Millennial Interlude

(album: intern aquarium. - 2016)

Nobody told me 'bout my 20's
Nobody told me 'bout my 20's
Yeah

I ain't in the trap, but I'm in a trap (Yeah)
I need Chris Brown money, yeah, "Gimme That"
Life's the only bitch worth my time
I ain't worried about women that don't hit me back
Can you pay my telephone bills? Bitch!
I don't got time to chill, Swish
I am not Johnny Gill
But I'm making new editions of my will
Spread my ashes across the sea
For any millennial as lost as me
Matter fact, don't call me that, chasing commas
So we get high, like apostrophes
Oh you a smart nigga that went to a smart school
But tell me what you gonna do with that degree?
'Cause it take one dumb nigga to pull one dumb trigger
And bang, fuck your philosophy
You say my generation's crazy
But yours didn't have any social media
Yours didn't have anyone deleting ya'
The answers to everything Wikipedia
Information-Age kids, we different
Having basic conversations, y'all didn't
Maybe one day, I'll change the world
But 'til then, I know that I won't be living
By your expectations, you only die when complacent
I work like I'm in the basement, though I still am
Things that you do for the 'Gram
What would you do for a grand?
I've turned down jobs you would love to have
Never lost sight of what I'm meant to do
I ain't move to New York for a corner office
I wanna' own the building so I can pick my view

Nobody told me bout my 20's
Nobody told me bout my 20's
Nobody said it be this hard
They told me, "Boy, go get your money"
They told me, "Boy go get your money"
But I ain't working for a job
I'd rather do it on my own time
Find a way to smile till the sun shines
Yeah, we smoke weed
We get drunk
Don't give a fuck 'bout what you want
But we are
We are
We are us
