DopantBeats - Cycles and Evolution lyrics

(Verse 1) When I was a young rad Shifting back and forth from Mom's pad to Dad's pad You know, when we used to play that hard ball without pads Just some dumb kids doing dumb sh** Cracking padlocks, padding stashes in socks, scaling rooftops Brighten the mood with that bearded dude Break-ins and egging homes along Tyler Laugh at the tweakers when they set themselves on fire That poisonous trash, them Walter Whiters Never f** with that, I like my teeth too much Got a little older tried that cola rush Sometimes you had to get down and share love Late nights in an attic there with the addicts Hearts spilled like Exon Valdiz Faces number than trips to the O.D And no one ever OD'd, No attention from the police I would like to think we were just smarter than that Knew our limits and sh** Never went from peaking to flat But then you hit that quarter and your mind starts to wonder Is there more to this than parties and hunting p**y to sunder Just sayin'... (Hook) The past is the past It was good but it's gone While you biter's stag gnats sh**, I'm moving on Got a college degree Scored a mighty fine job Impressed Dr. Brown Said my future looks tall (Verse 2) Doubters saying that I couldn't do it Teachers told me that I'd never grow up So I never showed up These days are mine, now I'm in a place to show 'em The facade was just a shell Now they face odd when they face me in public Never phase me, I love it I always knew one day I'd fly that Black Flag rise above 'em The choice was mine long ago, I knew I was a pro I may have bloomed late, but baby I never ceased to grow I'm still wild at heart Just a new root for them to pick apart This is my reality and my family's proud of me So f** you, my eyes only see one shade of green And it's not envy, you do not exist to me A mystery miss me when I ash the sea Pretend you really taught me and were fond of my To the real teachers and people that taught me I could shine in the future with my own mind and love of adventure I love you for all time
