lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel a lot of the heat
All this rain on my head man
I'm better off dead
Man better off with my thoughts and some headphones
Playing Andy Mineo bumpin' "Formally Known"
That's so proper
Pass a Chevron and stop to get a doctor
Keep me in a 'Zona
Few people that I know really wanna
Chill with the kid and get him high now
I'm just trying to get by now
This school life is a mess
Barely have the care to pass a test
The longer that I'm here I'm only giving less
Boy that's real
I ain't really have a teacher that I feel
Could teach me much
I knew a few girls on the bus that could teach me lust if I listen
And I'm trying to hustle with these beats and such
Me and my parents ain't really speaking much
So the music is how I keep in touch with my feelings
I just really hope I reach the millions
What I need this little schooling for
A lot of its bore
A lot is nothing more than a popularity contest
It's all non sense
The way these kids act like its
Life and death but neglect where there mind is
Astrology ain't a science
But we reading stars
Scared to face where we are
Treat this walk like a bar

[Hook]
She said she never wants me to leave
I told her that I ought to just go
She told me all I need was tree
Then I could feel her soul (light it up)

I told her that I need some peace
She told me that it's easy to find
Just follow me down to the gray
And baby I can ease your mind (let me ease your mind)

[Verse 2]
I've grown up
I've grown up with all this passion
Because no one is understanding
Live life for just the moment
These t-line kids know the saying
My class is so close knit
I don't know if I'll be in
And what's worst is if I give
All of me then I lose myself
To all these kids who just play with all their goals
The weed is just the devil who offered them a whole
New perspective on life all they have to do is sell their soul
And they don't get it
They swear they're living
But what's worst is I tend to agree
I mean I started talking like them intentionally
And interestingly enough I'm fallin' for some traps they set up
I guess I'll go big or go bust
I know the bible says my feelings I shouldn't trust
Because they might lead me astray
Well they're gonna lead me today
Why I got all these feelings man just leave me to play
Because computer screens really might be the death of me
And Kendrick got me tempted by the recipe
Really want the weather sex and the weed
Really wanna forget the world around me
All of these gray skies get to me
I don't want the sympathy
I just want to feel alive again
I'm tired of this playing this long game of pretend

[Hook]
I said i never want to leave
She told me that I never should go just go
She told me all I need was tree
Then I could feel her soul (light it up)

I told her that I need some peace
She told me that it's easy to find
Just follow me down to the gray
And baby I can ease your mind
