Andrewwilson - Came of Age (Happy 18th) lyrics

[Intro] I know I've been on bit of a hiatus But, it's necessary though If you stick around, you'll find out why And if you don't, well you'll find out later Reason I'm back though, I had something to get off my chest And so, that's what I'mma do [Verse 1] Back when my momma told me not to grow up, I told her I gotta be a man If my loved ones needed a helping hand Like Captain Hook off of Peter Pan I'd be there to see em stand, on they own two like a monument Monetarily prospering isn't the same as a positive living experience, though Gotta take what they offering, chasing dreams is an option And it could land you in a hammock Or land you in a land where no ones handing you money and food You scramblin', for a piece of the pie Picking crumbs from the bakers thumbs cause n***as ain't make you none Eat or starve in the streets, you know, a closed mouth don't get dough But you gotta feel the heat before your bread rise it lies in the yeast And so I opened mine, spit a bit of flame in the underground And you just might blow, man the games like a coal mine You taking shots?I hold mine in the chamber till the scope's lined With all I ever dreamed of, f** a Benz and a Beamer I need the chance to fund a family off the talent that I was handed A goddamn desk job is what the second plan is Only way that way of life won't make me think to take my life Is if I had some knuckleheads coupled up with a faithful wife It's one girl I talk about it with, each and every now and then Gotta give it a couple years till I see if she down with it, sh** If magazines and t.v is the level I get to She might be the only one I could trust and commit to Maybe I'm a dreamer, nah, i'm more of a logical thinker I know the chance is slim but I gotta believe for me God, I wonder what you seein' in me Cause hours after I wrote that I seen what the dream could be f**ing horrid, cause the girl I spoke of before is Most likely only seeing friendship in the future for us And I don't connect easily rarely I get to meet 'em Even rarer I get the feeling there is really something between us And labels is f**ing shady, rappers ain't f**in' cakin' I do it all for the love, but love gon' feed a crying baby, huh? Is love gon' get me a burger when I ain't ate, b? Even now the love can't keep a smile on my face, B So what I'm left with? Goals of love and a family But, no one to mesh with Goals of being an artist when only garbage is poppin' off And even then you barely get the checks And that thought just changed my dreams to a d**h wish But here we are, you wrote this in your happy home But you eighteen today, gotta get out, and move along Fresh off a ruined plan for your life too kid? I feel your pain, but you'll get used to it I do wanna wish you a happy birthday, though [Outro] You finally came of age By the time you guys hear this I'll be 18. Actually, I'm droppin this on my birthday so I will be 18 Butchyeah that's all man It's Left
