Scott Horscroft - Child lyrics

[Hook 1] When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya [Verse 1] I had a father who came from nothing He took that and he made it something He'd seen it all by his 21st, right His mum and dad both left this earth, why? It was the drinking that k**ed his mother He's watching the same thing k** his brother And he doesn't say it much but he really loves us And he doesn't want the same thing to k** his sons When he sees me with a drink in my hand I understand now why he thinks that it's bad Cause he knows that it's so evil But he knows we're our own people, so he lets us go [Hook 2] When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya When I was just a child, I didn't know much about ya Now I know, now I know, now I know, oh oh oh [Verse 2] See, I don't know if God's real But if he is I can image how God feels And there's things I'd discuss with him I bet he wouldn't change much But there's sh** he would have done different When my grandpa pa**ed away I remember saying bye on his last few days And I'm hoping there's a heaven I want to meet again And I never met anybody as positive as him Not many were as sick as him But he didn't let the illness k** his grin And that's why I went ahead and inked my skin Cause I remember the smile when I think of him [Hook 2] [Verse 3] I didn't know that my brother got bullied in school If I could go back now, I wouldn't be fooled He probably thought mum and dad don't f**ing care But it wasn't even that, they were so unaware Living in a family where money is favored Makes us wanna say, I f**in' hate it Brother though we gotta feel blessed as f** Just remember they only want the best for us We got a mum that's an angel, I'm thankful To even have her in my life, I'm grateful Family is anybody that close to you See this song right here, it is overdue For you… [Hook 2]
