Darne - Grown Up Kids Lyrics

Verse 1
Love, I’ll never know what that means
I guess I was infatuated by the pictures on screen
The rappers and shit
Got my first called love when I was about six
Same year she moved to Ghana or some f***ed up country and shit
Haven’t seen her like since, started forming a clique
Moissanite on my chain one day I’ll have the real thing
Reflections all in the mirror
I’m looking at the eyes of a king
F*** it I was a dreamer
Posters of Steve Jobs and Karl Benz on the wall
They saying a star is born
Uncle took short-cuts trying to get to success
Now I’m watching his arms get shackled up from the back
I was only bout ten
That was my best-friend
Started drinking and shit
Grandma can smell it
Same week I got baptised
With like six litters of water
I swear the preacher was trying to drown
Come to think about it

hook


Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again

Verse 2
Fourteen lighting some ganja
Was getting higher than comets
My conscious constantly vomits all the bullshit I dealt with
I got – Troubles taunting my mind
And a – World I’m trying to define
Just a – Kid rekindling gradually from the madness I’m trapped up in
Product of public school memoirs of a dreamer
Dreams of running ‘round in a Rose like I was Khalifa
Taxi drivers all took our daughters
Liquor stores took our fathers
Churches employ our mother’s
That’s township culture
Runaway Darna
Platinum chains were too expensive
Timbs, I can’t even afford the laces
Uncle’s catch more cases
Round the same time that I almost got mine
Underage drinking, taking shots like Lincoln
Somehow they let it slide I promise to never drink again
These township corners now tombstones to my innocence
I reminisce
But I’m grown now
Pops ain’t here I’m on my own now
Lost a couple friends but f*** it we moving on now
