Now picture a scene, little 9 year old me, rockin' light up sneaks walking in the middle of the street like I own the beat, can't get a hold on me, can't be controllin me cuz I'm strolling and rolling to my own beat. Take another sip outta the juice box making sure not to step on cracks upon the sidewalk
the simple pleasures of a kid yet to be measured by the real world, The Real World? Nah, I don't see much MTV I keep it tuned to my cartoons with my bowl of Reese's, Candy for breakfast? Nah man, the cereal, For cereal, I've been spittin lyrical miracles so sweet and so surreal
that I feel, I'm on top of the class at sugar high, Even as a kid man, sugar's what got me by, only in school Sugar's the girl with the pretty eyes in the next aisle from me in US history, I feel U-S could make history, you feelin' me? Cuz US spells us, and that's...
Okay, so she wasn't the brightest. But she was def the best and I aint that righteous and like REO, you know I can't fight this So i'ma right this wrong, and i'ma write this song, and I'll be sippin' her sweet tea before too long.
[CHORUS]
You've got your whole life, what you gonna do with it? I'ma try livin' it, yes, i'm gonna try livin' it.
[VERSE 2]
Fast forward a few years and I'm slouched on a couch with a pout like a child that can't go out, only now that sour expression is cuz I was taught a lesson got a taste of my medicine from a girl i was going steady with, and she made quite a mess when she left, both in my apartment and in my heart, man
There's nothing like these existential crises, writing sappy poetry with a bowl of ice cream. Well Ben & Jerry, I'm putting my foot down, I'ma turn this life around starting right now! Hakuna Matata, that'll be my mantra! I'll seize every day, have everything my way!
And maybe we'll see it's a childish mindset, but I know kid me hardly ever had stress, so I think I'll fight for my right to be childish. Cuz it wasn't that far back up in the past when I could pull up out my pack a pack of holographic cards and wave em around like grown ups flaunt their yards.
Like I could've ruled the world with a Charizard. Now I need a house, a hot wife, and a sports car. I thought assembling Exodia was hard. Not you, me, nor Yugi could've seen through these lies on the movie screens, what we want is what we need. Not to say I don't have dreams, but for now, I just wanna be
Me. Is that asking too much? When I say I don't trust the system around us? I've had enough man, just veg out with my friends chill until my life ends, maybe form a rock band. Wouldn't that be something? Cuz you have your whole life, what'll you do with it? I think I'll live it.
