When I’m Older
Cool, Cool yeah
Sometimes I dream and hope
You came to teach and show
Rhymes all change but people won't
Best not repeat my flows
Best not repeat my flows
Jacobs families my fam too so I'll give P to Reece and 'Arsh
When I'm older
Make my family proud, when I'm older
Play this tune out loud, when I'm older
When I spoke to Ry, I nearly cried
I should have been there, and closer
I'm supposed to be your best mate
I knew but I didn't phone ya
Ashamed of myself and selfish thoughts: 'Am I just one big stoner?'
I don't wanna talk about highs and lows
Cos If I get engaged when I'm older
You're gonna be best man at the alter
There with Jacob too and I told ya
Look how far we've come, we're grownups
Look how far we've come, we're grownups
I don't think that we ever deserved this
Back to my older bro, I'm hurtin'
Help me out when things aren't workin'
You got ill and I got nervous
I really think you and Helen are perfect
Sorry that I just keep, keep on swervin'
I'm not about that much I'm working
That's just one excuse I'm wording
Came and watched through all my verses
All my London shows weren't working
Nobody there but you and lurkers
I felt low and kind of worthless
Kinda felt like it weren't worth it
I'm gonna pay you back, when I'm older
Make my family proud, when I'm older
Play this tune out loud, when I'm older
Will I think this way, when I'm older?
I knew things could change, when I'm older
But not like this
Last year I nearly stopped writing
Didn't wanna write the things in my head
Didn't wanna get up outta my bed
Still dreaming of hope
I don't wanna lie to any of my friends and family still, I was feeling alone
Everyone's listening now
Can't figure it out
I still wanna believe but I don't
My best friends out the country
So it's not that often that I'm speaking to Joe
One promoter I trusted done me wrong and tried to take P for a show
Some people think in ways that you can't change, but stealing dough?
From something you did not help grow?
Are you sure?
Are you stoned?
Is that cool?
Are you broke?
Am I gonna forget this? No
Back to the point
I feel like I'm trapped in my voice
And can't see to speak in shows
How can I question any of my close friends if I can't see peoples growth?
Look at the end of the line
It's bright and I can see my dreams look folded into something that's deep and cold
Don't wanna know things like that
I swear, when I'm older
Make my family proud, when I'm older
Play this tune out loud, when I'm older
I am the best round here, I told ya
I am the best round, best round
