My birthday is coming next week. I hadn’t been tripping about it, but honestly about a few days ago I really gave some thought to how no matter how old I get, I still have no idea what I’m doing. So this is all about awkwardly growing older in hip hop. I enlisted my homies Ceschi and Sammus to rock...
[Chorus: Mega Ran]
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
[Verse 1: Mega Ran]
Ayo, life is hard like Dark Souls
I heard stress is just part and parcel
Yo, devils scan you like barcodes
Just to gas you up like Arco
I spent three grand on advertising
And that ain't work, isn't that surprising?
Would-be customers passing by it
Sorry 'bout that, man that's the climate
"Just my luck", that should be my catchphrase
Got no healthcare, I need my x-rays
I float to Texas, no connections
They lose my luggage, it's right on the jetway
I'm learning as I go along
I know I'm doing it wrong
Probably silly but what doesn't kill me
Can most likely go in a song
Looking in mirrors like checking the news
Everyday something that gives me the blues
I'm good on the club, you're expected to schmooze
Buy all the booze and eventually lose
I go to Subway and hold up the line
Well I didn't mean to but really I just wanted cookies
The entire time
And they don't make it easy
I know they can see me
I'mma make it cheeky
Nothing is promised, when I'm not rapping
I'm napping
And I'm not afraid of death
I just don't wanna be there when it happens
[Chorus: Mega Ran]
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
[Verse 2: Ceschi]
Probably shouldn't have another glass
Probably shouldn't stare at her
Probably shouldn't punch a cop in the face
Probably shouldn't
But I did it anyway
Thank heavens for the mistakes
May not get to Heaven, but strong bones grow from tough breaks
That's OK, if I never get handcuffed or maced again that'd be great
Always struggling to grow up
Never made to the gym to tone up
Hold up
Rather eat another donut
Keep the old gut robust
Sure enough
Peter Pan picked a profession that nobody thinks is real job
Relationship went wrong
Now he's back living with mom
Bit of slob, but kids think that he's rich because of rap songs
Believe what you want
Had to open up bad loan to pay my taxes off
Now a guy named Guy wants to break my legs and I'm questioning anything that I ever said
Making music 'til the moment that you drop huh?
Sounds fun right? Sometimes it's not
Staying young at heart
Probably not that smart
Cause our government doesn’t support art
No retirement plan for folk rap stars
No mortgage when you're living in a house of cards
They don’t rent to anybody that’s been behind bars
It'll all fall down, gotta own the scars
[Chorus: Mega Ran]
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway
[Verse 3: Sammus]
I ain’t a business, man
Or a business man
You should hear my idea of a business plan
I post a couple pictures on my Instagram
Maybe get a couple stickers done at Vista Print
I’m never really asking if it fits the brand
I ain’t never had the discipline
And lately I suspect nobody gives a damn
If I’m the (shh), so I let it hit the fan
Instead of tryna schmooz I’mma kick the can
Try to tell myself that it's just a scam
Rather network on a network than ever
Spend a night up in the club like I’m Chris Kattan
I wish I could reject getting shows in DMs
No per diem? Is that something I should be in
Even though I’m overstretched here I go agreeing
But I can’t ignore the message cause they know I see ‘em
Hate read receipts, I’mma just go pray
Maybe I'mma get it all correct some day
Maybe when I’m older the regrets go way
Yeah, maybe when it’s over I can rest okay
I’m old enough I should know better
You can burn your bulb if you a fo-getter
You’re far too focused ignore your locus
Hanging round the wolves like you are old-yeller
Young enough to do it anyway
Can take a sucker a punch like I’m a heavyweight
If you know the feeling, scream it to the ceiling
If you've been hanging tough, we need to hear you say
That I'm old enough that I know better
[Chorus: Mega Ran]
Young enough to do it anyway
Old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
I'm old enough that I know better, young enough to do it anyway
Young enough to do it anyway, young enough to do it anyway
