Lyrics :
What's goin on everybody!
My name is Todd Givens Jr.
I go by @ agiftfromtodd on all platforms
This is something that I wrote called “Getting Older”
Thank you so much for your time.
I think thing that broke my brain one day was walking into the bar
dap up a bouncer and i handed him my ID card
Took it from me and he held it from his eyes a bit far
Gave it back in half a second it was kind of bizzare
I asked him
did he e-ven look at- it and what did he say?
For my ID he didnt need a month or a day
My vibe for the night out would start to decay
The 19 in the year is what gave it away, hmm
Why you do
That to me
And feel the need to say it so loudly
It was in that moment i knew that things done changed
Some i saw coming, some strange
Been around long enough to see fans turn on James Harden
Traded video games for gardens
Occasionally think about the spartans
Candles are buy one get one free at bath and body works
Ya boy love a bargain.
Smell like teakwood and mahogany
Couple girls i used to love, now will never talk to me
Look at the divorce rate in America, almost 50%
Do i really want monogamy?
Probably, so i say it in jest,
Now i spend my days off in the crib playing chess
Outside is too expensive, and it’s causin me stress
Mama told me long ago i should be saving these checks
I aint got it all, and im not living in squalor
But why the f*ck a hashbrown $3?
Man, its not funny.
Work full time and STILL aint got Mcdonalds money
Got a degree and STILL act dummy
And while im at it,
We need to settle this beef
Who decided insurance doesnt cover vision and teeth.
Not gon jump you, but we might as well.
Hope you know that when you done you going straight to hell.
I aint speaking for God
But I know it’s the truth
Old folks be out of touch
But i got faith in the youth.
Cuz I remember being 14
Got my first phone, and it didnt have a touch screen
All I needed was Call Of Duty and caffeine
Laughing at bad memes
Making the track team
Paleontologist pipe dreams
Now I wanna know what in the world is my destiny
Last week my coworker died unexpectedly
AFTER BREAK
Rest In Peace Hendry
never seen a man work so hard
Cleaned a college dormitory
till the sun went abroad
All day on his feet
Picking up trash on his own
Just to get hit by a truck
when was on the way home, damn
Now 3 kids
Have no dad
This world is cruel
Theres memories that they should have had
Like going to prom
Tread carefully down the stairs
Daddy looks up at his daughter
And suddenly comes aware
That his little girl is growing up
Look how she glows in her dress
Might not have been a perfect father
but he’s doing his best
She’s come a long way
From when her every cry was a guess
And trying to feed her Cheerios was a mess
A single tear starts to form up in his eye on the right
Wipes it away and says baby girl have fun tonight
His heart beats faster
Knowing he has to let her go
Wishing he could keep her in the house
But he can’t let it show
He’s gotta play it cool
Act like he’s not phased
And put complete trust in a boy
He used to be that age
He knows the type of shit boys do at 17
They dress clean they
Talk right in your face
but when you gone they get mean
This lil boy better not lay a HAND ON MY DAUGH-
He suddenly relaxes
His wife grabs his hand
A subtle touch puts his mind back on solid land
Waive at the car as his little girl drives away
Wife reminds him that everything will be ok
He’s not like this, he’s feeling something new
Now that experience is something that he’ll never get to do
If you have
Ones you love
When you seem em gotta give em an extra hug
And if they ask you why tell em just because….
Give flowers while they can smell
Mercy while they can see
If they don’t know real love
show them what it can be
Death’ll come for us all
And bring his big homie grief.
Since i’m up here, Free Palestine
From river to sea muthaf*cka

@@AGiftFromTodd Hi, Jesse Dolemore sent me over. The part that really struck home with me was when you had to stop because your emotions overtook you. That happens to me a lot and I’m glad you didn’t edit it out. Singing is all about emotion. 🥰💕
