[Chorus]
EMy friends tell me these Bdays, G#moh-oh
EThat I've been fallin' awBay, G#moh-oh, oh, oh
But EI don't know what to Bsay, G#msay
C#mYou can't expect me to stEbay
[Verse 1]
People switchin' up on Eme, I never did a thing
I'm losin' too many Bhomies so I could chase a dreamG#m  
A couple girls are tellin' Eme they want a wedding ring
I got too much to Bwork on right now, don't be stressin' meG#m  
If I could go back to my Echildhood, I'd let it be
Sometimes I kinda let Bopinions out here get to mG#me
Been patient 'cause the C#mwait is kinda like a centipede
It's takin' long as hell to Ebget to where you wanna be
I'm tryna open up the EBible, but it's hard to read
I'm ADD, and my Bmind goin' to other thingsG#m  
I'm feelin' weak, hopin' Ethey don't see this side of me
I'm tryna be C#meverything that they want me to beEb  
Instead of me, I gotta Egive myself a little time
To sort out everything that's Bgoin' on up in my mindG#m  
I hit the road and buckle C#mup, I'm ready for the ride
Things are movin' fast, so Ebwelcome to my crazy life
[Chorus]
EMy friends tell me these Bdays, G#moh-oh
EThat I've been fallin' awBay, G#moh-oh, oh, oh
But EI don't know what to Bsay, G#msay
C#mYou can't expect me to sEbtay
[Verse 2]
I didn't tell no one, but E2017 was bad
I spent like half the time just Bwalkin' 'round and bein' sadG#m  
And even though my songs Estarted getting me some racks
I lost some people that I'm Bprolly never gettin' backG#m  
But that was what I needed, Eall that turned me to a man
I'm independent, I don't Bneed no one to hold my handG#m  
Ain't getting close to no one, C#mI don't wanna take the chance
'Cause I got everyone I Ebneed already in my clan
I'm 'bout to go on tour, so, Eyeah, we hoppin' in the van
I told my momma I'ma Bsave up like a hundred grandG#m  
So I could finally move out, Epromise that I got a plan
                         B                       NC
I would still be rappin' even for a hundred fans
So understand, if I Emake it big my fam'll hold me down
I'm cautious of these Bpeople who been tryna come G#maround
I've been sweating for a C#mcheck and so they rocking with me now
But if they see me Ebfall, they'll be watching me hit the ground
[Bridge]
EStrangers sayin' they Bknow me, G#mknow me
I'm just Ehiding the fact that I'm Blonely, G#mlonely
And EI know it could be Bworse, though, G#mworse and
All I C#mknow
This is what I BchoseEb  
[Chorus]
EMy friends tell me these Bdays, G#moh-oh
EThat I've been fallin' awBay, G#moh-oh, oh, oh
But EI don't know what to Bsay, G#msay
C#mYou can't expect me to sEbtay

I'm ADD, and my mind goin' to other things

I'm feelin' weak, hopin' they don't see this side of me

Things are movin' fast, so welcome to my crazy life
