ADOLESCENTS

4th grade, had a friend, we were close
Played pretend, running round, we weren't low
Didn't have a care in the world, we had the biggest goals
And to this day, I'm scared he might have an overdose
I don't know what he's taking
6th grade, he started vaping
I tried to stop him he told me "I need to stop hating"
He was always causing trouble, maybe the cause was from the place he was staying
His actions became more aggravating
Stopped him in the hall, "told that him we need to talk"
"Those drugs you talking, yeah, you really need to knock it off"
He said it's his choice and no way that he'd ever stop
He pushed me to the side and kept going on his walk
I used to go to bed, and just start staring at my ceiling
Afraid he might get a stroke or some other way he's dealing
It's sick and it's not something anyone should be feeling
Everyone's tryna help but you reject, you don't want healing

Why you popping pills
Numb? No, you got no feels
Drunk, I don't know you still
You'd rather be gone than real

I don't know
Yeah we growin'
You're on your own
Adolescents

Girls
What in the world are you doing?
You only get likes cause of the amount of pics of clothes you started removing
Do you even have a clue of what you're proving
What are you proving?
I don't get the point of it, where is the point, yeah, I don't get, what am I losing?
You're showing your body
You're showing your parts
Maybe start using your heart
You're pretty good with those
But in the end you tend to rip 'em apart
I don't know why
Why do you lie
Why are you always making us cry
You ain't a guide
You're our fall on this journey we tryna survive
5 years ago
You wasn't always posting all the pics
Now any chance you get, you'll take it if you get to hit
To you life is all lust and getting rich
I don't get it, ever since we got old things switched
I'll give it to you, you're pretty good at the mind games
But I've learned my lesson and I'm living with my ways
I'm done with you, don't even try to get me to stay
We're getting older and I guess it's time when things change

Posting pics about your lust
And your pride
I promise you'll regret it
Later on in due time

I don't know
Yeah we growin'
You're on your own
Adolescents

Another milestone I've reached
And I hate the peak
Girls are changin'
Friends are changin'
They don't care for me
I'm in the battle
Lately been tryna fight off the heat
Don't know what I am doing
I pray God will let me see
I've been going down a road
Walking all alone
I ain't looking at my phone
Scared of what it holds
And I'm fighting through it
Tryna making it through the cold
Going on a journey
Hopefully I find my home
