Wilky - Candy

Sometimes I miss being a kid
The whole world to discover and it’s oh so big
Remember watching cartoons sitting on my kitchen table
Dad made sure the butter didn't melt on my bagel
Man that feels like a life time ago
Now I’m getting older there’s so much I’ve outgrown
All these books on my shelf sit still collecting dust
Harry Potter ain't castin' spells he just one of us
The scary part is I don't know what's coming next and
Supposed to fill in these shoes that no ones stepped-in
Got an idea bout who I want to be
But what if life turns me into a wannabe
My future’s clouded and it's drivin' me up the wall
Tryna climb over but I'm too afraid that I’ll fall
Guess I gotta keep true to myself
Try and make a winnin’ hand out the cards that I'm dealt like
I want to do good in school - make my parents proud
Meet a nice girl and then maybe settle down
Have some great friends I know that I can lean on
Get the white picket fence and a green lawn
Raise some kids and be a dad they can look up to
Find a job that makes me happy love what I do
Spend all the time I can with my family
A life like that would be as sweet as candy
Never had a lot of confidence
Always too busy overthinking in my consciousness
Kids never failed to find a flaw to make joke about
When I tried to speak up they told me to close my mouth
And man that shit hurt
People say that its just words but it lasts like a third degree burn, had to make a u-turn and go
Find out about what I was really worth and how my piece fit in this puzzle we call earth and now I'm feeling Rebirthed, like I came up from the dirt,
Had to grow up so that I could learn to accept what I can’t change, took a while but I broke out of that cage, my Insecurities self-made I'm no longer afraid
Lookin up at my reflection and I smile
Swear I haven’t felt like this in awhile
When I was younger always wishing I was someone else
But now I'm feeling like the best version of myself
Never let go of the things that make me who I am
Blast the music in my car just because I can
Be comfortable walking round in my own skin
Let my emotions out don’t be too scared to hold it in
Be confident that life will take me on the right path
Keep moving forward don’t spend all of my time looking back
Don’t know what’s gonna happen, gotta wait and see
But most of all I just want to be me
I want to do good in school - make my parents proud
Meet a nice girl and then maybe settle down
Have some great friends I know that I can lean on
Get the white picket fence and a green lawn
Raise some kids and be a dad they can look up to
Find a job that makes me happy love what I do
Spend all the time I can with my family
A life like that would be as sweet as candy
