How to Stay Young

[Intro]
Ah ha man
I've been thinking for a long time on this one
Watching cars pass, outside of my window, on 207
And Imma set it real straight, so listen up

[Verse 1]
Even if I got a penny for my thoughts
I'd still be a broke kid who never left the porch
I miss the memories I haven't had yet
And I miss the bus again I gotta make that long ass walk with
A blue and yellow sunrise reminds me of the blues below my left eye from the rap battle last friday
Who could tell me I'm not as real as I talk
I got a hand full of style and some sidewalk chalk
I'm gonna get out this small town before my hands wrinkle
Lately I've been dreaming more than rip van winkle
I'm a simple man [?]
Make me feel like were freshman again in the woods chilling
Around the roof where we listen to the birds
And I learn we all change like a stripper after work
So I gotta keep going till my knees break man
I got a plan to stay young till the scar on my cheek fades

[Chorus 1]
I try to make a scene like an ocean or a sunset
But I just make believe there are things that haven't come yet
My minds running speeds I've never even heard of
This is how you stay young, you laugh and you murder
And you never look back and you only look further than you've been
If you've been down, we've all been down and burned
But if you're growing old you better rethink it
I'm gonna end this story back at the beginning

[Verse 2]
Here's my advice
Promise more than doubt
Like the time we spent the day in town locked in your fathers house
And follow all the cars speeding down 207
Across the bridge of terabithia around 11
Said my feet were cold
Stepping on train tracks, looking for a way back home
To hit that party in my culdesac
Cause in the summer free teenage spirits
Spit G like a kid with a stutter
I light up the track can you hear us
Spending more time with that than you do in front of your mirror
Getting greedy for some jock, who thinks he's that cool
Says my raps are to serious, I wrote them all [?]
I heard you're living by your wallpaper pattern rules
Heard you never left the empty bleachers at your high school
And I've been sleeping on the street curb
Smoke another cigarette and walk it out until your feet hurt

[Chorus 2]
I try to make a scene like an ocean or a sunset
But I just make believe there are things we haven't done yet
My minds running speeds I've never even heard of
Yeah, This is how you stay young, you laugh and you murder
And you never look back and you only look further than you've been
If you've been down, we've all been down and burned
But if you're growing old you better rethink it
I'm gonna end this story back at the beginning

[Chorus 1]
