Kid

This is a song that I wrote
It's what I'm living and breathing
It's a pop melody
That doesn't mean it has no meaning

I keep on thinking
How will I make it
Spending every Saturday night
Making music in my parents' basement

Feed me to the lions
Cuz they have their pride
Feed me to the lions
Cuz they have their pride

Oh would I be lyin'
If I had no pride
Would I be lyin'
If I had no pride

Let me paint my vision
Into your mind
With pitches, rhymes, and rhythms
Flowing perfectly in time
Yeah I'll play this track for hours
Until I get it right
I'm just a kid out here that's trying to make it
The odds I will defy

I just remembered
Young four year old me
Singing on the stage all alone
To Uncle Cracker baby Follow Me

Now I'm in college
Twenty-One year old me
Making these beats on my own
Maybe I shoulda' went to Berkley

Feed me to the lions
Cuz they have their pride
Feed me to the lions
Cuz they have their pride

Oh would I be lyin'
If I had no pride
Would I be lyin'
If I had no pride

Let me paint my vision
Into your mind
With pitches, rhymes, and rhythms
Flowing perfectly in time
Yeah I'll play this track for hours
Until I get it right
I'm just a kid out here that's trying to make it
The odds I will defy

I'm sleepin'
And I know my dream is sure to follow
I can't sleep in
Cuz I'm wondering where to go

I'm sleepin'
And I know my dream is sure to follow
I can't sleep in
I'm wondering where to go

Let me paint my vision
Into your mind
With pitches, rhymes, and rhythms
Flowing perfectly in time
Yeah I'll play this track for hours
Until I get it right
I'm just a kid out here that's trying to make it
The odds I will defy
