Adults

You were the hugs And all the love You said I’d ever need Now that I’ll be gone You tell me I’m wrong And you’ll pull the rug out From under me Make me feel my worth Depends upon your blessing Adults Always telling us We can fly, fly, fly away Shoot for the sky But when we try, try, try Its never good enough Its not their way I might just be young, yeah And yeah they just might be right… They put us in chains Afraid we’ll change In ways they never could They put us in chains Before we can even try. Now I gotta front Act like I know what I’m doing Even when I don’t Much more than I do And they love to call it attitude Adults tying the rope Around our necks So we don’t hang ourselves
