180 by King Avriel Lyrics
Alright let me, um… set the scene:
INTRO
It’s ‘08
I’ve been gone for days
And I’m wondering
Why my parents
Ain’t been worrying about me
While the beat from the studio downstairs goes…
VERSE 1
It’s my birthday
I just ran out of pills
Coming down, making out
And the sheets still
Smell like my homie and his girl
Out to the Beamer that I’m borrowing
For stolen lingerie
And some laundry in my trunk
Riding on this wave
Twenty couches in a month
I hate leaving the valley
‘Cause my mama’s waiting for me
To lecture me again
About how I’m so disappointing
PRE CHORUS
Tell me when was I supposed to grow up, grow up?
When was I supposed to know better?
Was it 15, 16, 17 huh?
Was it when I started working?
Started drinking?
Started burning the road up?
CHORUS
Doing 180 [miles an hour so everybody sees me]
In the fast lane
Hands free
180 [miles an hour so everybody sees me]
In the fast lane
Somebody should’ve slowed me down
POST CHORUS
Grown ass kids
Fast little girls
Dreams too big for this little world
Little world, little world
Dreams too big for this little world
VERSE 2
TV fuzzy
Tattoo gun buzzin’
I do it for the pain ‘cause I know that I’ll regret it
I know what left me broken
But I keep it unspoken
Don’t want my ghosts out in the open
So I’m opening my legs
To validate my body
Director’s unimpressed
So he leaves me feeling dirty
Camera turns off
Panties back on
I find a blunt that’s being passed
And write another song
PRE CHORUS
So tell me when was I supposed to grow up, grow up?
When was I supposed to know better?
Was it 18, 19, 21 huh?
Was it when I started smoking?
When he raped me?
When I gave the baby up?
CHORUS
Doing 180 [miles an hour so everybody sees me]
In the fast lane
Hands free
180 [miles an hour so everybody sees me]
In the fast lane
Somebody should’ve slowed me down
POST CHORUS
Grown ass kids
Fast little girls
Dreams too big for this little world
Little world, little world
Dreams too big for this little world
OUTRO
Somebody, somebody, should’ve slowed me down... should’ve slowed me down. (x3)
