how it is
(Nobody really knows how it is
Growing up shouldn't go like this
How can you understand it?
When I'm talking bout' problems like)
I can never chill with my homies
Outside of school hours
Cuz mummy doesn't like that
And sonny doesn't have that kind of power
So I've been smokin' weed in my shower
I've figured out a system
First you turn the heat up on the water
Then you let the steam make the difference
But I feel myself fallin' and spirallin'
F.O.M.O. affecting me, parties I'm missing out
A weight on my shoulders cuz shorties don't like me
Causе I can't come over and kiss on them
(I'm going through changеs)
And hormones are dangerous for kids on the internet
I'm on chatrooms and playin' roulette
With these strangers for sympathy, tell me you get it, but
You don't know, you don't know how it is
Do ya?
You don't know how it is
How could you know how it is?
If you ain't never ever had to live like this?
You don't know, you don't know how it is
You don't know how it is
My family on a power trip
Why can't they just let me be a kid for a bit?
It's probably cuz I'm brown, right?
At least, well, that's kinda what it sounds like
When the straight A's got me on house arrest
Well, somethin' bout' that doesn't sound right
It must be in our culture
My grandma eyeing like a vulture
My grandad say I don't pray enough, but
Maybe if he let me out to play, I would
Cuz I've been sneakin' round' on the low
I hid the hookah but my mum found it
I hid the texts but my mum found it
I hid the weed but my mum found it
She always sniffing 'round like a hound and shit
Man, I don't know if I could stick around with this chick
But soon as I get my ass in college, you know
Imma get my ass outta town for a bit, cuz
You don't know, you don't know how it is
Do ya? you don't know how it is
How could you know how it is?
If you ain't never ever had to live like this?
Look, you don't know, you don't know how it is
You don't know how it is
My family on a power trip
Just let me be a kid for a bit!
(Tell me you know what I need, yeah
Tell me you know what I mean, yeah
Tell me one day I'll be free
Tell me one day I'll be me
...maybe one day)
