Zero four, zero nine, zero four Eighteen Not a penny to your name You bring shame to your family name But you're alive Opportunities passed you by Cause you were chasing the high But you're alive Your girl left ya For your baby cousin But you're alive Nine to five's got you stressed The government isn't paying that monthly But you're alive That's a glimpse of my worst fears Maybe I'm scared of the future cause it's unclear I had a Sunday school teacher, he was healthy one minute And then the next, we were dropping tears His family scheduling a date to lay him to rest I kept thinking about it I had a lot to say but I wrote a song about it And to this very day it stuck with me in a negative way Like what's the point in anything if someday everything is going to end I remember in high school I had a physics test Usually I'm lazy but I gave this a hundred percent The teacher gave me E for effort Like what the f*ck teacher? He hated on me cause I reminded him of when he was younger Childhood trauma I remember thinking about it Like is this how it is when you get older? You get colder? You get cranky? You get bitter? Like my physics teacher? That was me at fourteen I told my mom she said you're too young to judge And maybe I was Too young to love Too young to trust Too young for truth Too young for tragedy on news Too young to lose Too young to face my truth Too young for blues Too young to choose Too young to be confused Too young to watch my parents bury their son Blame myself for not being stronger Bubba what have you done Tragedy in families hurts more when it's nuclear Keep that pain inside and blow up like it's nuclear I used mine like a gun and I aimed it at my fears Dealing with the struggle of balancing school and a potential career That boy was too young but now he's eighteen years old He's old enough to drink, old enough to vote Old enough to club, old enough to smoke Old enough to choose, and I chose And I choose it everyday the nigga way too deep in rhythm and blues Lunar on the way I came with the pack so we'll be okay But now I got a story to tell So let me tell you 'bout it Hey, let me tell you 'bout it
