[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young

[Verse 1]
Uh, look, yeah
As I drive around the city that I live in
Lookin' all around me, I remember bein' children
Just havin' fun, we was some wild ones
With a three-mile-long smile on
As a kid causin' mischief, just monkey business
Stayin' up past midnight was such a privilege
I didn't have to worry 'bout shit
Fall and cut your knee, get the first aid kit
Had a crush on a girl, you wanna hold hands
Heard a slow jam, ask your girl to slow dance
Mom read me stories, thought I was Peter Pan
Pops did his thing, he taught me to be a man
Life went by fast, now I'm 'bout to be eighteen
Lookin' in the mirror, seein' what the world made me
And I'm satisfied, I think I'm doin' fine
Lookin' at the jungle gym I used to climb, I think

[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young

[Verse 2]
Uh
Then high school started, I'm rememberin' that
Walkin' round the halls, no clue where I was at
With my backpack, pants sagged, half mask
Crackin' jokes just tryin' to make the class laugh
I was and still am the kid that'll keep you smilin'
Little ladies man, girls never was a challenge
Never on the honor roll, too much chronic smoke
Am I in college? No, but to be honest though
I wouldn't have it any other way
I do it all the same if it was any other day
You gon' know when the time is good
'Cause ain't nothin' comin' close to your childhood

[Chorus]
Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world, I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young, I'm glad I'm still young

Mac Miller

Malcolm James McCormick (Jan. 19, 1992 – Sept. 7, 2018), who performed as Mac Miller, was an American rapper and producer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since releasing his first mixtape at just 15 years old, he became one of the leaders of the new school of young and highly talented “weirdos.”

Mac’s credibility in the rap game increased ten-fold and resulted in a slew of quality releases, including 2012’s Macadelic mixtape, his second studio album Watching Movies With The Sound Off, and his critically-acclaimed 2014 mixtape Faces.

He had multiple alter-egos, most notably his producer alias Larry Fisherman and his sick and twisted pitched-up persona (à la Quasimoto,) Delusional Thomas.
