[Verse 1]
Life is super weary with all its twists and its turns
Sometimes you risk it all, and it burns
Ashes in the air, then I'm left with my depression
Swallowing my words, chasing down with all my questions
Like, "How to go and fuck it all up?"
Or sit back and just watch it go bust
All the pretty lights, a couple nights in the city, I don't know
Thinking everything I lost, I can find it on the road
While life gave me lemons and I hate them
But bitch, I got the snickers lemonade stand
Hey, you can knock on everything I made, damn
But I'm steady cutting lemons like I'm rain man
Knock me down, I stand back, I'm rocking now
Ready for action, got too many slaps to count
I'm saying one more round so they count me out
And telling all the collectors this is not my house
[Chorus]
We'll be the kids we've been forever
We ain't changed up, but we're not the same, hey
It might not ever get better, hey
That's okay 'cause we're the brave ones
[Verse 2]
I was young, a little naive, a little dumb, little one
Either screaming at the top of my lungs and feeling numb
I wanted the world although I couldn't fit inside it
I wanted a story, but I didn't wanna write it
And so I'd run, I spent so many nights waiting for the sun
Can't even tell you all the roads have been down, blocks have been round
Times have been found and crowns I put down
If you want a Barbie, you should buy one
'Cause I'm not doing shit, no assignment
I don't care if I'm a role model or an icon
I'm just tryna do what I want
And I'm super bored of all this media trash
Looking at girls these days, and they need me bad
I got a feed full of ways that I can shave my ass
Fuck the world tryna shape me, I'mma shape it back
[Chorus]
We'll be the kids we've been forever
We ain't changed up, but we're not the same, hey
It might not ever get better, hey
That's okay 'cause we're the brave ones
[Bridge]
One, two, three, four, don't be hard, just be hardcore
Five, six, seven, eight, never let 'em see you break
A, B, C, D, if you don't like me
X, Y, Z, you're probably really dumb
One, two, three, four, don't be hard, just be hardcore
Five, six, seven, eight, never let 'em see you break
A, B, C, D, if you don't like me
X, Y, Z, you're probably really dumb
[Chorus]
We'll be the kids we've been forever
We ain't changed up, but we're not the same, hey
It might not ever get better, hey
That's okay 'cause we're the brave ones
