To All My Friends (Explicit)

To All My Friends - Atmosphere

What you gonna be when you grow up

I＇m all grown up and still don＇t know what

I mop throw up I rock a tow truck

Long as it means that I can get old and post up

I used to be a typical winner

Living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner

Cause as a kid I didn＇t consider

That I would get the opportunity to be a full-time spitter

I love this occupation

I got bosses across the nation

Validation is an understatement

And I don＇t really know how to take a vacation

My kind don＇t have any free time

I＇m so distracted but everything＇s fine

I speak shine and I read signs

Appreciate your opinion but this dream＇s mine

It＇s all love we＇re cool

But you don＇t tell a cowboy what to do

I was the ugly kid that didn＇t listen

Little big man full of ambition

Based on imagination just like you

Daydreaming thinking about the things I might do

I used to paint draw illustrate

Mom would facilitate and it would feel okay

Seems like yesterday still plays a part

When I grow up I wanted a job making art

Picture that how many years old

Young enough to mix up love with career goals

But I was just this tall when they told me

That the world was mine

But the papers weren＇t signed

There＇s no deed so proceed to go see

Up the whole piece like it owes me groceries

Don＇t breathe until you formally know me

Won＇t leave better call authorities

It＇s all love we＇re cool

But you don＇t tell an astronaut what to do

The turn tables stole my heart

Burnt the paintbrush broke it apart

I miss it I might revisit it

But I wasn＇t that good I admit it

Maybe you can＇t tell but as I kid I wanted to be Melle Mel

And later as a teenager I wanted to be LL

Then I discovered w**d and I wanted to be Del

And thank god eventually I found myself

It＇s funny when I bump into fools

I used to go to school with and they ask what I＇m doing

Half of the time I wanna crack a lie

But f**k it I＇m still a wannabe rapper guy

Yeah I guess that it seems that way

I get to see the world and it＇s decent pay

As long as somebody wanna see us play

I wake up every morning and I seize the day

It＇s all love we＇re cool

But you don＇t tell the president what to do

It's like that y'all it's like this y'all

I don't get to call in sick y'all
