03’ Adolescence (Explicit)

Yeah yeah
I grew up a **** as screw up
Tie my shoe up
Wish they was newer
Damn need somethin' newer
In love with the baddest girl in the city
I wish I knew her
I wish I won't so shy
I wish I was a bit more fly
I wish that I could tell her
How I really feel inside
That I'm the perfect ***** for her
But then maybe that's a lie
She like a certain type of nigga
And it's clear I'm not that guy
Ball player star player
I'm just watchin' from the side
On the bench
'Cause my lack of
Confidence won't let me fly
I ain't grow up with my father
I ain't thinkin' 'bout that now
Fast forward four years or
So from now I'll probably cry
When I realize what I missed
But as of now my eyes are dry
'Cause I'm tryna stay alive
In the city where too many niggas die
Dreamin' quiet tryna dodge a suit and tie
Who am I
Aye who am I
Yeah
Things change rearrange and so do I
It ain't always for the better dawg I can't lie
I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your
Thoughts to sooth your soul
If you see my tears fall just let me be
Move along nothing to see
I always did **** the hard way
My niggas slangin' in the hallway
Burnt CD's and trees like this was broadway
Times square
Kept the dimes there in the locker
Some Reggie Miller
With more brown hairs than Chewbacca
Whispers that he got it for the low low
Sell a dime for a dub
Them white boys ain't know no better
Besides
What's twenty dollars to a nigga like that
He tell his pops he need some lunch
And he gon' get it right back
I peep game
Got home snatched my mama keychain
Took her whip
The appeal too ill to refrain
I hit the boulevard pull up
To my nigga front door
His mama at home
She still let 'em hit the blunt though
I told her hello
And sat with my nigga and laughed
And talked about
How we gon' smash all the ******* in class
I complimented
How I see him out here getting his cash
And just asked
What a nigga gotta do to get that
Put me on
He just laughed when he seen I was sure
17 years breathing his demeanor said more
He told me
Nigga you know how you sound right now
You wasn't my mans
I would think that you a clown right now
Listen you everything I wanna be
That's why I **** with you
So how you looking up to me
When I look up to you
You 'bout to go get a degree
I'ma be stuck with two choices
Either graduate to weight
Or selling number two
For what
A hundred bucks or two a week
Do you think that you would know
What to do if you was me
I got four brothers
One mother that don't love us
If they ain't want us
Why the **** they never wore rubbers
I felt ashamed to have ever complained
About my lack of gear
And thought about how far we done came
From trailer park to a front yard
With trees in the sky
Thank you mama dry your eyes
There ain't no reason to cry
You made a genius and I
Ain't gon' take it for granted
I ain't gon' settle for lesser
I ain't gon' take what they handed
Nah I'm gon' take what they owe me
And show you that I can fly
And show ol' girl what she missing
The illest nigga alive
Aye who am I
Things change rearrange and so do I
It ain't always for the
Better dawg I can't lie
I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your thoughts
To sooth your soul
If you see my tears fall just let me be
Move along nothing to see
I never felt better
Better
Better
Better
