The Kid

[Chorus]
They wanna see me fall I been on my own
Doin' good they think I'm prodigal
Why am I here if I don't got a goal
In my room and never on the road

[Verse 1]
Always knew I was an outcast
Way before I heard of Andre
Sat alone in the lunchroom
Never ate the food my mom made
Wrote rhymes in the math class
Turned everything in all late
Knew one day I'd be a dropout
Mom, I wanna be like Kanye
Young man with a plan
Young bull with the vans
Got the vision at a glance
Saw it comin in advance
Knew I had to take a chance, aye
Turned my haters into fans, aye
Turned my heroes into competition
Oh yeah we throwin hands, aye
Been on my own
Ain't had a team
I had to grow
Yeah, yeah
Ain't make the cut
Snuck in the league
Now I'm a pro
Yeah, yeah
I had a dream
That when I leave
I'll be the goat
Yeah, yeah
Now they want me
But it's too late
I got no room

[Chorus]
They wanna see me fall I been on my own
Doin' good they think I'm prodigal
Why am I here if I don't got a goal
In my room and never on the road
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Take you back to 9th grade
Had like only 2 friends
Parents worried bout grades
I couldn't have cared less
Tried to find me an escape
Started messing with the pen
Looked silly back then
But knew it work out in the end
Didn't really go to parties
Back then they didn't want me
Used to keep up with the trends
Now I'm the one they wanna copy
Couldn't keep up with my classes
Overdosin' on coffee
Knew i couldn't end up normal
But the future looked foggy, aye
Take you back to graduation
I was going through some changes
On the way to go to college
Wondered if I'd really make it
Life hit me like a train then
I was running out of patience
Told Mom I gotta drop out
Opportunity is fading

[Chorus]
They wanna see me fall I been on my own
Doin' good they think I'm prodigal
Why am I here if I don't got a goal
In my room and never on the road
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah
I know I can't stay
Yeah
