Phora Still A Kid Lyrics
Still A Kid by Phora
I'm still a kid so, I still make mistakes.
I just wanna live, yo, before the good times fade away. [x2]
Look, hey yo, I'm just another young cat comin from the bottom.
I don't want no beef, nah, I don't want no problems.
But y'all don't never get it right, yo I ain't scared.
I just got better shit to do than fight amongst my peers.
Honestly it kind of hurts and it's a shame how all the kids I used to know just wanna hate now.
And the time passed, I seen who was really down.
I never brought up the cats tryina bring me down.
Cause that's just a waste of my time and time is precious and it's runnin out.
I'm takin what's mine. Everybody got that kid deep down inside of em.
Some play with toys, some got the toys on the side of em,
finna do a nigga like a kid when playin Grand Theft Auto.
I'm still a kid, so that pride is pretty hard to swallow.
You wanna be the toughest nigga on the block,
and you was til the nigga started hearin them shots.
Kids killin kids, askin myself, "When will it stop?"
Another death on the news, it makes me sick when I watch.
I just wanna live my life before the now becomes a memory.
And I just hope that they remember me.
I'm still a kid so, I still make mistakes.
I just wanna live, yo, before the good times fade away. [x2]
Look, I'm still a kid and I probably always will be.
And I ain't trippin if none of these rappers feel me.
Cause it's what saved me from hangin with thugs and cockin guns.
I just hope that my momma's proud of what I've become.
And when nobody believed in me and left me hangin,
Prospect was the only cat that said I'm the one.
I really never understood until I grew up big,
it was the fuel to the flame that kept my future lit.
He said I'ma change this generation's way of life.
So if you ain't lookin for better days, you ain't alive.
I ain't no different than your average though.
I ain't got no super powers, I just rap on the flow.
So don't be mad if somethin happens and I cancel a show.
Just know I had to go but I'll be back for some more.
Yo, I wanna be a bro-model to these kids and help,
but it's hard to teach them to grow when you're a kid yourself.
And I just turned eighteen last month,
and I'm still immature and I still can't front about me
makin the wrong decisions even when I know it's not right and I know the consequences, but..
I'm still a kid and I ain't usin that as an excuse.
I just got a lot to learn and that's the truth. [x4]
I'm still a kid so, I still make mistakes.
I just wanna live, yo, before the good times fade away. [x2]
