## Lyrics

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

I still remember writin' words down

Tryna get them all out of my mouth

Big boy, you a big boy now

Big boy, you a big boy now

Don't pout 'round me

Don't cry around me

Don't laugh 'round me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin

**[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]**

If I had another

I'm a bad motherfucker

Got love for my mother

The city that protect me

I don't fuck with y'all like I used to though

But you could come around for the Houston baby, oh

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

I still remember writin' words down

Tryna get them all out of my mouth

Big boy, you a big boy now

Big boy, you a big boy now

Don't pout 'round me

Don't cry around me

Don't laugh 'round me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin

**[Verse 2: Joba]**

Who the Hell am I?

Who the Hell are you?

Don't waste my time, I got shit to do

Been in love with you, don't know what to do

Still searchin' for the truth, every which way

Mental foreplay, bound by cuffs to you

Do it my way, like everything I do

Take my breath away

Don't let me fade away

May die before I wake

Not the type to play

I take, and take, and take

Never want a change

Always wanna change

Used to count my change

Everybody changed

Memories of the days

I was young at heart

Matters of the heart

Rearrange, reactions in my brain

Redefine my pain

Been wishin' I could change

Hard to change my ways

Trained a certain way

Afraid of my own fate

Just another phase

**[Bridge: Joba]**

Lost cause and a lost child

Lost my way tryna change for the wrong crowd

I'm weak and I'll say it proud

Built me up, pull me down, let's air it out

Patch me up, and stitch it

Make me better

Just patch me up, and stitch it

Make me better (Make me better)

**[Verse 3: bearface]**

What a day, what a day

I just had a dream that you took it all away (Ayy)

Blow smoke in the face

I just hope your lil' bro grow to be great (Ayy)

What a day, what a day

I just had a dream where you took it all away (Ayy)

Blow smoke in the face

One in the clip, and one in the chamber (Yeah)

We was riding in the dark, you were putting your legs up (Legs up)

Girl, I don't know, maybe I should just stay shut (Stay shut)

Did I ruin your life baby, even from day one? (Uh-uh)

If it was another life, maybe you could still save us (Ooh-ooh)

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

I still remember writin' words down

Tryna get them all out of my mouth

Big boy, you a big boy now

Big boy, you a big boy now

Don't pout 'round me

Don't cry around me

Don't laugh 'round me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin

You ain't shinin' like me

You ain't shinin' like my cousin
