Only Getting Older Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s 4:22 The dark is clowding my judgement
I’ve got a pen and some paper trying to write some substance
In my words in my sanity, Success and loved why can’t it be?
Is it cause I only want the vanity or is all this just a result of the fan in me
Wanting….. to meet my idols
So this pen is sitting idol cause I can’t think of a title
I’ve been here for quite a while
And it get harder to smile
Acting like a child yet why is it that they choose me
And I ain’t trying to be choosy but I don’t rap about the uzi’s
So do they really mean it or do they just wanna use me
Cause how many rappers came up out of awhwatukee
The same amount as a bad Disney movie
And I guess that’s zero so am I number one
My term has just begun And I just wanna be done
With the climing and the rising, I just wanna be the man that’s thriving
I don’t chase my dreams I just take my time arriving
And Is that to much to ask for Cause that is what I rap for
But do I really want the fame
Money to blow and women who know my name
Am I in my lane or just a college rapper
With rhymes that are master and I dress a little dapper
She was my cancer and I don’t need to mention zodiac
I want her as bad as charlotte wants kobe back
But I can’t because I want the night time skyline of Chicago
The Crib in Colorado Fame Over Sanity the motto
R.E.A.L. Records is the label I forever remain faithful
Man I’m only getting older
[Hook]
All I care about is money and the city that I’m from
I’ma sip until I feel it, I’ma smoke it till it’s done
And I don’t really give a, and my excuse is that I’m young
And I’m only getting older so somebody should've told ya
I’m only getting older...

[Verse 2]
Swerve Bitch, AK in my firm grip
Hand in the green like im fist fucking kermit
These people think they’re cool with me
Because they went to school with me

I’m all about the jewerley
You ain't april foolin me

I be up late at night
Dreamin about a vacant flight
You know it’s me and franklin right?
Performing in a bedroom mirror, It only makes your vision clearer
Destiny is screaming and it seems like only I can hear her
I’m only getting older my flows are only getting colder
Swallow or it’s going in your eyes is what I told her
"‎"...They say it's been a while since they heard me on the air waves
/ i've just been having 1 to many 'i dont even care' days..."
Cause they say my songs are to dark, nah that’s my skin
I don’t rap about sex cause I don’t get it in
And it shouldn’t be debated like a rumors
The fact is money’s on my mind like it’s a fucking tumor
I’m on my grind, you ain’t even skating
I ain’t went this hard since I was 18
Oh wait that was 3 months ago, haha hate me!

Got the beat screaming out “Frankie just ate me!”
And then I digested it and sent it through my bowles
Then shit it out and wiped it on a toilet paper towels
But if you’re gonna complain
Make your bed upon a train, tracks
And add a million to me like my first name is max
I’m not chasing cats I’m chasing cows for the cream
Till I’m drowning in the green, I represent my team
Real Records, Reaching Everything Achievable
In Life
it’s so soulful I agree with ya
I’m only getting older, I’m only getting wiser
I’m only getting colder yet I’m only spitting fire
