All Grown Up

See there's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more
Yea
See there's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more

Them nights of pondering paid off of course contemplating my detour
With the straight and narrow life too short no being careful
'Less we talking bout my brethren ain't no leisure i'm they keeper
When one of us catch a blessing we make sure that shit infectious
We was soul searching together but them pigs call it loitering
Caught us for trespassing but tried to hit us with burglary
Ironic dodging bookings while we trynna get some shows
It's funny that you escape the same thing you run towards
But a war occupy my headspace cause people say
Ever since your tassel went from right to left you need to be an applicant
But when I work a shift it feels like an accident
No time for moving mountains i'm worries bout clocking in
I'm worried bout shoes that fit cause i'm only a size 10
I'm wary in my defense, my confidence on the fence
In a rush to become men we broke out of Neverland
Now they making rugrats pay rent man

It's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more
Damn
See there's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more

Lil Jimmy wasn't convincing enough so now we bastards
Chasing after our bachelors, masters, and golden sashes
Hassles that leave us cashless, I phone back home
And my niggas know the lyrics to the same damn song
I mean
What's a degree when you fiending to be elite
So you feeding all of these fees
But you feel that your well being is fleeting
You did all of this homework and all these papers
Just to find out that you wanna switch your major
Man this system ain't catered to the youth
Anytime that there's a mishap they say we don't make the rules
Now you got a PhD but you work in fast food
Cause they squeezed every dime and every penny out of you
So I told them I would open up my own institution
Where students ain't paying just to fuel they illusion
They said thanks for your 2 cents we can see you dream lucid
But you all grown up that imagination's foolish

Kid it's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more
See there's no more catching fireflies and watching for street lights
And no more lullabies and stories at bedtime
And no more happy meals cause we ain't small fries
No more
