[Speech]
When we were 5, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like, astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess. When we were 10, they asked again. We answered, rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer, well, how about this? Who the hell knows? This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere, fall in love - a lot, major in Philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday when they ask us what we want to be, we won't have to guess, we'll know
[Verse 1]
From, back in the day, I didn't have much to say
Now I'm 17, and about to graduate
With no idea what the hell I wanna do except rap to you
And be the HideandSeekZoo
And who the hell knows where I'll end up or be
I just go with the flow till the day that I see
No matter who I'm with, I just want to be happy
And have a better outlook than I did last week
Keep writing nouns and all these metaphors
Taking out the trash and mopping up floors
And for all I know I would probably do a better job cleaning
Than I'll ever do dreaming
Pimpin' on a budget, but yet I still love it
If life wasn't a b**h then I'd probably hug it
Take my life out this bucket, always writing something
Always blowing trees like a trumpet, f** it, yeah
Yo, this song is dedicated to anyone who's about to live the rest of their life, and they don't know what to do. This blunt's for you
[Verse 2]
I remember all the good times and bad
And all the pretty a** women that I wish I had
And high school didn't go nothing like I thought it was
I didn't expect all of y'all to do all those d**
That you did ever since I was a kid
Honestly, I thought I would be the sh**, but
I'm just a normal guy getting high to the words that I write
Till the day that I die
I never did a project, but always wrote the essays
Always stay true like, 'f** what the rest say'
You could have served me on your best day
I promise you'll come up short like a Wednesday
I'm content with the people that I've met
Time to go our separate ways, but I'll never forget
I remember every face, even though I never said 'Hi'
So I'm taking this time to say 'Goodbye'
Yeah, cuz this is all that it is, I remember
Meeting y'all back when were just kids
And now we're all grown up
Next time you hear about me is when I blow up
It's like that y'all
It's like this y'all
I'm crossing out school from my list y'all
I made it, and I don't know how
So, what now
[Speech]
Like all of you, I'm praying for this speech to be over soon. Most of us, have been dreaming of this day for years, the day we leave childhood and achieve independence. But even if we move thousands of miles away, there's no escaping. Our families are coming with us, they'll be with us forever. In our habits, our gestures, and in the choices we make. So, we'll never be set free, we'll never be alone. As Paul McCartney once said-
