Walking around the neighborhood I grew up in

lyrics

I grew up waiting for the street lights
Hoping maybe one day I could be like
the kids that didn't have to go inside
Praying my dreams would coincide
with being popular
and not be embarrassed with my parents ride
I would travel in my mind through my imagination
Some saw exaggeration/What I saw was captivating
So what I C is if I's before E
Its not hard to achieve
With a small hint of believe
Mom told me to write & pops told me to read
Hung with ol G's they all told me to leave
It took a little time but I always agreed
The ones I seen fall its always for greed
The volume of our laughter was never loud to me
Outside of our game the world was sound asleep
I was told before long
That I'd be thankful for every desk that I tucked my forehead onto my forearms
And they were correct
Now I reflect and try to prolong
The night can seem so long
I'm Excited for these kicks I'm bout to throw on
Peeking out the window when I should be counting sheep
But instead I'm counting on classmates being jealous of me
cause the way I'm cuffing my jeans
not tucked inside of my sneaks
I should be on the cover of a new coveted magazine
My mother came to wake me but I was never asleep
Plus I'm already dressed so she sent me out in the street
To wait on the bus I'm walking like something's wrong with my knees
cause a crease would make it seem like I had these sneakers for weeks
It's winter so the sun hasn't risen over the trees
The passing headlights are blinding the wind is making me sneeze
I'm standing next to a kid he noticed what's on my feet
he said that those aren't sposed to be out for a couple weeks
A few crowded around the way lights shined down
it made me feel like I levitated off the ground
