I used to dream of what I'd be when I grew up
Chest out, acting too tough like I knew stuff I'd be a lawyer a doctor self employer that
prospered Simple success and no stress, too much joy
to be bothered Little boy was too somber, surly, set poised
as a scholar Voice that would falter yet knew to make every
choice for a dollar .....Least that's what I thought, you go to
school Know the rules, before long it's you who control
the fools Swear I knew what I was doing, that delusional
illusion Infusing confusion brain rattled like obtrusive
contusions Life looms in a thousand different directions
Missing intentions, see end goals but only distant connections
Gettin older, can't help but feel I messed up
Gets harder and harder for me to keep my head up
They say hold it together but I get fed up Pushed to the limit, the problems never let
up
As a kid when I pursued my passions People helped me progress without misconstruing
the actions Now it's more like hey why do you do that
here's a few facts Heard two tracks, they blew bad, way too wack
you shouldn't spew raps Oh that's a love you have? Well you should
Go for it Stash the beast underground leave it in a
hole and quit (gopher) Holy ***, I just do it for fun
Amusement and puns a little letting loose of my tongue
Without abuse of the rum, a minor musical hum
Might think it's useless and dumb but it's soothing to some
Will I get famous? Nope. But does it matter? Nope
Call it catharsis, not like I cling to platinum hopes
Gettin older, can't help but feel I messed up
Gets harder and harder for me to keep my head up
They say hold it together but I get fed up Pushed to the limit, the problems never let
up
Don't know why speak to family maybe once a week
Seems we lack close connections I feel the love is weak
It's cause I don't try enough Fairly few interests match up so it's kinda
rough Am I grown now? Or just a bad brother
Dad *** and *** son to a sad mother? Promise I could fix it if I had a second time
Yet I make no change, sit here and mess with rhymes
I'm sorry for the many missed milestones Shoulda brought my smile home instead of just
a dial tone Lyrics are the only way that I know to tell
I love you, even if I don't show it well
