Lyrics

Yeah I'm just a young boy

Expressing the speaker's youthful status.

Playin' in the big streets I said

Describing the speaker playing in significant, possibly challenging, situations.

"I swear I'm gonna make it"

Declaring the speaker's determination to succeed.

So glad I caught you faking

Noting satisfaction in catching someone pretending or being deceptive.

I can't, help but feeling, like you did nothing but hold me down

Feeling hindered by someone, possibly the one caught faking.

I can't turn back around cause I'm, going way too far above the ground

Unable to go back because progress has been made and the speaker is soaring high.

I was just a young boy

Reflecting on the past as a young boy.

But hell I'm still a young boy

Stating that despite time passing, the speaker still considers themselves a young boy.

Now you're looking at me sideways

Others observing the speaker with suspicion or doubt.

Don't get my name twisted

Requesting others not to misunderstand or misinterpret the speaker's identity.

Just fourteen

Reiterating the age of the speaker as fourteen.

Ain't no way to tell where I'm goin'

Expressing uncertainty about the future direction.

Ain't no way to tell where I'll be

Emphasizing the unpredictability of the speaker's future.

But I can promise you one thing

Promising future success by being featured on television.

I'm gonna be on your big TV

Aspiring to be on television as a symbol of achievement.

Hey, I'm only fourteen but imma make my dream my reality

Despite being young, determined to turn dreams into reality.

Yes I'm humbled where I am at but don't you come back in here for me

Acknowledging current humility but rejecting dependency on others.

Yeah I'm just a young boy

Reiterating the speaker's status as a young boy.

Tryna' get up onto his feet I said

Struggling to stand up and move forward.

"I swear I'm gonna take it"

Renewing the commitment to success and seizing opportunities.

Gonna take any chance that comes my way

Ready to take any opportunity that comes the speaker's way.

You was knocked up faded

Referencing a past relationship that ended poorly.

Now I'm missing all my chances to throw you out

Regretting missed chances to break away from a negative influence.

But then I found out what you were all about

Discovering the true nature of someone after some time.

Now I'm stuck here wondering cause I'm, I'm just a young boy

Feeling trapped and questioning the circumstances as a young boy.

But I was even younger back then

Reflecting on being even younger in the past.

I swear, back then

Swearing about the past, suggesting strong emotions or convictions.

Ain't no way to tell where I'm goin'

Reiterating uncertainty about the future.

Ain't no way to tell where I'll be

Emphasizing the unpredictability of the speaker's future journey.

But I can promise you one thing

Repeating the promise of future success on television.

I'm gonna be on your big TV

Restating the aspiration to be featured on television.

Hey, I'm only fourteen but imma make my dream my reality

Despite age, recommitting to turning dreams into reality.

Yes I'm humbled where I am at but don't you come back in here for me

Acknowledging current humility but rejecting dependence on others.

Just fourteen

Reiterating the age of the speaker as fourteen.

Ain't no way to tell where I'm goin'

Reiterating uncertainty about the future.

Ain't no way to tell where I'll be

Emphasizing the unpredictability of the speaker's future journey.

But I can promise you one thing

Repeating the promise of future success on television.

I'm gonna be on your big TV

Restating the aspiration to be featured on television.

Hey, I'm only fourteen but imma make my dream my reality

Despite age, recommitting to turning dreams into reality.

Yes I'm humbled where I am at but don't you come back in here for me

Acknowledging current humility but rejecting dependence on others.
