Skunked out into the night
Splitting home to go dig on the street
Sick of all the same ole hassles
Drills and cops on their bullshit beats
But with my virgin veins and all my growing pains
The myths of street kid living
Didn't match the shit I was givin'
Ain't no noddin' off on dreams, sleepin' in reality
Wasted youth
It ain't wasted on me
Set me free
You are my destiny
Taken in by all the older kids who lived it all way before me
Some don't last for much too long and some leave us tragically
'Cause when you're gettin' too old and your habit takes hold
You start to lose your twinkling smile
You know it's all the same trap
I wanna hear your dumb rap
You live in the same shit as we do
I don't need your denial
Wasted youth
You ain't wasted on me
Set me free
You are my destiny
Feelin' so slow, feelin' so small
Guess they were right, we were destined to fall
We're fallin' lower, lower, lower
Till we ain't nowhere at all
You know I think we lost our minds out there
Fallen face down into their dirt
'Cause it's too easy too
(Sic)
Shut yourself on down
Succumb to all their pain and hurt
But I was born a free man, won't slam no cuffs on my hands
And I ain't gonna turn on the kids that helped me out
'Cause we ain't your victims no more without your spike slammin' sore
Wasted youth? That ain't us that's your own damn miss
Wasted youth
You ain't wasted on me
You ain't our destiny
Set us free
Flyin' high, flyin' free
Flyin' for goddamn pretty youth
