Am and I clear loud
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 D's begging
For a double cheese huh
Singing "I don't want to grow up don't nobody
Like you when your 23"
I came from nothing but a f**king
Unsupportive father I don't 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 couldn't be
I'm 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
I've 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 don't even know
But for somebody you may never see again
I am only alive once
And I'mma die when God wants
So fill the sky with diamonds
Because that's how it's gonna look when I'm 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 boy's a f**king 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
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 don't want to f**king 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 f**king 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 I'll slave till the end
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance
We live on front porches and swing life away
all my dreamers)
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
stay real)
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
and to my love)
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance
stay here)
Swing life away
what we do)
Swing life away
and what we do)
Swing life away
yeah)
Swing life away
and we just)
Swing life away
lets swing life away)
Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away
