Rizzle Kicks - When I Was A Youngster Lyrics






I can remember that when I was a little youth I,
Wanted to fly around the world making a new life,
I never thought today, I'd be what I am now,

Yo, wanted to be a fireman,
Than I lost the desire man,
The second I got old enough,
To buy myself a cider can,
Yeah, I was a smart little kid,
That side's departed me since,
These days you can catch me,
Sitting on the bench in the park with a lager and crisps

Back when I was younger,
I wanted to be everything on the planet,
Now that I am older,
It seems the ambition has vanished,
Yeah when I was a youngster,
When I was a, when I was a youngster,
Youngster, when I was a youngster
Yeah, and now that I'm older,
I wish I could've been everything that I wanted,
I'm on it

I think that if I think back back to the days
When I thought I didn't think that,
Nothing that I thought would not be possible,
Ha, try and figure that out,
Back when I didn't know how,
To settle for a desk job bring in those pounds,
I wanted to live in those clouds,
These days I deliver those sounds

I always thought of myself as a simple dreamer,
I never tried too hard but believed it,
Now all of a sudden, it's gone my way

Back when I was younger,
I wanted to be everything on the planet,
Now that I am older,
It seems the ambition has vanished,
Yeah when I was a youngster,
When I was a, when I was a youngster,
Youngster, when I was a youngster
Yeah, and now that I'm older,
I wish I could've been everything that I wanted,
I'm on it

  29. z.... s....

    What happened to you two?

  30. M.... j....

    I am Michelle 💕

  31. l.... a....

    The memories😢

  32. N.... C....

    The clash?

  33. J.... R....

    I hope people realise that this music isn't their own. The original song is The Clash's cover of Revolution Rock by Danny Ray. Sad that people believe Rizzle Kicks were smart enough to come up with their own music lmao

    J.... R....

    Loool they sampled a song (exactly like the clash did with Rev Rock), artists have been doing it forever. Your'e acting like they copied the song lyric for lyric. Although i'm a massive fan of The Clash, a large amount of their work was sampling or covering reggae songs. Fool.

  34. k.... ....

    you're still a younster

  35. D.... S....

    I love your songs 😍

  36. J.... V....

    🇰🇼

  85. N.... L....

    BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE MORE MUSIC.. WHERE ARE YOU?

  86. P.... ....

    Me too aha vvvv

  87. h.... ....

    Wow, they just straight up stole the intro from revolution rock by the clash

  88. K.... N....

    Man, to be fair, Rizzle Kicks were legit sick. Shame they sort of stopped making songs.

    K.... N....

    Wish they were bigger

    K.... N....

    Big Fat Mush, yeah. They really do deserve it. At the beginning I was like “awe they’re pretty talented. Cool, not many people know about them! This could be my thing!” But at this point, it just hurts to see how underrated they are. Literally every song of theirs is a banger. Not exaggerating.
    edit: I actually didn’t know they stopped making songs so I’m pretty bummed :(
