You don't have to choose it'll be alright.
Twenty years old, I'm twenty years old.
Growing too fast, and learning too slow.
Twenty years old, I'm twenty years old.
Growing too fast, and learning too slow.
Though I'm still young my life's really cray;
Nobody understands me, they would all say.
You're only twenty B, how bad could it be?
Well I kinda live two lives ya see.
I'm a student in the morning, a star by night.
Laden with responsibility succeed with my life.
My pops told me that I gotta be somebody,
Reach somebody, and lead somebody.
"Gotta work hard no time for parties,
What will you do when you gotta feed somebody?
The tracks are dope and it's cool to keep it real,
But the hip hop drops don't pay the bills.
It's a cool hobby and a hobby it remains,
Cuz pursuing music is a waste of your brains."
My pops means well but the dude's bullshittin'
Cuz being the best rapper, is my life's mission.

University kid, tryna handle my biz.
Give fame to my name that's my all-time wish.
Impact the whole world with the rhymes that I write,
Attract all the girls when I spit on the mic.
My dreams are grand, and my passion runs deep.
But it seems my plans, doesn't come cheap.
Money's getting tight and, tuition fees hikin',
Life's knocking me down man, Mike Tyson.
In my adolescence yo I wanted to be grown
But now I'm petrified by the things I was shown
School, work, music and radio too,
Never have free time, got so much to do.
Nowadays kinda seems everybody I see,
Wants to know my plans and what I want to be
What school you going to? What major will you choose?
Way too many questions, I'm so confused.

Lived the IB life, now I live the rap life.
"Check the rhyme" every day, RIP dawg fife.
Got nothing to lose and everything to prove,
These dreams I pursue through these Youtube views.
I really do hope this rap thing blows,
Then I'll say to my folks, I told ya so.
But the hip hop hustle got me miserable mayne.
I been bustin' my ass with minimal gain.
Made reckless moves with not enough info;
My first show flopped, ten bills out the window.
Took an L I know, but I can't stop yet,
See I wanna die old with no regrets.
Even though the road is bumpy and it's looking kinda dark,
Should I listen to my calling and just follow my heart?
They say a flower needs water, in order to bloom.
Is that why it's raining hard, and looking so gloom?
