Songtexte As a Kid - Lo-Key

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
As a kid
Always knew I'd grow up and do big things
Always knew that I'd follow my dreams
Always thought that it'd be playing for an NFL team or something

Some day
You going to have it going you going to have it your way
People going to say you're going the wrong way
Family going to say you're doing the wrong thing
But you're going to prove em wrong
You going to prove em wrong
Yeah, it's just how you were raised
Inside of my DNA
I don't know why this a thing
But inside of me I just got to do it
Yeah, and all the times I just battled through it
Yeah

You going to lose friends you going to tie up loose ends
You going to have people saying that your stupid
They won't say it when you're dreaming in the lucid
Yeah
You're going to have your heart broken
You're going to lose focus
You're going to be sad, and people won't notice
Just know that you're chosen
And know that you chose this
And know in the end
It's all going to be okay
Always told yourself that you'd never listen
Always in your head yeah you swearing that you're different
People never saw it swear they never saw the vision
Kept my head down grinding yeah man up on a mission

Some day
You going to have it going you going to have it your way
People going to say you're going the wrong way
Family going to say you're doing the wrong thing
But you're going to prove em wrong
You going to prove em wrong
Yeah, it's just how you were raised
Inside of my DNA
I don't know why this a thing
But inside of me I just got to do it
Yeah, and all the times I just battled through it
Yeah

Car drives with dad on way to football camps
Parking lot walks where mom would hold my hand
Sometimes I just wish I could be a kid again
I just hate that I've been super distant from the fam
Yeah, I'm grown
Making decisions all my own now
Missing when I was a kid, and I just wasn't stressed out
Damn I'm way too stressed out
Heart beating out my chest
I just wish I was a kid again

Some day
You going to have it going you going to have it your way
People going to say you're going the wrong way
Family going to say you're doing the wrong thing
But you're going to prove em wrong
You going to prove em wrong
Yeah, it's just how you were raised
Inside of my DNA
I don't know why this a thing
But inside of me I just got to do it
Yeah, and all the times I just battled through it
Yeah
