[Intro: Brooklyn Youth Chorus]
Older, I've been feeling older
Older, I've been feeling older
[Verse 1: johan lenox]
I thought I'd grow up, yeah, but that ain't what's happening
I thought I'd have a job, yeah, but that ain't what's happening
I thought I'd fall in love, yeah, but that ain't what's happening
We'll see what happens
We'll see what happens
We thought we'd fix the world, but it ain't gonna happen
It's summer all year, yeah, but nobody's happy
We thought we had a future, but that ain't what's happening
Nobody's happy, so we'll see you in heaven
Ain't no one to tell me, "Take the trash out"
Staring at my phone until I pass out
I thought I had a dream, it's in the past now
Holding all the chips I nevеr cashed out
[Chorus: johan lenox & KayCyy]
Yeah
Older (I'vе been feelin', I've been feelin')
I've been feeling older
(I've been feelin', I've been feelin')
Older (I've been feelin', I've been feelin')
'Til this thing it's over (Yeah)
[Interlude 1: johan lenox & KayCyy]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: KayCyy]
I've been feelin'—
I've been feelin' the progress even though it took a minute
Tryna forever be that kid, ain't tryna lose that feelin'
You see who's real when it hits the ceilin'
God damn, it don't feel like I'm sixteen anymore
Twenties, I don't wanna think about thirties, no, no
I treat my mind just like a photo
I can put these feelings in a photo
I can put real life shit in a photo
I can see it all unfoldin'
I see shit, way, way, way, way
Closer
Older
I see this shit, ah, ah
I was fucked up when the family split when I was younger, but I got older
I was a hothead when I was young, but I grew up and I got colder
My first time smokin' weed, I was in Gentry in Minnesota
First fistfight, not in America, I was in Kenya in Kericho
New guns in my new crib, it ain't long now, it's October
Was in the negatives for some thousands, but this year I made new deposits
[Interlude 2: KayCyy]
You know what I'm sayin'?
I feel old, but like-
It's what it comes with, like, you know what I'm sayin', I got used to this shit
Old soul, you know like, young forever, though
[Outro: Brooklyn Youth Chorus]
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I've been feeling older
I thought I had a dream, a dream
It's in the past now
