Intro
C# G# A#m Fm Gb C# A#m G#
[Chorus]
C#
In the merry-go-round
G#
Even tho I'm broke
A#m
I know I'm still a child
Fm Gb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
C#
Even tho I'm on my own
A#m
I'll always be a child
G#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Verse 1]
C# G#
See, when I was a kid, I be starrin' at PBS
A#m Fm
Or playing tag on recess, feeling no need to be stressed
Gb C#
Could get whatever I want with just a simple request
A#m G#
Playing the part with no rest and come on in refreshed
C# G#
It's like it's a gift and I saw it as a blessing
A#m Fm
Whenever I was wrong, we moved on and learned a lesson
Gb C#
I never felt the need to take a hit or blow the rezin
A#m G#
But now the feeling's gone, is it I was just messing?
C# G#
And things have changed, now that I am 17
A#m Fm
I start to realize that people often never 'gree
Gb C#
Sad to question how more on we disagree
A#m
And why was so mean,
N.C.
I'm wonderin' why so few people have had a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
C# G#
And I'm wishin' that it will just all slow down
A#m Fm
I'm just tryna forget all that I know now
Gb C#
That's why I breath in slow and let the smoke blow out
A#m G#
So pass to the left until that green go brown
[Chorus]
C#
In the merry-go-round
G#
Even tho I'm broke
A#m
I know I'm still a child
Fm Gb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
C#
Even tho I'm on my own
A#m
I'll always be a child
G#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Interlude]
C# G#
La la, lalalala
A#m Fm
La la, lalalala
Gb C#
La la, lalalala
A#m G#
La la, yo uhh
[Verse 2]
C# G#
Yo, I throw it back a couple years, just for a minute
A#m Fm
Spin it like a record, play it back until the finish
Gb C#
Listen to me tell it, lemme reminisce
A#m G#
See, it was forth grade when I first exceeded limits
C# G#
Oh, I got suspended, shots to chest for Bennett
A#m Fm
Teachers actin' offended, really they just pretendin'
Gb C#
My parents saw my ass sayn to pick who my friends is
A#m G#
Sit with it repentant, man, I never understood
C# G#
How could all this punishment possibly lead to good?
A#m Fm
Fuck a time out, I'mma live it how I should
Gb C#
I dipped out, while I hid my head under my hood
A#m G#
Hopin' nobody could see me piecin' that Hollywood
C# G#
And it has been like a dream, I just haven't woke up
A#m Fm
It's time to go up, hopefully before I blow up
Gb C#
You know what? I just keep on giving no fucks
A#m
Cause if the living isn't great,
N.C.
then you should probably smoke up
[Chorus]
C#
In the merry-go-round
G#
Even tho I'm broke
A#m
I know I'm still a child
Fm Gb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
C#
Even tho I'm on my own
A#m
I'll always be a child
G#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Outro]
C# G#
La la, lalalala
A#m Fm
La la, lalalala
Gb C#
La la, lalalala
A#m G#
La la (x2)
