Kids

I wanna ride a bike again, take a gummy vitamin
Never judge a person by the struggle that they're in
I was so innocent, little did I know though
Life as an adult is like falling down slow mo
Swing from the treetops, converse, any socks
Fight with our fists out, never would I see Glocks
Stay bumping D Block, Biggie and Pac
Never would I cry when Doc gave me a shot
If I made five bucks then I thought I was rich
Would laugh so loud at the simplest shit
Well look at me now, my life is a bitch
What would you do different?
I would watch more Rugrats, learn more fun facts
Pay more attention so I wouldn't flunk class
I would jam to my Walkman, play with the chalk and
Jaywalk the street while I'm standing and talking
Help out my mom more, sweep floors and do chores
Eat more of these smores and sit by the sea shore
Be more polite and soar to new heights
Higher than I been before

I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again
I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again

I wish that I could go back, back when we had real fun
Yeah, I'm talking way back, back when we were real young
Used to play with fake funs, now they play with real ones
Used to feel no pain, but nowadays I feel tons
I wish I didn't fuck up in grade school
Listen to my momma, went to college like an angel
And everybody in this world is different, na they ain't you
Gotta make it in this life but if you do they hate you
What the fuck is with this world it's so hateful
Everything I've been through has made me so grateful (that's true)
I'ma take this time out just to say thank you
To everybody watching my back at all angles
Ever since a kid I been pursuing my dreams
Ever since a kid I just been doing my thing
So mind your own business, stay true to yourself
And anything you ever wanted you could do it yourself
All the stupid things we did, I wish we did again
I'd give whatever they wanted to be a kid again
I wouldn't change shit, I'd do the same shit again
Yeah, I'd do the same shit again

I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again
I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again

Said I just wanna be a kid again
I wanna feel like I'm alive instead of feeling dead
I'm always all up in my mind with all the shit we did
But what I wouldn't give to never give a shit again, so here I am
Living out the same predicament that all my people living in
The teacher said if I don't study hard, I'll probably dig a ditch
And looking back it kinda makes sense, now I can barely pay rent
And everything I built is starting to cave in
I'd take it back but you know what?
The only thing I wanted as a kid was to be grown up, I fucked up
I rushed through my childhood and did shit my own way
I thought that everything was going fine and I'd be okay
But we running out of sand in the clock
And now my mind is always moving like I'm Michael J. Fox, so what up
Somebody better bring me to speed
It's 'bout time that I get some relief, I need to breath
Take you back to 'bout the sixth grade
Way back before I ever made it past the third base
Everybody that I knew was on a first name basis
And now I barely even recognise ya'll faces, yeah
I think about the shit that we do
We used to be a circle but now we stuck in a loop and it's true
They tell me I should get with the tune
But fuck that, take me back to my roots
That's too real

I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again
I wanna sit back and listen to the boombox
Dance all night while we party on the rooftop, do shots
You rock, who's hot, who's not
I just wanna be a kid again

I just wanna listen to the boombox
Yeah, yeah
I just wanna chill up on the rooftops
Yeah, yeah
I just wanna listen to the boombox
Yeah, yeah
I just wanna chill up on the rooftops
Yeah, yeah
