Letras de 03' Adolescence

La-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la (yeah)
La-la-la (yeah), la-la-la

I grew up, a - screw up
Tie my shoe up, wish they was newer, damn
Need somethin′ newer, in love with the baddest girl in the city
I wish I knew her, I wish I wasn't so shy
Wish I was a bit more fly
I wish that I could tell her how I really feel inside
That I′m the perfect - for her, but then maybe that's a lie
She like a certain type of -, and it's clear I′m not that guy
Ball player, star player, I′m just watchin' from the side

On the bench, ′cause my lack of confidence won't let me fly
I ain′t grow up with my father, I ain't thinkin′ 'bout that now
Fast-forward four years or so from now, I'll probably cry
When I realize what I missed, but as of now, my eyes are dry
′Cause I′m tryna to stay alive in the city where too many - die
Dreamin' quiet, tryna to dodge a suit and tie
Who am I? (La-la, la)

Hey, who am I? (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Yeah

Things change, rearrange, and so do I
It ain′t always for the better, dawg, I can't lie
I get high ′cause the laws can be so cold
I might bend a little bit, but I don't fall
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
If you see my tears fall, just let me be
Move along, nothin′ to see

I always did - the hard way, my - slangin' in the hallway
Burnt CDs of trees like this was Broadway
Time Square, kept the dimes there in the locker
Some Reggie Miller with more brown hairs than Chewbacca
Whispers that he got it for the low-low
Sell a dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better
Besides, what′s 20 dollars to a - like that?
He tell his pops, he needs some lunch, and he gon′ get it right back

I peep gang, got home snatch, my mama keychain
Took her whip, the appeal, too ill to refrain
I hit the boulevard, pull up to my - front door
His mama at home, she still let him hit the - though
I told her, "Hello", and sat with my -, and laughed
And talk about how we gon' smash all the - in class
I complimented how I see him out here gettin′ his cash
And just ask, "What a - gotta do to get that? Put me on"

He just laughed when he seen I was sure
17 years breathin' his demeanor said more
He told me, "You know how you sound right now?"
You won′t my man's, I would think that you a clown right now
Listen, you′re everythin' I wanna be, that's why I - with you
So how you lookin′ up to me when I look up to you?
You ′bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices
Either graduate to weight or sell a number two

For what? A hundred bucks or two a week
Do you think that you would know what do if you was me?
I got four brothers, one mother that don′t love us
If they ain't never want us, why the - they never wore rubbers?"
I felt ashamed to have ever complained about my lack of gear
And thought about how far we done came
From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky
Thank you, mama, dry your eyes, there ain′t no reason to cry

You made a genius and I ain't gon′ take it for granted
I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain′t gon′ take what they handed
Now I'm gon′ take what they owe me and show you that I can fly
And show old girl what she's missin′, the illest - alive
Hey, who am I?

Things change, rearrange, and so do I (hey, who am I?)
It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can′t lie (who am I?)
I get high 'cause the laws can be so cold
I might bend a little bit, but I don't fall
One time for my mind and two for yours
I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
If you see my tears fall, just let me be
Move along, nothin′ to see

I never felt better
