[Intro]
x2
[Verse 1]
I think I know where all my problems come from (California)
I never really had the guts to look under that log
I need them all, all, all to love me
But they see through me so easy
I wish I could believe in your God
Sounds fun
We could throw rocks out of heaven
I get these dark thoughts every day now
I never thought I'd be that one
Good news I'm way too scared to do it
And I have too much fun being scared
[Refrain]
I'm in this for life, like it or not
I'm not going anywhere, anywhere
I'm in this for life, like it or not
You will have to drag me by the neck
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna bail
Writing on the ceiling of the box while the coffin the nailed
California dreamin' while the demons are hot on our tail
Hop a curb, yes that was me offa the trail officer
No, I don't have a good reason
I was just in a mood to go seeking
Heard a hard poem, it had my heart thumpin'
Start my blood pumping again
[Chorus]
This one is for the people who raised me up
It's for the people who raised me up
If you remember one thing then remember how it felt
When you felt for the first time
This one is for the people who raised me up
It's for the people who raised me up
If you remember one thing then remember how it felt
how it felt.... how it felt...
[Refrain]
I'm in this for life, like it or not
I'm not going anywhere, anywhere
I'm in this for life,
drag me by the neck
[Bridge]
N.C.
You want your holy grail
N.C.
Try not to overthink it
N.C.
I try but always fail
N.C.
But I want it so damn bad
N.C.
I'm addicted to life
If I lived how I thought that you want me to live
I don't think you'd like what you got
If I shot my poetry out of a cannon
Would it make it any better?
If you fill a gun with glitter
N.C.
What'll become of the bullet
If you're only suffering under a vail
[Refrain]
I'm in this for life, like it or not
I'm not going anywhere, anywhere
I'm in this for life, like it or not
You will have to drag me by the neck
[Chorus]
This one is for the people who raised me up
It's for the people who raised me up
If you remember one thing then remember how it felt
When you felt for the first time
This one is for the people who raised me up
It's for the people who raised me up
If you remember one thing then remember how it felt
how it felt.... how it felt...
[Outro]
