Once i was seven years old, a dream had told me one day i'd be married under palm trees Once i was seven years old I was a girl with a plan but you thought yours was better You pushed me close to the edge then sent me sweet love letters By eleven i was broken, crying in your sweater Never again would i fall, you couldn't stand the pressure Once i was eleven years old, my brother told me, don't worry 'bout these boys just get your money Once i was eleven years old i always had that dream like my brother before me so i started working, grinding, started stacking money Everyone called me honey, cause i was still so sweet I didn't let the riches change me, never folded in heat Once i was sixteen years old, the parties got old The morning after was always so gloomy Once i was sixteen years old I almost went to jail, almost ruined my future who would want to be around a girl that's so stupid? I had my boys with me, at least that was in my favor Then those same boys went and put my ******* life in danger Once i was eighteen years old, being alone got old I went and found someone who was there at night to hold me Once i was eighteen years old Soon we'll be thirty years old, our story pretty bold We got married barefoot under the palm trees Soon we'll be thirty years old Little ones learning about life, our love is constantly growing I'm so happy as his wife, he's what keeps me going Most of my friends are in jail, dead or close to dying I did my best to save them but they just kept justifying and its so hard to talk to someone when their ego's showing If I reach sixty-years old, then he'll reach sixty-five We'll sit back and reminisce of simpler times When we were young and happy dancing in a waterfall with nothing to lose because we'd already lost it all If I don't reach sixty-years old, will my story be told? Or should i write a book detailing everything? If i don't reach sixty-years old If I don't reach sixty-years old, will my story be told? Or should i write a book so you wont miss a thing? If i don't reach sixty-years old Once i was seven years old, a dream had told me one day i'd be married under palm trees Once i was seven years old Once i was seven years old...

Seven Years (Song Rewrite)
Once i was seven years old, a dream had told me one day i'd be married under palm trees Once i was seven years old I was a girl with a plan but you thought yours was better You pushed me close to the edge then sent me sweet love letters By eleven i was broken, crying in your sweater Never again would i fall, you couldn't stand the pressure Once i was eleven years old, my brother told me, don't worry 'bout these boys just get your money Once i was eleven years old i always had that dream like my brother before me so i started working, grinding, started stacking money Everyone called me honey, cause i was still so sweet I didn't let the riches change me, never folded in heat Once i was sixteen years old, the parties got old The morning after was always so gloomy Once i was sixteen years old I almost went to jail, almost ruined my future who would want to be around a girl that's so stupid? I had my boys with me, at least that was in my favor Then those same boys went and put my ******* life in danger Once i was eighteen years old, being alone got old I went and found someone who was there at night to hold me Once i was eighteen years old Soon we'll be thirty years old, our story pretty bold We got married barefoot under the palm trees Soon we'll be thirty years old Little ones learning about life, our love is constantly growing I'm so happy as his wife, he's what keeps me going Most of my friends are in jail, dead or close to dying I did my best to save them but they just kept justifying and its so hard to talk to someone when their ego's showing If I reach sixty-years old, then he'll reach sixty-five We'll sit back and reminisce of simpler times When we were young and happy dancing in a waterfall with nothing to lose because we'd already lost it all If I don't reach sixty-years old, will my story be told? Or should i write a book detailing everything? If i don't reach sixty-years old If I don't reach sixty-years old, will my story be told? Or should i write a book so you wont miss a thing? If i don't reach sixty-years old Once i was seven years old, a dream had told me one day i'd be married under palm trees Once i was seven years old Once i was seven years old...
