Kids...

Lyrics

I ain't even gon' lie, I was probably high
 Just forgot to call you back, simple as that
 I ain't no almanac, so lick my dictionary
 I might just call a cab 'cause I dig canary
 Yellow accents on a dark bitch
 I met her back when she kept all her carpet
 I'm well aware all that shit is fantasy
 I double dare y'all to fuck your plan B
 That's ta mean a mamma's mannerisms
 That mean, don't mean to get vulgar, but it some
 Hoes in this bitch like a box of donuts
 It's colder out than a bitch standing on the corner
 Condolences to niggas that got erased
 I pour out some liquor on the cops' graves
 Mmm, digital church bells
 Ringin' 'cross the street, show it work well
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) For real (For real?) For real (For real)
 Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) For real (For real?) For real (For real)
 I don't wanna get up, no, I don't wanna go to school
 I don't wanna be the best, don't wanna follow rules
 Mom, I think you fuckin' lied to me
 Three Stacks said all this shit is fantasy
 It's my time, gon' put a little life to it
 If life's an obstacle then I'mma bike through it
 I see her like a kiddie on the carousel
 If I hurl while I go around, what the hell
 And that went well, so I'm compelled
 To have visions of getting chicken while my friends get jailed
 My young nigga motto was, "Fuck it, I'm already grown"
 And I dream of when I'm 16, I'm out my home
 That petty though, cut my mama boyfriend though
 It's kinda lull like this old head hustle, yo
 He cognizant of a nigga ride and die
 I see us getting money through my green eyes
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) For real (For real?) For real (For real)
 Yeah, all the kids, all the what, uh, what
 Yeah, all the badass kids, uh
 Kids say I'm the shit
 I'm Chick-fil-A nuggets made on the french fries
 The spicy Popeyes and Red Lobster biscuits
 And girls scout thin mints
 Pardon my penmanship, but oh shit
 It's like I'm hungry now again
 And I can't do nothing about it because my teeth are all rotted
 And my mom and my pop, they just grin
 And empathize with me 'cause they were little like babies
 Too bad they can't get back they "'member when's"
 The grown-up stories don't work
 In the court of the kiddies', the judgement is in
 And while y'all doing all y'all bids, y'all reminisce as kids
 Fuck it, kids, the grown-ups want on up
 They stood on the corner like you once upon a time
 Time, and probably felt like a loner
 Smelled like a stoner, snuck through their [?]
 So when they question you about who or who you ain't voting
 Complaining that you always moaning, never saying good morning
 Storming out my house and slamming doors like you pay your bills
 They been through it too, though
 They were kids like you, though
 But what if they che nudo and hand you with the cheat code
 Through a game you just start playing, no extra man
 Leave you reckless on the court with no high percentage shot
 Just a bunch of, "You got it, nigga, just give it what you got"
 Yeah, a little different on the yacht, but ain't gon' lie, I miss kayaking
 I love the young niggas, and they do too, they just be acting
 Like a bunch of retired tired thesbians, a bit too salty
 Shit, their blood pressure high, why?
 They don't play no more, probably
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
 (Kids) Kids, don't you know how all this shit is fantasy?
