Midlife Crisis

[Hook]
I'm in the middle of a midlife crisis
Like Cinderella when that midnight strike hits
I'm way too old for what a mess my life is
How did I ever let it get quite like this?

[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
30 years old, if I die when I'm sixty
I'ma take this last year, all these memories with me
And if the
Afterlife lets me breach space and Time
I'ma find me at 9 and help ease his mind

Cuz I cried, when these kids used to make fun of me
Wondering, if there's a
Better life around the corner from me?
I'd tell him, first kiss is like 8 years away
And then at…22, won't know what to do

And then at 24, you'll make a mistake, man
Gonna be stuck in places with no escape plan
I'll say, hold on
To those things that made you
All the comics and the video games, they stay true

3 years later you'll start rapping again
And maybe get your chance to have the last laugh, my friend
4 years later you'll go out on tour
With Tribe One, wondering what the next half's got in store…

[Tribe One]
I just turned thirty
And there's so much more to do before my thirty third
So I stay up late enough I'm waking up the early birds
All nighters in my Arwing starfighter
Cuz I might be getting old but maturity's still a dirty word

So how am I supposed to act if I don’t feel my age?
I’m not a parent, I’m not married, and I own no real estate
I’m already older than Michael was in his thriller days
What if I never write a better verse than Silver Age?

Cuz the fact is
Rap success is far fetched
When I’m stuck paying student loans and credit card debt
Like a monetary model of open guitar frets
Cuz the notes get higher the lower the bar’s set

So I’m working for an early grave in more than one way
Forwarding my pay into a 401k
When I’d rather be performing an assortment of these rhymes
That I’ve been hoarding and recording them and touring some day
