Adulting


 

When I first had the feeling I was growing

I was more lazy than usual i wanted to stay inside as if it were snowing

I had to get a job to pay for my daily affairs

And to pay to go out to places like the county fair

 

I bought my first car when first became a man

Trust me all the work was tiring and I was not a fan

However I continued to work pessimistically

I began to see I was turning into a old man very quickly

 

I buckled myself down and got my work done

Because I knew there was a time for playing and a time for fun

All of the sudden I saw the man in me

And I knew i was going to be the man my family needed me to be
