U4EA - 18 Lyrics

This new stage brings new problems
This new age should be able to solve them
At least that's what I thought when I was young but that's not the case
So I'm looking too solemn
It's scary when they're telling me to grow up
'Cause that's all I wanted when I didn't know much
And I still don't which is terrifying
But I guess that's the icing on top of the doughnut
Did my leaving cert but I lacked a lot of knowledge
I won't be surprised if I don't get into college
That would mean I'd have to go back when I'm 23 and until then I'll be in a job it's
A little weird creating my CV
I'd rather spend my time making a new CD
Keep making them until they all see D
But a rappers not the grown up thing to be see

I'm 18 now
18 now
18 now
18 now, yeah
I'm 18 now
18 now yeah
18 now yeah
18 now yeah
I'm 18 now
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah I'm 18 now
I said
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah yeah

Everything in life comes with a price
And the cost of living is on the rise
I won't be able to afford a car or insurance but I really need to learn to drive, yeah
I've been feeling low so I'm getting help
But I'm almost out of free services for mental health
I know my parents would make it work but I hate asking for parental help
I need to defend myself
But for that I need a job for money
Also a ride which is why I want to drive but see
That won't happen for a while
I need to organise my time
But I don't know whether to give more or less to rhymes
See it's what I want to make my profits from
And I know the cliche you got to do what you love
But I'm an adult now
I have to be a grown up
I have people relying on me with lots of stuff

18 now
18 now
18 now
18 now, yeah
I'm 18 now
18 now yeah
18 now yeah
18 now yeah
I'm 18 now
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah I'm 18 now
I said
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah yeah

I'm feeling blue with a greenish hue
Ay
A weakling who is concealing truths
From who?
From people who want to see me see this through
But my thoughts are the only things that I feed into
Feed into
I don't want to be disappointing everybody
But I'd rather die than leave rap as just a hobby
I said I don't want to be disappointing everybody
But I'd rather die than leave rap as just a hobby
I know I have got responsibilities, yeah yeah
But I also know I've got abilities, yeah yeah
They may not be in my boiling blood but
I know they're in my soul
Something was missing and rap fills that hole
If I keep trying to act like I'm grown
I'll be stupid thinking it won't take a toll
So that's got to change, ay
'Cause I'm 18 now ay

18 now
Yeah
I'm 18 now
Yeah
Yeah
18 now
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah I'm 18 now
I said
I've got heart, but life's got harder
I've gone far but I can't go farther
Yeah yeah
