Marlon Craft
Young Man
[Chorus]
I just wanna be here sometimes
I just want a free year to unwind
I just wanna leave here with what's mine
I just wanna leave here with my mind
Wouldn't mind my soul too
Did what I was supposed to
Or at least I thought so
Always speakin' more truth
Built a fort in stormy ports, that's what we call fortitude
Metaphors cute
But that go talkin' abstractly

[Verse]
I'll be hoggin' the facts and often detached, see
I got toxic impulse, can't often relax me
I run away from peace to survive, that's how I'm wired now, yeah
When you less direct, it's cheaper to fly
In retrospect, I needed my lies
It's hard to be you, it's easy to hide
But shit, me is not so easy to find
Tell me, where's the peace in this peace of mind
When every peace of mine has always left me deceived and blind?
Always let me believe I need to be elite to shine
That my life wouldn't mean shit without some genius prime, yeah
Missin' the egregious signs, nitpickin' the subtle
Mama music, know I meant it when I said I loved you
But need help with my shit
If they offer help, I don't trust you
How you be a star from a bubble?
[Chorus]
I just wanna be here sometimes
I just want a free year to unwind
I just wanna leave here with what's mine
I just wanna leave here with my mind
Wouldn't mind my soul too
Did what I was supposed to
Or at least I thought so
Always speakin' more truth
Built a fort in stormy ports, that's what we call fortitude
Metaphors cute
But that go talkin' abstractly

[Post-Chorus]
Say what you mean, young man (Young man)
Say what you mean, young man (Young man)
Say what you mean, young man
Make me believe, young man (Young man)
Say what you mean, young man (Young man)
Say what you mean, young man (Young man)
Say what you mean, young man
Make me believe, young man
