instrumental
I stood by somebody else and then I stood by you
I couldn't move my legs, I didn't know what to do
I fail to find the words, I try hard to be cool
I die to hear your voice, it's smoothly ringing in the room
I see you a surgeon in the looks, what could you possibly see in me
I lost the job I had, who picked me up when I'm more in doubt
You know I'll let you cut me up, I know you hate to see me bleed
Is it the color of my blood or me in the complete?
18 They had it out for us, We were always set for a fall
You saved 1979 to me it was the end of the world
Yeah right, we're safe, we're cool
I know you always wanted more
Pick me, we're so clean, we'll wake up when the worst is over
Did I tell you I was premature? I'm not fit to follow rules
I always fuck things up I guess that makes life more interesting
You think that I'm absurd, well certainly with you
I am absolutely assured I am ill conceived
There is always something wrong but I need to see it through
I don't mean to be obsessed, I don't need to be amused
I can't stand to be a stain that needs to be removed
If I sacrificed myself then I'd know I never knew you
Pick me, we're so clean, we'll wake up when the worst is over
Take me steering wheel to the cliff now we're going over
All I wanna do
Is do me
Feel me? Come on
Next time y'all niggas try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means i got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
I brush the dirt off my shoulder
Push through the city in an all pearl rover
One day I wanna be just like my nigga Hova
But they don't wanna let me
Haters they been hatin
Sayin what I can't be
But i'mma stay up on they bumper
Keeping the radios jumpin all summer
Havin your girl screamin just to take a picture
I'm settin up my features
My bank account's reachin
And everybody's peeking
Next time y'all try to compare me
Rememeber I just 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time ya'll underestimate me (Don't wanna that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
This is a funny situation
These guys I grew up havin crazy admiration for
Got the feelin that I'm tryna replace them
That ain't the case
I'm in a whole 'nother place
Tryna build my estate
I gotta keep my Nikes nice and clean
Keep the women up to 25 chasin me
Got Mr. Davis pushin buttons in the Captains seat
That means more dough before I'm too old
And basically before
Next time y'all try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Yeah yo Mario
Don't let 'em get you heated homie
Just only go harder
Let 'em underestimate you like you Antonio Tarver
Plus the dudes that be hatin is as old as your father
You got plenty time you gone get plenty shine
I don't pay 'em any mind
They been tryna critcize
But you can't live your life through another nigga's eyes
I'm the best and you young boys know so
I'mma fall back and let my young boy blow
Next time y'all try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time ya'll underestimate me (don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by.
If pleasure is the ultimate weapon
Then what's to say about all the pain?
With passion like a school in session
You better think up something clever to say
You look desperate
Befriending the "cool kids"
Cause how long will the popular take?
The tension's building up like a fever
You got to wonder when the hell it'll break
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
If it's too early to find out how it works out for you
You might as well be showing up late
If it's you who's dishing out all the hot pursuit
I hope you're plannin' on having to wait
Cause all I wanna do is put a price on you
Count you like a number then continue
To do what I must, do what I must to get paid
Well, I was hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
It's been lonely here lately
Here on the other side
When you're on the other side
So what's it like to be you?
So one of a kind
So, what it's like to be you on the other side?
Well, I'm still hoping I could crash the course you made out of imagination
Feel it? Do you feel it?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
Cause I was broken till I put you back together from imagination
Hear me? Can you hear me?
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
Cause I don't wanna get by, get by, get by this time
I don't wanna get by, get by, get by
It's been lonely here lately
Even when you're looking
Out of a body that's one day away
From being a corpse
You still feel eighteen on the inside
This is something you should know
There's no escaping getting old
But did I hear that when I was told so
When I was eighteen on the outside
Even when you're smiling
From the side of your mouth
I can hear you say that you want out
You still feel carefree on the inside
Somebody come through that window
And get me out of here
I thought we'd go through together
With thirteen I woke up from a dream
Things were not the same well you know what I mean
You know it's strange I never felt this way
And now everyday my world begins to change
I wanna do all the things they tell me not to do
And it's true I'm gonna find out something new
When I'm eighteen when I'm eighteen
I just can't wait 'til I get eighteen
The sun will shine the girls they smile
The world is mine when I get eighteen
When I walk by the girls they start to cry
And on the schoolyard all the boys are getting high
My parents seem to think I'm too extreme
But the whole world outside is waiting there for me
I wanna do all the things I'm not allowed to do
And it's true my life will be so beautiful
When I'm eighteen when I'm eighteen
I just can't wait 'til I get eighteen
The sun will shine the girls they smile
Do you remember every now and then?
We used to play guitar and sleep all day
Do you remember me back in the day?
Being lazy and I wouldn't care
Well every thing's changing
Those days that were easy
Just keep getting farther
I've been pretending
I'm not getting older
But I can't fight it
Time keeps passing
I'm 18 years old
Still know nothing at all
'Cause I'm 18 years old
And I'm losing control
Ditchin' school almost every day
And we had fun but now we're all just scared
That everything's changing
Those days that I'm missing
Just keep getting farther
I've been pretending
I'm not getting older
But I can't fight it
Can't deny it
I'm 18 years old
Still know nothing at all
'Cause I'm 18 years old
And I'm losing control
Oh no
Oh oh
Yeah
18 years old and what have I become?
I'm just hoping to God that I will reach my goals
I'm 18 years old
Still know nothing at all
'Cause I'm 18 years old
Võta kaasa kallis mind, seiklust ihkab minu hing
Lapsepõlv on mööda läind, kaheksateist juba täis.
Näita mulle merd ja maid, ära küsi seda vaid,
mida ütlen ise tean, suureks saanud olen ma.
Alles oli kui sind kooli saatsind,
süütud silmad mulle otsa vaatsid.
Kallistasid hellalt paari nukku,
armas laps sa tead, elu alles ootab ees.
Keksu mängisid sõbrannadega,
poisse pritsisid sa seebiveega.
Aga nüüd kui aastad mööda saanud,
tahan ütleksid mul sõnad need.
Võta kaasa kallis mind, seiklust ihkab minu rind.
Lapsepõlv on mööda läind, kaheksateist juba täis.
Näita mulle merd ja maid, ära küsi seda vaid,
mida ütlen ise tead, suureks saanud olen ma.
Aastaid vaatasin ma sinu kasvu,
nüüd sa peaga riivad puude latvu.
Mehed ohkavad kui sind nad näevad,
suureks oled saand.
Sa kõigil segi ajad pea.
Lapsepõlve täna maha jätsid,
ja mu ümbert õrnalt kinni võtsid.
Täna pead sa oma sünnipäeva,
Tahaksin, et ütled sõnad need sa.
Võta kaasa kallis mind, seiklust ihkab minu rind.
Lapsepõlv on mööda läind, kaheksateist juba täis.
Näita mulle merd ja maid, ära küsi seda vaid,
mida ütlen ise tead, suureks saanud olen ma.
Võta kaasa kallis mind, seiklust ihkab minu rind.

Dad, I overheard you say to mom,
I could use his room when he is gone.
We don't ever seem to get along,
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
When I'm 18 I will be free
When I turn 18 you won't need me
'Cause I- I won't need you
I can make you mad, thats how it seems,
Sometimes I get that vibe when you scream
And now I have become your worst bad dream
Do you want me to leave?
I could leave, I could leave
When I'm 18 I will be free,
When I turn 18 you won't need me
'Cause I- I won't need you
And you can't save me,
You can't break me, make me
You can lock me in, I'll find a key
I'll break out for good, don't follow me
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
When I'm 18 I will be free,
When I turn 18 you won't see me
When I'm 18 I will be free,
When I turn 18 you won't see me
