dan j (uk) – youth lyrics
[chorus 1]
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
[verse 1]
i can’t recall the last time i was sat on a beach
resting my feet
kicking back
eating ice cream
now i got new problems challenging me
people that wanna see my defeat
it’s like we’re all on different teams
when was the last time i didn’t worry about the future
just spending summer taking hits from my scooter
now i’m tryna make hits with beats on my computer
take me back to playing capes cos that was super
and i’ll never be 17 again, that’s life
i could blow up and be forgotten in one night
can’t dance yet but my flow on the song’s right
maybe one day they’ll call me a young mike
[chorus 2]
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
[verse 2]
but in contrast my life’s still breezy
police got my brothers gunned down so briefly
and i’ll still spend my nights all dreamy
same time 1 billion won’t sleep easy
still got male powers making rules for others
it’s free will but these laws mean they gotta be mothers
i’m still a kid and segregation got me smothered
higher ups said they had me but, where are you brother?
[bridge]
i can’t be a big fish anymore
and we can’t go back
i can’t be a big fish anymore
and we can’t go back
[chorus 3]
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
our youth is running away
running away
running away
from us
