Kindness is important
But honestly, isn't that common?
Resilience is informing
If you know whether if you've got it
And timing is alarming
And fighting ain't too charming
Some days, I wish I was younger
But back then, I thought it was such a bummer
Now I'm 19, driving around in L.A.
Sipping coke, dreams and air pollution, honey
I drag my problems, oh, my problems 'round like luggage
All I needed, needed was someone to tell me
To take your time
And enjoy the simple life
'Cause one day, shit gets real
And you'll wanna die (yeah, uh)
Good times, I wish I could just go back (go back, man)
Like a Thursday post throwback (damn)
Uh, that's my old at, I thought you knew that
Left my old life, uh, in my whole past (yeah, yeah)
Good times, we can sit and pretend
Shout-out my old friends who weren't really my friends (yeah, yeah)
When your head start spinning and your hope start missing
And your life ain't clicking, so you feel like quitting
You think you got it, then life turns the tables, man (aw, man)
I miss cheerios and basic cable, damn
My fake friends were saying dreamchasin' ain't even a plan
Now I'm praying that haters see me make it, man
Oh, honestly, I keep all in my mind, I'm not fine
I'll lay out on the table
All my friends forget me, never hit my celly
I don't what else to say
'Cause I give and get nothing, no respect
Never room for me on the sidewalk
Got blocked by a little thing from the east side
Looking for a green light 'cause you know that I'm
Now I'm 19, driving around in L.A. (driving around)
Sipping coke, dreams and air pollution, honey
I drag my problems, oh, my problems 'round like luggage (it's getting heavy)
All I needed, needed was someone to tell me
To take your time
And enjoy the simple life
'Cause (one day) one day, shit gets real
And you'll wanna die
Ayo, Brad
Honestly, I really think I got it figured out
Driving through the canyons this time
I can really spell it out
Might be the toxins in the air or the pretty brown skin on my mouth
But I think this older shit is cool
Better than the big boys that done peaked in high school
