random throwaway songs - old/dusty lyrics

(narration by andré 3000)
you know, time has a funny way of pushin’ you forward, even when you’re not ready
you’re just a kid, tryin’ to figure it out, thinkin’ you got all the time in the world
then one day you wake up, and those dreams are knockin’ at your door, askin’ if you’re still comin’
and the real question is… are you ready to answer?

[part 1]

(verse) tyler, the creator
man, i’m gettin’ older, yeah, that thought kinda stings
still talkin’ to mirrors like, “what’s all this life thing?”
see kids in the park, thinkin’ someday i’ll be that
a dad or somethin’—but how do i act?

earl got his own path, frank doin’ his thing
we used to be kids, now we kings with rings
but еvery time they call, i’m just tryin’ to play cool
tryin’ to stay groundеd but feelin’ like a fool

scared of the love that i don’t think i’ll get
who sticks around when you’re lost in your head?
yeah, they say, “you’ll find someone, patience is key,”
but what if that someone don’t wanna find me?

man, future’s a ghost, driftin’ close but still vague
i’m standin’ here yellin’, just stuck in this age
thinkin’ ‘bout kids, thinkin’ ‘bout dreams
thinkin’ ‘bout everythin’ tearin’ at seams

(chorus) tyler, the creator kendrick lamar
i’m just growin’ old, watchin’ dreams fade and fold, yeah
feelin’ like a kid but these years feelin’ cold
got my hands full of plans that i’ll never hold, hold on
life’s movin’ fast, and i’m just tryna keep control. keep goin

(verse 2 + kendrick lamar)

i’m out here, haunted, tryna be somethin’ more
but every mile i move forward, feelin’ further from before
yeah, the city raised me, but i left it in the dust
guess i’m supposed to be their savior—tell me, who do i trust?

all this weight on my shoulders, holdin’ stories they told
i’m just one man, tryin’ to heal a wound decades old
my mama prayin’ daily, sayin’ “boy, stay safe,”
but these demons lurk close, feel ‘em breathin’ on my face

i write for the ones caught in life’s cold hands
but feel guilt for the fam still stuck in quicksand
while others make pay, against the culture they betray
i’m doing nothing to stop it, what do i say?

mirror’s lookin’ at me like, “who you foolin’ now?”
these voices gettin’ louder, don’t know if i’m proud
thought i’d grow past the fear, now it’s just takin’ hold
and the weight on my chest, man, it’s startin’ to mold—
(the beat cuts and fades out, replaced by the sound of kendrick’s heavy breathing, as if he’s trying to calm himself down, then the beat switches to something softer)

[part 2]

(verse + tyler, the creator)

am i built to last, or just a trend in the night?
all this glitter might fade, and i’m scared it just might
kids call me legend, but legends get old too
what if i’m just a phase, what if none of this true?

i’m haunted by shadows of the dudes that i studied
writin’ like they wrote, but my pages get muddy
rust creeps in, yeah, it’s corrodin’ my name
all this shine on the surface, but what’s under the fame?

frank told me, “chill,” but this weight on my chest
feels like i’m runnin’ in circles, i can’t take a breath
earl’s got his own way, said “life’s just a race,”
but i’m lost in the pace, can’t keep up with the chase

future me got dreams that he’d hate if i knew
‘cause i’m stuck in the mirror, chasin’ something that’s through
i’m tryna be timeless, but what if i’m wrong?
what if i fade out like the end of this song?
feels like i’m climbin’ just to hit the same walls
will they still scream my name when this echo just stalls?
i’m scared that my glory will tarnish and dust
what’s the point of the crown if it’s covered in rust?
