Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every day's the same Can't get out of bed Crazy thoughts are rushin' in my head Said I'd never take my life But I have them nights Where I'm like "fuck it, let me sniff away my life with lines" So I sniffed and cried Dealing with my problems Which are on the rise like the gun crime in Tottenham Then I sit and zone And I feel a bit alone On my Jack Jones Trying to find a way out of this hole No-one knows how I feel deep down inside Many nights I've cried, nobody around me to confide in And no-one can identify with what I'm really fightin' It's bigger than the drug related problem I'm hidin' [Chorus] So I looked inside, somethin' then replied "You're not a kid no more, kiss your Kidulthood goodnight" So I did and cried and when I opened up my eyes Adulthood was waitin' for me arms open wide Now you wait for days Thinkin' what could be Adulthood creeps up so quickly The city takes you in with Open arms and holds you [Verse 2] So I'm sittin' on this chair Battlin' myself Phone to my ear But it goes to voicemail Lips start to quiver My face says "help" As my eyes turn red And then begin to swell I leave a little message Kinda spilling out my heart But I word it well, I come across like "I don't give a fuck" And its such a bait life But I do it on the sly Where I end it like "Call me if you want, K?, bye" Practice sitting on my Jack Jones Lightin up a cigarette And tears start to flow Coke on the table, like no, kick it over What, so is this how my life's supposed to go? [Chorus] So I looked inside, somethin' then replied "You're not a kid no more, kiss your Kidulthood goodnight" So I did and cried and when I opened up my eyes Adulthood was waitin' for me, arms open wide Now you wait for days Thinkin' what could be Adulthood creeps up so quickly The city takes you in with Open arms and holds you [Verse 3] So what's it gonna take for me to turn my life around? Take my finger out of my arse And finally sort it out I just need someone to help me up When I fall down And help me when I'm on my knees And lift me off the ground (ground, ground) I'm just lookin' for a way out To the point I'm never lookin' back and I stay out No longer wishin' I could trade places for a day out In another man's shoes 'cos I hate my life day out So it's now or never Give-up or be a go-getter The signs of better me instead of bein' like "whatever" I hate to admit it, but I can't be like this forever, man I really wanna change It's time to get my life together [Chorus] So I looked inside and somethin' then replied "You're not a kid no more, kiss your Kidulthood goodnight" So I did and I, waved it goodbye And greeted Adulthood with my arms open wide Now you wait for days Thinking what could be Adulthood creeps up so quickly The city takes you in with Open arms and holds you
