Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
It's funny when
teens attend a week's events
Where my people keep
the scene intense,
D 
each with a spleen to vent
At least it seems like
we're speaking sense,
Dm 
really it's barely been a second since
D 
We were as na ive as them,
Em 
going out to meet some friends
Feeling uneasy when
making weak attempts,
to be feasibly perceived as men
D 
Dm 
Somewhere we had to reinvent,
bow our heads
Looking out of depth,
similar to hobbits when
D 
meeting ends
Em 
There's no seamless blend
into adult life
We've adapted to a batch of mannerisms
that are standardised
D 
You get embarrassed,
challenged and antagonised
Just adding to your character
as long as you adapt alright
Em 
Sit back, relax your stride
But make sure you're not
inactive all the time
Or you'll be practically paralysed
D 
It's easy for me to preach
with teens intrigued
But I still fiend for a sweet release
Where I can sleep a week between
Em 
the sheets
Finding the piece of feet is achieved
Before his mother squeezes
Dm 
and leaves it to scream for relief
It's not a game that we're in
D 
If it was, instead of playing
I'd be sitting in a seasonal seat
Em 
Watch the player switch positions
But still adopt the same gist of thinking
C 
This game's still for winning
D 
Dm 
Honestly, I   don't want the glory
D 
I would rather stand in the crowd
Dm 
while it pans out before me
Em 
Maybe I might ponder
what's in store eventually
But I'm not one to covet
wanting more incessantly
D 
Dm 
Cause to me it's like a form of jealousy
What you see is what you get
D 
and this encompasses all I'm yet to be
Em 
Been on  earth for a quarter century
My mother's first born,
first I crawled then I walked unsteadily
D 
Dm 
Now I stand tall with strength in me
This world I'll endure
just as long as I can force
D 
my pen to bleed
Em 
I've said my piece
while the said team stood
attentively
Em 
Checking my  development
receptively
D 
But while I pledged to keep a
Dm 
pedestrian speed
My expression in itself became
D 
a spectacle to see
Em 
Em
