[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
I wish
I was a kid again
Not for the sake of a childhood
I never had one
All I've ever known are cop cars at my door
I could never play outside with my friends and so much more
They say it's a blessing if you follow your own road
But to be honest I think it's false hope
There's splinters in palms from climbing that rope
And now that very thick string is wrapped around my throat
Consequences of a kid who never found his home
Now his body in the ground raising a grave stone
Bless the kids who got their own
Mom's and dad's that help them roam
My hearts gone cold like zero degrees
Just marry the guy who has a college degree
Be free be free just not with me
I'm bounded by my guilt and now I'm paying the price
I wish Bob was still around to make it right
But i fight
Just to find
Better faith
Better light
Better stop
Better go
Better be a better before I'm
Gone gone gone
Gone gone gone
[Hook: Patrick Watson]
I just wanna die for now
I just wanna die for now
I just wanna die for now
And I know that you know
[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
Moms telling me to step out of my delusions
But all I ever breathe is dreams and confusion
I have a lotta talent but yet I'm not amusing
I'm abusing my confidence
Trying to get right up off of it
Because I'm losing and using
All the money I ever made
Working minimum wage
Scrubbing toilets
Serving coffee, donuts, and so much more
This roller coaster life's got me feeling so nauseous
I'm spitting everything from my heart to my conscious
I let go of her how could I be so heartless?
How could I be so heartless ?
Now it's all about a dream
Smoking weed
Making cream
Drinking tea
Self esteem
Social commodities
Does she love me or hate me
Does she need me or want me
Am I a safe bet if all else fails
Am I your last choice because he's not there
If there's someone on your mind be sure to let me know
Because in this crazy life you're all I've ever known
You're all I've ever known
[Hook: Patrick Watson]
I know that you know
So damn hard
Hard to let you go
I just wanna die for now
I just wanna die for now
I just wanna die for now
