Who originally recorded these lyrics ?

[When I was a ...]

I've heard these lyrics sampled or used in Method Man's song 'bring the pain' and Teddybears song 'Little Stereo'. I've spent much time searching the internet, but I can't find an original artist. Anybody got a clue?

When you listen to the tune you'll know the artist was NINJAMAN (not tiger..). Sorry, my mistake.

Patrik Arve from the Teddybears is actually a big fan of reggae. He even refers to himself as Swedish Tiger (partially a reference to a Swedish idiom and also the artist) when selecting reggae.

Crazy, I heard a weird cover by Mindless Self Indulgence called Bring the Pain, always thought that Method Man was the original.
