[00:11.862]If you saw the younger you, what would you say to them?
[00:14.290]I would say, "Thanks." I would say "Peace"
[00:17.016]I'd tell "Soon child, you're going to find release"
[00:24.655]Long time coming to right now pipe down lifetime looking for things I thought I'd found already, falling to the floor like I'm alright I'm steady
[00:32.060]I send myself back so I can tell me
[00:33.895]Twenty years deep in the rhyme of beats and I'm still so far from finding peace
[00:38.476]Every line is a ladder I can climb through time and I walk Straight faced through these winding streets
[00:43.382]I eat the bread of rhythm I drink the milk of rhyme
[00:45.844]I've been carrying a bag of shamе that's bigger than me
[00:48.230]Dragging it behind mе, up an endless staircase, until the day I realised this doesn't mean what I think it does
[00:54.040]I don't need to carry this forever, I left it in the clearing by the fire pit and ran
[00:57.794]Back to the child I was looking for an elder I saw myself there I took myself by the hand
[01:02.510]When I was young I sought help from my older self I came into my head I told me know yourself
[01:07.324]When I was young I sought help from my older self I came into my head I told me know yourself
[01:16.979]I was seventeen heaven seemed close enough to touch I had never been happier, chest against the barrier
[01:21.812]Watching Wu-Tang my own character starting to bloom
[01:25.283]I was learning how to capture a room in two phrases
[01:27.212]Twenty years deep in the rhymes of beats close my eyes and speak down the wires of time I go back to the child I was when I put myself on the line
[01:35.914]I had to beg for the mic, I had to deal with they ignorance, had to get better I wanted bigger things
[01:41.433]These days, those days they are far away, try and catch them in my sights but they start to fade
[01:46.282]Now I sit amongst crate loads of rhyme books and I think about the days that the time took I thank the little me that put the work in
[01:52.757]Could you picture me when you were spitting sixteens?
[01:54.949]Surfing the top deck penning them bars, underaged in the clubs taking charge of the mic
[02:00.224]Precautious little nothing with the world in his sights
[02:02.742]I am on it now I will work harder
[02:05.642]This is peace to the kid I came after (Peace to the kid I came after)
[02:10.128]The words of the bridge between the present and the past I know myself at last
[02:14.651]When I was young I sought help from my older self I came into my head I told me know yourself
[02:19.062]When I was young I sought help from my older self I came into my head I told me know yourself
[02:28.182]I told me know yourself
[02:34.481]Soon child you're going to find release(Soon child you're going to find release)
