Don’t Wanna Grow Up Lyrics by Dekay

0

Stay sharper than a severed blade centered on your veins
Send the poison to your brain and turn you seven deadly shades
My friends are never paid and we’re all very afraid
That one day we’re gonna grow up, our sentiments are strange
It’s some elemental change that no president explains
Once you become a parent, no evidence remains
Of the person that you used to be, freedoms a delusion see
Now your under scrutiny and have to pawn your jewelry
To buy the kids some bits now your life is wrapped up beautifully
You’ve gotta pay the bills and you mustn’t chat unsuitably
But I don’t wanna grow up, this attitude ain't new to me
I’ve clocked a lot of miles now I’m older than I used to be
Who are we?
And who led you here to believe
That usually you should act your age well thats news to me
Why should I act or re enact what you choose to be
I’m about to run outside and rap stupidly!
I’m still running around...
Like I don’t wanna grow up
I’m still gunning em down
Cause I don’t wanna grow up
I still talk on the beat like I don’t wanna show off
That ain't me
Cause I don’t wanna grow up, I don’t wanna grow up
Swig cider from a brittle can this is Britain man
A self educated thief living off of little scams
This is grand but I’m broke still in debt call the prison van
Benefit street evident freak with no written plan
I’m hyper bring the Ritalin and some extra vitamins damn
When I was young I was riddled with plans
So how come they’re all ridiculed fam
Just cause I ain't in my twenties, don’t mean that I should give up like Nan
Take up knitting, say fuck living
Stop smoking pot you need one to piss in
They’re not quitting, stay stuck quitting
Everything you do is going back in the system
It’s so depressing, 31 and convalescing
They’re condescending, and now I’ve gone beyond depending
On validation from people cause it’s just long pretending
Roll up the rizla carry on I’m ending
Years rolling by on the clock and I’m sitting on the block
Nobody can go out, cause they ain't got no babysitters
Write crazy lyrics with a toddler climbing on my back
I crave the space to make and re create my scriptures
We’re lazy innit cause it’s easier just to relax
Fall into circular patterns with our partners
We can’t afford to go out or to pay our council tax
Pay with cheque and next day they’re bouncing back
Who let the bailiffs in? I’m surprised they left the house intact
Fuck getting drunk give me an ounce of crack
I wouldn’t smoke it I’d sell it because I’m poorer than that mouse I trapped
Give me a battle every round I’ll smack
But those days are gone these are new days
Which amounts to jack
Music is my escape, the equivalent of going down the pub or getting drunk and in a row with thugs
It sets me free when no doubt I’m stuck
Like Peter Pan with some lines round his eyes
Man I’m out of luck
