Seeing my little brother whip on his bike with his friends
Makes me remember those days, I want it all again
Remember when I hit a tree going too fast around the bend
Then in a few months' time it happened all over again
When it was hot we prayed for rain
When it happened we played in rain
Felt like young kings during the summer we reign
At my grandmothers on maple
During the day that was a usual stable
For a group of rambunctious animals
Chewing chips and slurping down danimals
Hit the corner store with quarters, a whole handful
First real kiss in my friends basement
So nervous I almost puked on the floor
Dreamcast till our hands were sore
Chill for a bit then fire up the N64
Do it all again till cabin fever sets in
Pool in the yard, fill it to the brim and cannon ball in
Trips to the beach with the extended fam
Crash in this spot called walls where the walls were paper thin
Glow sticks in the sand, ice cream bigger than my stomach
Didn't care, I had the cash and decided it's what I wanted
Running around with my friends and my kin
I never thought we about us evolving from boys to men
These days work and grind, no like chainz it's true
Fingers crossed one day I'll be in a selfie with the who's who
Up in the air sipping patruce chewing lamb and couscous
Sk**s chill in my pocket like a bitty baby roo
Just have to unlock them and tap into to them too
If I ever blew, people would look like who knew
For now I'm just an average man
Trying to figure out how to stand on my own
I used to stress more and I'm trying to chill
Like warm drinks in the freezer starting to chill
Gas up the car then leave town
Each and every time it's just for peace of mind
Dream while I'm awake, I don't even sleep at times
Now it's sinking In, we're no longer kids
People are starting families and giving significant other's rings
I'm not there yet so I'll just witness everything
That's fine with me, maybe I'll get there
Maybe I never will
Seconds fly, that phrase holds weight
Growing up we never thought we would have power
Then you control your land
The remote controls are in your hands
Posted up in both of our palms
Live loud or just cruise on the calm
Drunk off gin and Sprite screaming on the phone
Maybe one day I make this earth feel like home
Till then I'm just being observant
I remember when we used to get chips and drinks for two quarters
Now people blow chips for drinks and two quarters
Catch me everywhere I could mold and bend then change everything I am
But I wouldn't be me
Enjoy this downtime while I've got it to spend
I didn't imagine us growing from boys to men
