| When I was younger, I didn’t think that I would live
|
| For as long as I’ve been living it
|
| And I ain’t saying I expected to die before that number got high
|
| Just never deliberately considered it, go figure it
|
| Who’da known I’d 'a had so many kids
|
| And the first one’s grown n' doesn’t answer his phone
|
| The third sun from the stone got me supposing
|
| I’m supposed to focus on keeping this home
|
| Outta foreclosure from all four corners
|
| Feels like I’m riding on an old roller-coaster
|
| The ghost of Christmas sober
|
| Mostly, but I’mma overdose on these four leaf clovers
|
| You can dance like a crash survivor
|
| You can laugh or cry, whatever pacifies you
|
| Funny how time flies
|
| Till my family sets my raft on fire
|
| I don’t pretend to be cool, don’t pretend to be young
|
| I don’t pretend to be smart, don’t pretend to be dumb
|
| I don’t pretend to be hard, don’t pretend to be first
|
| And most of all I don’t pretend to be concerned
|
| I don’t pretend to be rich, don’t pretend to be broke
|
| I don’t pretend to be asleep, don’t pretend to be woke
|
| I don’t pretend to be deep, don’t pretend to be clean
|
| I’m everything and everything that’s in between
|
| They said you only get one life
|
| But I lived at least four lives in the life I’m living in now
|
| And if I could handwrite what they say when I’m gone
|
| It’s that he said everything that he could fit in his mouth
|
| I got the coldest shoulders in the solar system
|
| I know because I drove around this whole existence
|
| Resistance to personal growth seems suspicious
|
| What, you really didn’t want to go the distance?
|
| I don’t stand still, wander off, I’m a drifter
|
| Look at the bigger, digital, panoramic picture
|
| You catch a panic attack from tryna handle the facts
|
| You inanimate on a map
|
| Wait though, I’ll never be finished, infinity
|
| Grateful for every opportunity you give to me
|
| And when the time’s right, y’all can lighten up
|
| Like there’s too much life to love
|
| I don’t pretend to be cool, don’t pretend to be young
|
| I don’t pretend to be smart, don’t pretend to be dumb
|
| I don’t pretend to be hard, don’t pretend to be first
|
| And most of all I don’t pretend to be concerned
|
| I don’t pretend to be rich, don’t pretend to be broke
|
| I don’t pretend to be asleep, don’t pretend to be woke
|
| I don’t pretend to be deep, don’t pretend to be clean
|
| I’m everything and everything that’s in between |
