[Verse 1]
My granny said, "Stay away from Dwayne and Dwight"
You ain't 'bout that life" (You ain't 'bout that life)
My cousin Shawn stay back with Uncle Sonny in O'Dell
I was curious, I went across the street with Malik
I knew my dear would be furious, rallied by marriage
Besides we are right outside
Homie said, "We finna slide to get a bag of fries"
I locked eyes with Shannon, I felt his soul yell, "Cousin, say no!"
I can't afford to let Dwayne think I ain't down to ride
But I was scared to ride in the alleyway
Florencе and Main, click-clack, popped the trunk
Then young mеn begin to politic
Blasé blah, woopty woop, cuz cuz, click-clack
Begin to feel the fact that I might not make it back
I saw right behind that Golden Ox my life might come to an end
I was only ten (Only ten), only ten

[Verse 2]
The greatest threat to freedom they say we harboring terrorists (T-terrorists)
As if Syria is a monolith, I see down the street four men from Isis
Drag the homie granny by her hair to the street
They said, "Give us your sons!" but it sounds worse in Arabic
She was so confused, her family Pashtun
It was that day we learned we lived inside a Caliphate
Bullseye for targeted airstrikes, the air might
Have us like [?] you get used to it
In come the U.S. troops, I'm 'posed to trust you
Like, you on my side, like, I ain't never seen the news
You look at them fools and think that's what Muslims do
At least when you step inside my house, take off your shoes!
How am I 'posed to choose?
I was born in a war, the darkest parts of men
And I was only ten!
How old were you?
