Yeah, they say when we grow up
You'll understand when you're older
Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it
If I'll ever let go of this
Say goodbye to the old me (Yeah)
We ain't friends anymore
You don't know me (Real music)
I know I could die any moment
If I do just remember this
Yeah, handouts create lazy people
I'm not impressed with
You want something in life
Then why don't you go and get it?
Actions speak louder than words do
It's pretty quiet, isn't it?
Look at the world we live in
Defined by comment sections
Surround yourself with people
That challenge how you think
Not people that nod their head and act like they agree
Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed
Always be yourself not the person
That you pretend to be, no!
These people gon' tell you
That you will never make it
Then when you do, they gon' say
They knew you were goin' places
That's just how it works
Next thing you know you'll be overrated
Hearing people say they miss the "old you,"
It's crazy ain't it?
And perfect people don't exist
So don't pretend to be one
I don't need pats on the back from people
For my achievements
When I die I wanna know that I lived for a reason
Anyone can take your life
But not what you believe in, no
Yeah, they say when we grow up
You'll understand when you're older
Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it
If I'll ever let go of this
Say goodbye to the old me
We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me
I know I could die any moment
If I do just remember this
Yeah, don't take opinions from people
That won't listen to yours
If money's where you find happiness
You'll always be poor
If you don't like the job you have
Then what do you do it for?
The cure to pain isn't something you buy
At liquor stores, nah
The real you is not defined by the size of your office
The real you is who you are when ain't nobody watchin'
You spend your whole life worried about
What's in your wallet
For what? That money won't show up in your coffin, woo!
Yeah, anger's a liar, he ain't got no respect
I fell in love with my pain and I slept with my regrets
Happiness saw it happen
Maybe that's why she up and left
Joy called me a cheater, said she ain't coming back
I've always had a problem with relationships
But that's what happens
When you see the world through a broken lens
Mistakes can make you grow
That doesn't mean you're friends
Who you are is up to you, don't leave it up to them, no
Yeah, they say when we grow up
You'll understand when you're older
Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it
If I'll ever let go of this
Say goodbye to the old me
We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me
I know I could die any moment
If I do just remember this
Yeah, they say you got into music
You signed up to be hated
That's kinda weird
Cause I don't remember signing my name up
Coming from people that give advice but never take none
I like my privacy, but, lately, I feel it's invaded
I heard that life's too short, don't let it pass you by
We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time
It's not about what people think
It's how you feel inside
My biggest failures in life are knowing
I never tried, woo!
I look at the world from a different angle
People change; even Satan used to be an angel
Think twice before you're bitin' on the hand that made you
Don't believe what you believe just
'Cause that's how they raised you
Think your own thoughts, don't let them do it for you
Say you want a drink
Don't wait for people to pour it on you
Cut out the lies
Stay close to the people you know are loyal
Grab your own glass and fill it
Don't let your fear destroy you, woo!
