Youngin'


I'm a youngin'. 

From the world i was brought in. 

when i'm sixty. i won't get gritty 

based on my skin wrinkly and no more shirts fitted

It's based on my health. can't be an elf.

It's time to grow up, not enough to know of

I got a whole life ahead of me, people trying to to categorize what they see

I'm all things, i just wanna do what i love like Michael Jordan playing without the rings

I'm a youngin, yet sees the world different, and i'm not fourty one
