A++

Guess I'm just 20
Got a few years here, but it ain't many
Try to write stories and poems and songs
To keep things straight, and tell right from wrong
I take cold showers when I get bored
It's sorta complicated, being my age and
I don't think that anybody gets it, gimme one second to explain this
Cause I
Know you think that I should get a job, work hard
Cut my hair, stop dreamin' about fast cars
"Bryson, it's never gonna happen to you
Fame is like a lottery
No matter what, you usually lose
Kids like me, were raised by a system that fails us
Getting A's means more than actually being yourself cause
"High percents means you're better than the rest"
But my A++ ain't the thing that's payin' my rent
Do you get it now, or should I say it louder
Preachin' good grades over good days and to me that's just not okay
Life is a gift that can be taken away

I just wanna sit down in the chair I got for free,
The one with the flowers that we got from the street
Pull up a stool that I can use to prop my feet
Kick back slow baby, we're smokin' weed
All the moms walkin' by in silence
Lettin' me know that they know what I'm hidin'
When I don't exhale right away
They can tell that I'm faded from the look on my face

I'm not a dirtbag cause I smoke weed
Despite what you mighta seen on T.V.
I'm just a young boy hoping that the world slows down
And it feels that way when I blow smoke out
Excuse me for wanting a break
From a world that got so fucked up in a day
Can't walk outside without a mask pulled over my face
This is crazy
I'll just come right out and say it
I wanna be like the poets that I read who're famous
Gettin' noticed from the things they were sayin'
Living life so loud it's painless, can I take this
Opportunity to write something meaningful with my words
Something good enough to get me the girls
That's not why I do this so I'm not concerned
About lookin' inauthentic when I'm lookin' for her

I just wanna sit down in the chair I got for free
The one with the flowers that we got from the street
Pull up a stool that I can use to prop my feet
Kick back slow baby, we're smokin' weed
All the moms walkin' by in silence
Lettin' me know that they know what I'm hidin'
When I don't exhale right away,
They can tell that I'm faded from the look on my face

When you love somebody, what does that mean
When you want somebody but they're seldom seen
I just want some peace, that's all I really need

When you love somebody, what does that mean
When you want somebody but they're seldom seen
I just want some peace, that's all I really need
