lyrics

If you know the name of this song
Let ‘em know, would you kindly
If you know the words to this song
Won’t you sing along with me
Yeah, um / uh
This ain’t some hardcore gangsta sway
But believe me when I say, you gon’ like it anyway
Open your heart to the back in the day
Because there ain’t nothin’ wrong
With a lil’ child’s play

[Hook]
I’m still a kid / I’ll never grow up
I may get big / bang theory blow up
Just let me live / My own life my way
I swear I’ll make it / simple as child’s play

[Bridge]
Jump, jump / spread your wings and
Jump, jump / and you’ll fly
Higher and higher and higher with
Higher and higher and higher we’ll be

[Verse]
Never worried ‘bout what to do next
Wasn’t always thinking ‘bout who I want to to sex
I was just a kid, chillin, playin in the sand
‘Til my world turned cold, forced me to be a man
Now I’m doing what I can
To survive in this hive that we call life
Always busy as a bee through the day and night
All I want to do is celebrate my birthday right
That’s all I really want / That’s all I really need
That’s all I really have / That’s all I really see
I ain’t ever giving up on my dreams
It’s always gonna be for my family
I know they think I’ma gonna stray but
I ain’t ever ever ever going away so
I may do what I may
But I’ma be right here at the end of the day

I’ll never forget where I came from
I’ll never forget ‘bout my dad and mom
I’ll never regret the things that I’ve done
Because I’m here now / watch me have my fun

[Hook]

[Verse]
The world today won’t turn my way
But that’s just how I feel
I’m searching for good fortune
So of course I spin the wheel
Embark with me on my journey
To find my fantasies
I will not stop until I’ve crossed
All seven of the seas
I’ll rise above to find my love
And never let it go
The glory is the story
I will tell wen I am old
Although I’m young I know the fun
Will never ever end
As long as I stay true to me
And all my real friends

I’ve got my own / I’ve got my home
I’ve got my whole life / I keep my head high
Nothing to prove / won’t explain nothing to you
They can’t understand my brain
They just think I’m playin’ games, ‘cause

[Hook]

[Bridge]

Trust in me / trust in we
Trust in child’s play / trust everything will be okay
Whoa / yeah
And that’s about it (x2)
