When I wake up!
When I wake in the morning, I smile to myself like I'm thankin' God
And, no more folks like, "Jonathan, when you gonna grow up and get a job?"
'Cause I made that job, no, Steve that job's kept me hungry and foolish
It's a cooler summer dive in like Kendrick and drink some rum in the pool, bitch
Up here's where the roof fits the workaholic in the magic sun
To the esky is empty, shit, what's life if you ain't havin fun?
So forget your age and those walls, I'm burstin' through that maze
On top of the tour bus in a teen wolf mask, surfin' USA
And we got that baggage packed, happy gas, glasser traps
Yes, I can dig it
So I joke like tom on a josh, baskin' in these tours like a big kid
It's my habitat, I can't leave the trees like an orangutang
I'm a runnin' on air anchorman and I never land like bangarang

Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?
Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?

Yo, I'm actin a fool
No shame, I came, I shat in the pool
Yeah, better pass that blunt
I'm bout about it you can ask my mom
She'll tell ya, I'm psycho mate, my ideas make your lightbulbs break
I'll make it look so damn easy, when I rock that Borat mankini
F*ck what they say, you don't miss your chance
To eat chocolate cake, with your hands, you rock a bubble beard
While you're takin a bath where a simple fart still makes you laugh like

Hahahaha, blurp blurp, hahaha
And then a big brown shark came

Now I'm on the stage, actin' up
Yeah, the bombs away while I grab my nuts
You're livin it, like it's all the movies
Still killin' shit on Call of Duty
And I still think, I can move like the Matrix, real shit
Shroomin' in Vegas, or when I play with my dogs
Even right now while I'm makin this song
So how's about it? Let's laugh til there's power outage
That's all that I have to say
F*ck them all and don't act your age, I'm makin pancakes

Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?
Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?

They're always sayin' to me, they're always sayin'
"Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?"
They're always sayin' to me, they're always sayin'
"Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?"
They're always sayin' to me, they're always sayin'
"Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?"
They're always sayin' to me, they're always sayin'
"Why don't you act, why don't you just act your age?"
