[Verse 1] I always had me a good laugh at school A cla** clown with a whole pack of Kools What can I say? That's what bad kids do A latch-key child that brought rappers through Now I'm up in the office, wearing shackles, boo At the water cooler, wanting to act a fool I don't wanna turn the page to chapter two Let's go back to youth cause the past was cool But I hate to admit that it's over now The place is filled with a much older crowd Grab a shot of good liquor, put the soda down Cats pull out straps, no one throws it down I remember rapping, having loads of fun All my friends at the Project Blowed was young Now most of us only kick flows for funds Paying bills became hard to overcome [Hook] I got a Peter Pan complex And I don't wanna grow up, grow up, grow up No, no, no If I give up my youth now just consider me dead Me dead, me dead, me dead, yeah, yeah They tell me I'm immature and I yell at them "So what?", "So what?", "So what?" Yeah, yeah, yeah It seems harder to let go the older I get I get, I get (ha, ha, ha...)
[Verse 2] I remember being a prodigy I'm not special anymore, there's a lot of me's Younger cats that are way more promising This kind of thing, shouldn't bother me But as you grow you start to think Like 'Am I too old to follow dreams?' Every day I hope that time will freeze But the clock ain't broke, it winds with speed You think about marriage, diamond rings You think about carriage, a child, his needs But I'm busy dreaming the lifestyle of kings Falling dollars, colored olive green Never really got into the college scene A semester turned into an autumn fling Most of ya'll are scared to fall it seems Go ahead, let out your inner child and scream [Hook] [Bridge] Wrinkles might form on our physical frame But age is a number, my mental remains I'm still entertained by the simple and plain The summer, the fall, the winter, and spring The older I get, the younger I feel I still believe in that one-in-a-mil Got sand on the beach and a castle to build I've seen it myself and monsters are real [Fade out with Hook]
