I leave, I hope I see you later

Once I was 20 years old

My story story got told

I was writing about everything I saw before me

Once I was 20 years old

Soon we will 30 years old

Ours songs will been sold

We would traveled around the world and still roaming

Soon we will be 30 years old

I'm still learning about life

My women bought children for me

So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories

Most of my boys is with me, some is still seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind, my brother I'm still sorry

Soon I will be 60 years old

My daddy got 61

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

I hopes my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I will be 60 years old

And I will thing the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

Soon I will be 60 years old

Soon I will be 60 years old

Will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children's that can warm me

Soon I will be 60 years old (ooh oooh ooh)

Once I was seven years old

My mama told me, go make some friends or you will be lonely

Once I was seven years old
