New Kids ft. Eli Swims Lyrics

I woke up this morning thinking to myself

I need a change of scenery

Maybe it would come so easily if I would just

Open my mind to other possibilities and other adventures, but

That's why I gotta get out in the open

Let me tell y'all a story right now

Heard they fuckin' with the new kid, that was where it started

Had 'em watchin' on what I did, keepin' it professional

But all my business low-key, a couple fake smiles

Got 'em actin' like they know me

A couple fake smiles

No, I don't wanna cause no problems here

I'm just showin' up to get paid

And my intuition gettin' sharper than that blade

So, I can see it comin' from a mile away

Part of me is always drawn to child's play, we just a couple kids

Tryna make a bit of money, spend it on the drugs

Now it's gettin' kinda funny, cause I never been that center of attention

I forgot to mention, this is like the only way I form any connection

So, I'ma pass that spliff and let that marijuana burn

While you tell me all the things, you still wanna learn

This a marathon, so I can't be wastin' all my energy

I'm not even 25, I got a lot ahead of me

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only

Quit gasin' me up

I hear the partying neighbours, won't even come save us

They all gettin' wasted, can't tell what they sayin'

Trippin' all over the place, hungover by the day

They do it all over again and act like they made it

They act like they better than us, passin' the spliff, yeah the blunts

Popular kids on the bus, but we never givin' a fuck

We never cared about worries, teachers like givin' us shit

Comin' back home in a hurry, grabbin' our bikes and we dip

Friends are smokin' backwoods 'till backwoods look backwards

Take the spliff and run, they yellin' at me, want they woods back

Mama starin' at me like the backwards is a bad word

Hide a lighter in your pillowcase, cause your nightmares need an answer

All our nightmares need an answer

Runnin' but the demons movin' faster

Escapin', gettin' higher, blowin' rings up like a Saturn

Dreamin' like I wanna be a, like I wanna be a rapper

Heard they fuckin' with the new kid, that was where it started

Had 'em watchin' on what I did, keepin' it professional

But all my business low-key, a couple fake smiles

Got 'em actin' like they know me, a couple fake smiles

Like we used to sit around

And play some Nintendo

But now we in this bar thinkin', where did the time go

Like it was only yesterday when we was hostin' Lego competitions

And it never really mattered who was winnin'

Summer days and those heat waves got us

Bike whippin' and rippin' it through the maze

Little brother rode that scooter so I slowed down

Can't believe we're old now and we're grown now

Funny how we've grown, we've grown

Like I hope, we've grown

Yeah, I hope, we've grown

We grown

We gone
