Am I loud and clear?
Or do I gotta scream like I did every day when I was a troubled teen, huh?
Do you want to know my past and see every single scar and know what they mean, huh?
17 running up in Mickey Ds begging for a double cheese, huh
Singing I dont want to grow up don’t nobody like you when your 23
I came from nothing but a fucking unsupportive father I dont ever see
I had to watch a crooked jury put my brother in the penitentiary,
I never fit in
Criticism, made me the man I couldnt be
Im reminiscing on when life was different spending every day at Chuckee Cheese, uh
We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end
And I’ll run these streets if you give me a chance
Ive been here so long
Maybe I should runaway
Try to find a summer day
What is love
Love is pain
Love is butterflies and stomach aches
Love is looking out a windowpane, tears dripping looking like you’re in the rain
For someone you dont even know but for somebody you may never see again
I am only alive once
And Ima die when God wants
So fill the sky with diamonds
Because thats how its gonna look when Im gone
Had a vision as a kid that one day I would change the world with my song
Several years have passed and now that vision came to life that boys a fucking icon
We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end
And I’ll run these streets if you give me a chance
Sometimes I dont want to fucking wake up
When all they want to do is bring me down
And all the things I’ve went through as I came up
Are the fucking reasons why I run this town
We live on front porches and swing life away 
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor, Ill slave til the end
And Ill run these streets if you give me a chance
We live on front porches and swing life away 
We get by just fine here on minimum wage 
If love is a labor, Ill slave til the end 
And Ill run these streets if you give me a chance 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away 
Swing life away
