The Life I Use To Hate

Growing up no independence Restricted by my mom's time limit  Forced to go to school  Because they said education would be my greatest tool  "I can't wait to be an adult"  Riding that bus with all that fuss  Praying God please let them hush  Everyone making choices for me  Telling me I'm to young for some things to see  "I can't wait to be an adult"  Working all day for nabs and a bottle of coke as my pay One of these day I'll be a millionaire I use to say  I'll do what I want and do it my way  And dare anybody to have something to say  "I can't wait to be an adult"  Now I'm a adult  My mom tried to warn me about this cult  Now I have my independence  Though my student loan debt is longer than a life sentence  "I wish I could go back to the life I use to hate"  I do what I want and do it my way  Yet people still have something to say  I have my own car  But without gas money I can only go but so far  "I wish I could go back to the life I use to hate"  No worries no bills  Just fun time filled with thrills  I'd give anything to go back to the life I use to hate  For little did I know that life was pretty great
