[VERSE 1]
life was just a breeze, when i was just 13
livin like a king who could do anything
lookin up far, tryna wish upon a star
and hopin later on i would live to be something
but not just anything
and not just anyone
and ill do anything all just bc
in the end when u look me in the eye
i wanna be the one u tell ur most proud of
ur little shining star
whose dreams of going far just always seemed to be, the older i got
[just seemed to be more of a fantasy
[BRIDGE]
but no matter how many times it was told to me
i was never completely
ready fo
all that life, had in store for me, cuz
[HOOK]
thru my eyes as a child i could never see
just how different this life would turn out to be
when ur on ur own
fendin for ur own
tho u were always told
lifes not meant 2 b e z
tryna remember all the things that ur parents said
when u never listened when they told u that
this was important
lifes not meant to b e z
[RAP - VERSE 2]
well time went on
and it went by so fast
it seemed that every moment flew by ina flash
elementary thru high school
gone like that
seems so damn cruel how time can fly like that
evryday i get older i stay missin bein younger
tryna live as much as possible before they put me under
steady working nonstop just to earn a little dough
staring down the bills that just always seem to grow
and my days seems so much shorter watching months just come and go
so will i sit back and just wonder if i let my time go?
(hell no this boy wont!)
ima make it to the top
ima keep livin it up until the Lord tells me to stop, and even by the time i realize the lies i tried to hide inside me
facin time wasted inside me
when the writings on the wall directly behind me
says time doesnt wait
u gotta start acting promptly
cuz life can go by jus as fast as u blink
one minute ur 13 and the next
ur pushin 40
til very slowly u emotionally start going even deeper to emotional roller coaster
more commonly known to us as a geniune mid life crisis
shoulda known that life is
not what u thought itd b huh
(shit)
in life the easiest day was yesterday
so believe me when i tell u lifes not meant to be
[HOOK REPEAT]
