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
