Be a Kid Again

[Intro: Will Smith] Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period [Verse 1: TripOne] In the passenger seat on 27 Or is it Route 1? I don't pay attention I'm just a kid In a world I shouldn't be living in Scared of a lot, too many excuses They all become useless It makes you feel stupid Unreasonable to believe in yourself Getting lost on the road, always needing some help And I ask How do my shoes fit a man? Like my dad, he is now that angel I look up to My small soles would make his feet uncomfortable My heart and soul should make everything lovable Except this tug-of-war, the battle between kid and adult Mom tells me "love your childhood, tomorrow grow up" Contradiction These expectations got me all conflicted We must decide, there's freedom being a kid And being adult, but in the middle freedom ain't shit That's what I been lost in, seen the towels get tossed in Suicide to childhood becomes the popular option But I figured out If you look into the future, you could live it out Don't cling to the past, how tight you hold on You're trying to get a grip on something that's already been gone Look back with fondness, take a hit of nostalgia Then it's back to reality, back to making progress Back to being a lawyer, back to being a doctor Instead of selling that rock, they don't take shit in that office Back to filling that wallet, you don't have no more problems Money can buy you freedom today, that's no more bullshit Freedom is to be happy, freedom is just to live Freedom as an adult is freedom to be a kid Freedom to be a kid is to do this and that, and Spitting, rapping, living passion Live your passion Make your visions happen So now we have the freedom to do whatever we vision I'm focusing on a mission, say "muh-fuck the system" They always say the kids are the future of the nation So let's keep the youth alive and make the next generation [Hook: TripOne] And maybe, we could all be kids again Said maybe, we could all be again Cause ain't that all you want? I said ain't that all we want? [Hook repeated] [Outro: Martin Luther King, Jr.] Let freedom ring, from the mighty mountains of New York Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill from Mississippi, from every mountainside! Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
