Merry Go 'Round

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

See, when I was a kid, I be staring at PBS

Or playing tag at recess, feeling no need to be stressed

Could get whatever I want with just a simple request

Playing the part with no rest and come on in refreshed

'Casue life's a gift and I saw it as a blessing

Whenever I went wrong, we moved on and learned a lesson

I never felt the need to take a hit or blow the rezin

But now the feeling's gone, as if I was just messing?

And things have changed, now that I am 17

I start to realize that people often never dream

Sad to question how more on why we disagree

And why we so mean, I'm wondering why so few people have had a dream

And I'm wishing that it will just all slow down

I'm just trying to forget all that I know now

That's why I breath in slow and let the smoke blow out

So pass to the left until that green go brown

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

La la, lalalala la la

Lalalala la la

Lalalala la la

Yo, I throw it back a couple years, just for a minute

Spin it like a record, play it back until the finish

Listen to me tell it, lemme reminisce

See, it was forth grade when I first exceeded limits

Oh, I got suspended, shouts to Chancelor Bennett

Teachers acting offended, really they just pretending

My parents on my ass saying to pick who my friends is

Sit with it repentant, man, I never understood

How could all this punishment possibly lead to good?

Fuck a time out, I'mma live it how I should

I dipped out, while I hid my head under my hood

Hoping nobody could see me peacing to Hollywood

And it has been like a dream, I just haven't woke up

It's time to grow up, hopefully before I blow up

You know what? I just keep on giving no fucks

Cause if the living isn't great, then you should probably smoke up

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

And the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own

I'll always be a child

At the bone

La la, lalalala la la

Lalalala la la

Lalalala la la
