lyrics

Lets go

Just realize that your perfect opinion is completely flawed
I don't know if it's because you lack the concept of right and wrong
You're too close to the sun so your gonna get burned
Going for heights only meant for birds
But I'll try to save you before you come back to Earth
(Back down to earth)

Kid, I know you want to make a name for yourself
But you've got to weigh out your options before taking the first step
(In hindsight)
You'll never listen since maturity isn't in your nature
And pride alone won't save you from yourself

I know first hand that you fall harder when you reach the sky
Instead of gliding on airways you'd rather push limits in life
But I'll advise as long as you'll listen
You want to make it big
(We want to be remembered)
Then lower your aspirations
You've gotta be smart and play it safe

Kid, I know you want to make a name for yourself
But you've got to weigh out your options before taking the first step
(In hindsight)
You'll never listen since maturity isn't in your nature
And pride alone won't save you from yourself

(Kid, I know you want to make a name for yourself)
But you've got to weigh out your options before taking the first step
(In hindsight)
You'll never listen since maturity isn't in your nature
And pride alone won't save you from yourself
