lyrics

Verse 1 -

sign my life away, i learnt to fly today
i faught the grain, the struggle felt like a lifely place
but it aint the place for me, the troubles chasin me
i see the same faces, but look away anothers facin me
it aint my place to speak, i put my tongue in cheek
i vibe the background, its comin back around youll see
i reminisce all the songs ive written
and if i never wrote to brendon, would my life different
if i never had a scuffle, would i ever been in trouble
would i ever met some people if i never learnt to hustle
would i ever make sense if i never made some dollars
quick money burns quicker then all the trouble that follows
fake friends i never hate them, they taught me some lessons
i treat my music like religion, and this booth is my confession
so many questions, like if i wasnt gifted
would i work a 9 to 5, keep on followin the system
i was facin some time behind bars, now im writin out these bars
tryna get a fresh start
if i never used that bottle, like the cage of my emotion
never did graffiti, lucky i never took up smokin
right? my insides didnt need it
after beatin kidney failure i already felt defeated
and needed a change, all i really needed was space
my historys repeatin, need to leave, im gettin away
but its true im findin solace in the train tracks that i follow
with a black hat and a north face, and a marker that i borrowed
dont wake me up tomorrow, cause im hopin ill be gone and
i was busy makin changes, making dreams about recording
but shit i cant afford it, so i racked it like the lines ive written
but somethings missing, id risk it all to be non existent
these vivid pictures, of picturing perfect people
aint serving the purpose, and consider us all equal so...

chorus -

you said, you said, you said you said, boy you better grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, im never gonna grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, gimme a man
you said, you said, i said fuck what you said, im pennin this open letter

you said, you said, you said you said, im never gonna grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, boy you better grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, gimme a man
you said, you said, i said fuck what you said, im pennin this open letter

Verse 2 -

Crossed in a lotus I'm floating, sipping the potions I'm focused
Spitting in chakras I'm half of the eightfold but I'm foldin
Spitting the fire I'm frozen, training my thought to be open
When it matters in my mind, it doesn't matter I'm hoping
the path that ive chosen, less travelled but moulded
to the choices and voices, gettin this weight off my shoulders
im tryna vibe with em, cant seem to find my rhythm
writin rhymes riddles, thinkin about my life decisions
speak with an open mind, step in the open mic
my brains in overdrive, over thinkin alone at night
im over thinkin, ill overdose on this seratonin
i set the tone, when im heavy handed and barely copin
its what i do when im puttin my heart and soul in it
walkin on the planets, my presence has no limits
theres lessons in a sentence, but at school i never showed love
they tellin me to grow up, so i tell em shut the fuck up

chorus -

you said, you said, you said you said, boy you better grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, im never gonna grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, gimme a man
you said, you said, i said fuck what you said, im pennin this open letter

you said, you said, you said you said, im never gonna grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, boy you better grow up
you said, you said, you said you said, gimme a man
you said, you said, i said fuck what you said, im pennin this open letter
