[Hook: Caye] In the merry-go-round Even tho I'm broke I know I'm still a child At the bone, cause that merry go round Even tho I'm on my own I'll always be a child At the bone [x2] [Verse 1: Caye] See, when I was a kid, I be staring at PBS Or playing tag at recess, feeling no need to be stressed Could get whatever I want with just a simple request Playing the part with no rest and come on in refreshed It's like it's a gift and I saw it as a blessing Whenever I went wrong, we moved on and learned a lesson I never felt the need to take a hit or blow the rezin But now the feeling's gone, is it I was just messing? And things have changed, now that I am 17 I start to realize that people often never dream Sad to question how more on why we disagree And why we so mean, I'm wondering why so few people have had a dream [Pre-Hook: Caye] And I'm wishing that it will just all slow down I'm just trying to forget all that I know now That's why I breath in slow and let the smoke blow out So pa** to the left until that green go brown [Hook: Caye] In the merry-go-round Even tho I'm broke I know I'm still a child At the bone, cause that merry go round Even tho I'm on my own I'll always be a child At the bone [x2] [Interlude: Caye] La la, lalalala la la Lalalala la la Lalalala la la [Verse 2: Caye] Yo, I throw it back a couple years, just for a minute Spin it like a record, play it back until the finish Listen to me tell it, lemme reminisce See, it was forth grade when I first exceeded limits Oh, I got suspended, shots to chest for Bennett Teachers acting offended, really they just pretending My parents saw my a** saying to pick who my friends is Sit with it repentant, man, I never understood How could all this punishment possibly lead to good? f** a time out, I'mma live it how I should I dipped out, while I hid my head under my hood Hoping nobody could see me peacing to Hollywood And it has been like a dream, I just haven't woke up It's time to go up, hopefully before I blow up You know what? I just keep on giving no f**s Cause if the living isn't great, then you should probably smoke up [Hook: Caye] In the merry-go-round Even tho I'm broke I know I'm still a child At the bone, cause that merry go round Even tho I'm on my own I'll always be a child At the bone [x2] [Interlude: Caye] La la, lalalala la la Lalalala la la Lalalala la la [x2]
