Never Listen To Adults (ft. Ratatat)

Never listen to adults
I turned up the volume on my speakers
All I spend money on is alcohal and sneakers
Hella MaryJane, I got bundles of reefer
I slept through class, never listened to my teachers
Cuz I aint really feel what they was teachin
Allways had dreams but they said Id never reach em
Skipped to the back, I aint turn one page
Trying to tell you how to live at a young age
If you dont go to school youll make a dumb wage
Its a fucked up system, but its never going to change
I channel through my bars all the struggling, the pain
Cuz I know my destiny is not to die with no name
So what you got a doctorate, I built my own fame
You in denial on the side like some chicken lo-mein
Im kicking propane when I enter the lab
And Ninja Turtle swag, no Splinter of that
Ive spent on my dreams, but youve spent on a fag
Cuz its ill shit when I put the pen to the pad
Chill son they already know this
But it took them four years just to notice
Irregaurdless Im focused
I just wanna say some ill shit
So when I die theyll quote this
And maybe then Ill get the props I deserve
I know what Im looking for its right around the curb
But cant seem to grab it Im searching for the nerve
Where the road to my riches and my dreams come to merge
Where my lifestyle matches my words
And trips to the sneaker shop are allways a splerge
Im getting there young, getting to a verge
Of a breakthrough year where my success will emerge
I made it here on my own, what can you say?
My everyday life is marti gra tuesday
Dray phones on listening to Lupe
Im knowing I should say more but I feel its too late
Record labels want bubble gum hits
A groupie fan base filled with bubble gum chicks
But when youre upstream up the struggle comes quick
Youre in a sea full of misery and trouble runs thick
Im not the one everyone thinks I am Brady in the six
Not the number one pick
Im no music industry experiment
This is my carreer Im in the drivers seat steering it
And theres some pressure on my shoulders and Im feeling it
But some worth a sweat one five and Im peeling it
The word won deals done now Im sealing it
The infrastructures blue printed now Im out building it
From the ground up, I still got a ways a go
I fucked the game raw yo plus fillachio
Then I flipped her something like a cart wheel
Im authentic, cant make it if you arent real
I want to be remembered so I grind like a barrel
Cuz my songs will beat longer than my heart will
