LYRICS
Every time I try to satisfy
every person and every need.
I end up pretending I’m someone else
and that someone, it ain’t me.
They say “it’s time for you to grow up,
cause you can’t go on like this.
Just get a life like everyone else,
you can’t stay forever a kid.”
But I don’t wanna grow up,
Shit is perfect the way it is.
don’t wanna be like everyone else,
so I’ll stay forever a kid!
Me and my friends got our own little family
and we don’t care for the rules
too much.
Me and my friends (we) get into all kind of shit.
and some people can’t handle us.
They can’t stand how I play by my own rules.
They see red when I’m doin my old tunes.
Somebody told me “act your own age fool!”
But, I forgot my own age, sir.
And when I tryna’ fit in with society,
People say somethings wrong with me.
I guess the world ain’t what it used to be,
So I’ll stay in my fantasy.
They say “it’s time for you to grow up cause you can’t go on like this.
Just get a life like everyone else,
you can’t stay forever a kid.”
But I don’t wanna grow up,
Shit is perfect the way it is.
don’t wanna be like everyone else,
so I’ll stay forever a kid!
I need nobody
to teach me who to be.
So if you tell me I gotta grow up
I just gotta disagree.
And I need nobody
to tell me what to do.
Cause life is much better
from a childish point of view.
Na pwhl na na, na ukip na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Every time I try to satisfy
every person and every need.
I end up pretending I’m someone else
and that someone, it ain’t me.
They say “it’s time for you to grow up,
cause you can’t go on like this.
Just get a life like everyone else,
you can’t stay forever a kid.”
But I don’t wanna grow up,
Shit is perfect the way it is.
don’t wanna be like everyone else,
so I’ll stay forever a kid!
