Stereo MC's - boy (feat.Jamie Collum)

When I was a boy I didn’t understand

Why encouragement was kind of hard to combine,

To make her dream come true

Sometimes you gotta fight,

I had to push myself to make a better life!

When the days were long, with nothing much to do,

Should I tell myself that nothing could improve?

No, I had to try, and give myself a hand,

I didn’t love if know was in my hands!

Chorus:

When I was a boy

It’s just a matter of time

When I was a boy

It’s just a matter of time

And now that I’m a man, my tools are in the van,

I wanna see the game on Sundays, 

And maybe check her friends!

Don’t think about regrets, ...it’s you

Falling in, falling out, dreams are falling through!

You see me going, get alone, 

When I’m not… 

I think about the days that were gone when I was young!

Chorus: (x2)

When I was a boy,

I think about the days that were gone when I was young!

When I was a boy, 

It’s just a matter of time
