Childmind

On sleepless nights

I sit and reminisce

Of the fun things I miss

Of the crazy things we did

Of foolish fights

After school

We thought we was cool

Walking home wounded

Mama called me stupid

And whooped my ass.

On sleepless nights

I sit and think

Of crazy dogfights

Of sliding in mud

With our bare behinds

You’d have thought we was mad

I’d break the bank

For a chance to rewind

Knowing pretty well it can’t be

I do miss my childmind

Carefree and full of bliss

I was really happy.
