Artist: Gym Class Heroes Album: For the Kids Song: Eighty-Five (Sie One Remix) Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Travie McCoy] Yo Sie, cats be fallin behind Tryin to keep up in time Yo, yo It seems like lately time be beatin my ass Every step is like a right hook, from Iron Mike Tyson in his prime It's like my mind is on a treadmill, I'm sweatin bullets I see the plug but I can't pull it, the belt just keeps bringin me back And every minute is like a "tiger uppercut" from Sagat I'm up against these ropes and ain't no tellin if I'll win or not These gloves is gettin heavy - it's fight or flight you know how that goes Facin clocks is chasin got me dodgin obstacles And every hour is like a tightrope. I walk with greasy shoes Still yet I got my conscience tellin me that I can't lose So every time I start slippin, and ego starts trippin I focus real hard and levitate just like I'm God and everything is lovely, I'm in the clouds no one above me With the gift to differentiate snakes from those that love me There's a thin line, between happiness and hopeless An even thinner line between on point, and out of focus But - back to my story, about my fall from glory And how I levitate from the fate, time put before me They say "be patient" - but what the fuck is patience when my heart is racin? Put yourself in, my situation Tried to be humble, you won't refrain from gettin pissed when you look down to see you're fallin right through time's abyss And start to see visions, memories you really miss Simple things - like your first birthday wish Your first girlfriend, your first love, your first french kiss Your first time feelin hate, the first time you got dissed Your first day of school, your very first college class Your first time touchin titties, first time you got ass Your first time learnin wrong from right, first lonely night The first time you got your ass whooped in, your first real fight Your first triple-double dare, your first pubic hair Your first time watchin Jason, your first nightmare That's when you realize that time was your worst nightmare Now you're stuck askin yourself why, ain't life fair You get closer to the bottom, see the end of your line Your first time ever losin, this battle with time But right before you meet your death, one more memory left The only one that's obsolete, was your first breath {*3X*} [Chorus] One moon to the next Clocks switch when you least expect it And make the simplest shit complex The baby face got the planet fooled Books get judged by the covers worldwide Coincide with the illest The real is just fictional dreams No time to deal with two-dimensional fiends Shit hits the fan with every click of a hand I'll be a man eventually, when the kid in me is satisfied But 'til the day arrives all I got is eighty-five [Travie McCoy] A clock can kill motivation, that's why I'm never rockin a watch What's a deadline - when you're livin on your own time? I'm livin slow, Peter Pan style son You didn't know I never grow up, my mind is set at six years old As far as I'm concerned this grown-up shit, is for the birds So pass the Skittles, JuJu Fruits, the Now & Laters, and Nerds I'm eatin sweets until my teeth fall out, and I can't see And I'm deaf in my left ear but my right can hear cause I'm livin happily So why you mad at me? Cause your frustrations gave you grey hairs Ninety-nine percent of your life's spent, chasin American nightmares THE FUCK OUT OF HERE~! I'm crazy childish, check the habits I play with my food, pick my nose, and eat it damn it Plus I pick my scabs, I'll be the first to pop a blister Cause I'm more immature, than that cat from Sister-Sister If my parents tell me no, I'ma do it anyway Experience will make more sense than anything that they could ever say Forever playin video games until I'm sleepy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater please, you'll never beat me So - basically you're better off paying a bill or somethin Your mind is elderly, forty over the hill or somethin I'm young at heart, I'ma forever be a kid I'm on some Tom Hanks shit - you ever seen the movie +Big+? My heart is trapped in '85 the coolest place I've ever been in my life We watchin Smurfs, eatin Cinnamon Life Never knew a crack +Rock+, cause it was +Fraggle+ The only pink +Pussy+ we knew was +Snaggle+, your mind's in the dirt We playin Hungry Hippos 'til our hands hurt What do you know about, pourin out a whole box of Trix to get the toy out? Scared to, go to sleep cause somethin's under your bed And all it, took was one look to get them thoughts out your head And then ya, fall right to sleep without a worry in mind That's why I, can't understand why cat's be hurryin time And I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Crab Apple Kid And I enjoy the company of people I relate with But if it comes down to it, to deal with cat's that I despise I just close my eyes and drift away to '85
