Language Arts Crew - Old Kids lyrics

[Intro] [Sample Quote from The Outsiders] [Cherry] Come and sit up here with us so you can protect us [Johnny] What do you think, man? Come on [Ponyboy] Might as well [Marcia] How old are y'all? Right… It's Language Arts… Check it out… [Verse 1 – Clint Westwood] Up to rise I rub my eyes only to find That the sunshine hides behind cloudy skies outside And now's the time. Devout to fight the unappealing It's been raining for six weeks and there's a leak in the ceiling My poor friend, me, not like the whiskey, is force-feed I got forty adorable who*es at my door to escort me Life is good, so I stab my knife into the woods [Typin' the right from the should?] and clean my pipes under your hood (Girl…) It's a lonely road back to my own abode In the moment, slow, slowing through the hole of my soul (Oh no…) Hope floats through the troposphere like the ganja dope we smoked this year Rolling out of focus in a broken mirror I wish Vric was here so we could sip a beer Shoot the sh** up out the weird: man, I still hold back the tears f**ing furious Ever since, I can't take anything serious Pissin' in the rain ‘cause I drink myself delirious [Chorus x2 – QS Zeus] Well, I'm an old kid Time to go give, got the mighty closed fist While the dominoes tip My mama knows best And I don't know sh** Girl, you're a mess, get this world off my chest [Interlude – Sample Quote from American Graffiti] [John] Go ahead. You go on over there and remember all the good times you won't be having. I ain't going off to some goddamn fancy college. I'm staying right here, having fun, as usual [Verse 2 – Vric Enoh] It's 2006 and we flipped through many pages Spread my life across the pavement, miss the loss and I can't take it The years are moving faster and I wish they would just slow a bit So I can catch my breath… And really get a hold of this Now bills to pay and 9 to 5. I an*lyze the worth of life And wish I could rewind the times to summer nights up on the rise Still rocking shows, but I arise before the sun do Adulthood overrated like the rats that run amongst you Thinking back to days when we were rolling in the galaxy Now the worry hold us back and giving a f** about a salary Digging in the seats for the [rich, still?] barely balancing Drinking large amounts until walking becomes challenging And it still is. I got some down-a** friends A rowdy group of heads, we bring the pigs out the pens We're on some Old Kids sh**, f** the pressures of life We're keeping good company and everything'll be alright [Chorus x2 – QS Zeus] Well, I'm an old kid Time to go give, got the mighty closed fist While the dominoes tip My mama knows best And I don't know sh** Girl, you're a mess, get this world off my chest [Verse 3 – Benny Medicina] Get this sh** off of the chest and old soul Mama knows best, you don't go Settlin', for so-so It's fast paced in this rap race, so roll slow There's fast paper and that's a danger as most know We beat blocking. Keep rocking these shows ‘Til my feet cease walking and depart from the road These memories will stick with me (stick with me…) Writin' my name through this city when I was broke, pulling 6.50 And I'm an old kid Show this, broke this, with a hefty buds and my old kicks Time keeps ticking. I was 2 double-O 6 Closed it. Family members, we must've grown quick And now we traded the beers for booze Adhere to the crew. This year was merely a miracle, crew (crew…) Rock-bottom to skyscrapin', no time wastin' From fine-paying to rhyme-making to lines waitin' Son, I'm staying 280 South, it's crazy now And Cali raised me something I wouldn't go a day without Yeah, the good times and the bad Tires are flat in the ride but I got five in the gas (so push it…) Keep rocking as long as there's blank pages to rip And sh**ty bars that'll play our hits (come on…) Put a quarter in the juke-box, pay our rent And let it spin ‘til we've made our cents [Chorus x2 – QS Zeus] Well, I'm an old kid Time to go give, got the mighty closed fist While the dominoes tip My mama knows best And I don't know sh** Girl, you're a mess, get this world off my chest [Outro] Take it away, Lee… [Sample Quote from The Outsiders] [Johnny] I'm gonna miss you guys. I've been thinking about that poem. That guy that wrote it. He meant you're gold when you're a kid. Like green. When you're a kid, everything is new. Dawn. Like the way you dig sunsets, that's golden. Keep it that way, it's a good way to be. There's still lots of good in the world [Sample Quote from Hook (1991)] [Maggie Darling] Now there is one rule I insist be obeyed while you are in my house. No growing up…
