18Run

Lyrics

There never is an easy way out when your sixteen
You spiral down until you're finally up shits creek
Waking up every morning to a blitzkrieg
Of all these people trying break all of your esteem
God forbid you're just a little different
And it sparks their interest you'll become the biggest new joke
And they’re gonna be so persistent hating so Consistent till your hopes diminished alone and you're bruised up bad
(And boost up)

Now your everybody's punch line, you wonder where you sit
While your standing in the lunch line, Desperate to get
Just a little bit of sunshine, I thought to end it all
About a hundred more than one time, I didn't fit the mold
So I end up cast out, But when I started to choke
I didn't ever tap out, they all hated themselves
So they had to act out, Wasn't an eye for an eye
So I never lashed out
I knew I would laugh now

When you turn eighteen run
At a speed that they won't catch
I think it's obvious that I can't promise you you're gonna leave without one scratch
Cause the Adventures just begun and the world is in your grasp
A hundred miles an hour is your super power and I promise you won't crash
When you turn 18 run

Welcome to my world and to my mind let's take a flashback
Writing all my raps distracted in the back of math class
Notebooks full of lyrics had them spilling out my backpack
Steve-o's didn't get it so they acted like a jackass
I just kept on working with no capping like a snap-back
Tried to turn the cards that I was dealt into a blackjack
Never would retaliate on days where I was laughed at
Sometimes you just gotta take a hike like a halfback
Anxiety was eating at me like a fuckin parasite
Felt like my heart was stopping I would sit in classes paralyzed
Panic every hour I would sit in silence terrified
Mapping how the fuck I'm finna make it out this paradigm
Said that when I'm finished I'll be leaving without looking back
Booked it to the west coast and I left it all inside the past
Didn't do it by the book and now I'm booked up look at that
I'm winning and I know they're all shook at that

When you turn eighteen run
At a speed that they won't catch
I think it's obvious that I can't promise you you're gonna leave without one scratch
Cause the Adventures just begun and the world is in your grasp
A hundred miles an hour is your super power and I promise you won't crash
When you turn 18 run

Went from night all alone and panic attacks
To having me a hand I can hold and managing that
Reflecting on the nights I was cold from damages that
Hurt me and the ones who went ghost in a vanishing act
Went from night all alone and panic attacks
To having me a hand I can hold and managing that
Reflecting on the nights I was cold from damages that
Hurt me and the ones who went ghost in a vanishing act

When you turn eighteen run
At a speed that they won't catch
I think it's obvious that I can't promise you you're gonna leave without one scratch
Cause the Adventures just begun and the world is in your grasp
A hundred miles an hour is your super power and I promise you won't crash
When you turn eighteen run
At a speed that they won't catch
I think it's obvious that I can't promise you you're gonna leave without one scratch
Cause the Adventures just begun and the world is in your grasp
A hundred miles an hour is your superpower and I promise you won't crash
When you turn eighteen run
