"If I Was You" lyrics

Dear young me
I did it
It ain't a dream no more
It's a business
Fresh wax 94 in the engine
But fast cars
Only get you fast women

Funny what you'll find
Yourself missing
Pretty much everything
That you didn't
Sittin with pops
Sippin hops, in mas kitchen
These days ya miss those days
So don't miss it

I know you feel misunderstood
But don't forget you got it good
Be everything that you want to
But don't outgrow your roots
You can cry and still be strong
Heartbreaks always worth the fall
It's alright to get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget Things I thought I knew
If I was you

Dear young me
You're living
Them stars lined up
With the vision
And you ain't thought
Of that girl in a minute
Guess you got to lose
A lot to keep winning

You'll learn a lot
When you're fishing
Even more when
Grandpa come to visit
And that piano ya hate
Gonna pave the way
So just pay the man
To come fix

I know you
Feel misunderstood
But don't forget
You got it good
Be everything
That you want to
But don't outgrow
Your roots
You can cry
And still be strong
Heartbreaks
Always worth the fall
It's alright
To get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget
Things I thought I knew
If I was you

If I was you
If I was you
If I was you

This morning
I had a talk with mirror
A conversation
You know too well
Even after all these years
I'll still tell myself

I know you
Feel misunderstood
But don't forget
You got it good
Be everything
That you want to
But don't outgrow
Your roots

You can cry
And still be strong
Heartbreaks
Always worth the fall
It's alright
To get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget
Things I thought I knew
If I was you

If I was you
If I was you
If I was you
