All I wanna do is ride on my skates Hit the field with my friends and play Times change but the memories never fade It's like wine they get riper with age Every lesson every blessing I put on a page So my story is here just in case I promise to God I'll be on a stage I have to live my purpose or else I'm caged If I don't release, I'll be raged That's the curse of an artist, I face Give my gift and lift this place Or, give in to pleasure and have a taste Of the fancy thangs inside the rat race F*ck it I'd rather put my truth over the bass I was bumping Ma$e at around 8 when I first heard Em & Dr.Dre, Tupac & Jay, DMX & Kanye Came soon after that & rap was all I'd play Now I'm rapping on the track and it's a wrap like hey All I wanna do is ride on my skates Hit the field with my friends and play We getting DQ after the game I swear I was 8 like yesterday All I wanna do is ride on my skates Hit the field with my friends and play We getting DQ after the game I was 8 like yesterday I was just thinking the other day About growing up, up up and away Drifting off into space like Dobie Gray I was just thinking the other day The Wonder Years, coming of age The Tale of J, days of youth as I daze Into the maze, where we really can't see Its tough growing up looking to find who we'll be Adults say we young, disconnected from reality But their view is skewed from one too many casualties Inaccurate description of the world we see That depiction is scripted from a Matrix scene The 'real world' ain't found on a TV screen And it's so obvious, I really could scream Awake in a world That's sleeping I dream, of the day that we realize we're a team Embracing the light and saying what we mean When you end the fight within You'll find the same peace That we had as kids with cones of ice cream Staying up all night and getting no sleep All I wanna do is ride on my skates Hit the field with my friends and play We getting DQ after the game I swear I was 8 like yesterday All I wanna do is ride on my skates Hit the field with my friends and play We getting DQ after the game I was 8 like yesterday I was just thinking the other day About growing up, up up and away Drifting off into space like Dobie Gray Growing up Up up and away
