degenerates (extended version) ft. Zeke Lyrics

Sixteen, with a big dream

To see myself posted on the big screen

With a beauty queen to be with me on every scene

And maybe even make a few of our own

Living like that Lorde song Royals

Just trailer trash acting like he's someone important

Young, rebellious and don't wanna listen to no one (Whoa)

Thank God I didn't go thru it alone

We all had homemade tattoos

Stupid long haircuts of course our dads who

Hated that we had em

But he knew he couldn't stop us

House pets from turning into a bunch of monsters

I just keep reminiscing about that the days

We would hotbox in the parking lot or in alley ways

We didn't make time to grow up

But made time to screw up and fall in love

I said about a million times that I'm leaving the past behind me

But old habits die hard

And the bad ones die even harder

I've had the doubts and seen the lies

The demons attack inside me

I'm always fighting

I'm always fighting

I'm always fighting my own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

This house don't feel like my home

I been feelin' like I'm all on my own

Real gangsters move in silence

You hear the music it's just sirens

I'm just trynna tell my life story

How we made it out the jungle roaring

My life is a casino I'm just bettin' all in

I spend a couple racks and my bros we ballin'

Hit decline on them pries when they callin'

You drown in yourself way too often

When it seems rough just keep walkin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

I hope one day you change

Myself, I feel like I'm just

I hope one day you change

Myself, I feel like I'm just, yeah

I said about a million times that I'm leaving the past behind me

But old habits die hard

And the bad ones die even harder

I've had the doubts and seen the lies

The demons attack inside me

I'm always fighting

I'm always fighting

I'm always fighting my own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

My own degeneracy

(K)no(w) I ain't fast but my past is catchin' up to me

Cold in my apartment but I remember the summer heat

Hopin' and wishin' she didn't have to be done with me

Wishin' she wouldn't stop lettin' me touch her lips

Porch light flickers and says it's time to be comin' in

Neither of us liked it we were a couple disgruntled kids

Hated everyone and everything for the love of it

A bunch of little know-it-alls that didn't know nothin'

Forgive us Father for the arrogance and short comin's

We had in our youth and the things we happened to do

I didn't know what any of it meant, I was just following suit

And now all I got to talk about when I hop in the booth

Is all the ways I can apologize for dishonoring You

I know that You forgive me it's the most honest of truth

But if only I could hear it when I sit down in the pews

I nothing short of adore the creator of the stars

And I know that he'd want me to be united with the church

But I find more family-like fellowship when I'm at the bar

Even if they encourage me to be stupid and immature

I look at the path I was walking on and it sucked to learn

That it led to nothin' but a dead end

So I up and turned around

And then I found something now that I wasn't sure of before

'Cause I was stuck embracing us for what we were
