17 Year Lesson by Tha Kid [AU] Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Began my life in 2002, parents and family in the field of view
Now to speak up, the lessons I've learned, playing out on the street, gettin' sunburnt
Those were the days, ridin' my bike, everyone laughin' man so childlike
Didn't know nothin' about the world, the only dreams were of 'LEGO World'
All of us gonna' become athletes, ain't got no job, no receipts
Turned 14 and shit gets real, the emotions man, you start to feel
Goin' through these endless changes, the whole place around you a new situation
Don't believe the man called 'Santa Claus', cunts always picking at your floors
When did this shit become so complex? All you're thinkin' about is fucking sex
Everyone on social media got no respect, don't be gettin caught in the neglect
[Instrumental/Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Few years later you learn who you are, choose your own clothes, adaptin' your style
An old mate from school gives you the [?], "come and give this ganja shit a try"
Yeah, start smokin' bongs in Holmesglen trains, few of my mates got me into the graf game
Like hip-hop I don't do it for the fame, comes from the heart it's straight fuckin' love
Chuckin' up tags with only one glove, start gettin' my life back on track
Fell away from a group called 'FERFEW' for a little bit, they considered me unworthy
I made it up to them, I'm callin' em' my best mates
Learn to choose the boys over love dates, think of the brothers before the lust
Not so proud that I've been cuffed, not just once, multiple occasions
Stupid pigs trynna get me on probation, the anchor you feel, it's a new sensation, lockin' cunts up it's like captivation
Move beyond debt, yeah take it as a lesson, next time bro, won't be gettin' arrested
Work at my lyrics gettin' perfected, becomin' an MC is what I've been destined
[Instrumental/Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Playin' around with booze and drugs, all these chemicals, good and fun
'Till you end up waking up in hospital, yeah that night was fuckin' awful
Thanks to everyone that tried to prevent it, I hope you know I'm grateful and I fuckin' regret it
Don't you gotta move beyond your memories, hold the good ones close like treasuries
As long as you got happiness, no need for accessories
Don't be gettin' caught up about fuckin' up
Stay motivated and prove in yourself, there's so much knowledge that can be acquired
Don't be livin' life as required, stay true to what you fuckin' believe
All this bloody corruption, don't be deceived
Work at your goals, make sure they're achieved
When you don't have no fuckin' regrets, huffin' like a chimney on them cigarettes
Wish everyone would see the good in people, the end of the day we're all fuckin' equal
Love makin' music, gonna drop a sequel
Lyrically I kill this art form, yeah comin' up with rhymes need to brainstorm
Soon you'll see me up on the billboards, listen to my bars sayin' "dear Lord Tha Kid yeah man you can't be ignored"
The real rap game it's been restored, motivatin' the people is what I work toward
The main lesson learned is to appreciate life, love ya friends and take nothin' for granted
You're never alone bro don't see it slanted, there's people who care, don't leave 'em stranded
