Lyrics

[Verse 1]

These are the only child blues

The only child blues

The only child who? Yo, yo, yo

[Verse 2]

Back once again, hello

It's your favorite mellow schizo

The pavement on this yellow brick road

Fuckin' up my mental

[Verse 3]

My mood is like the tempo

Heartbeat that instrumental

I never lack potential

Every track is essential

[Verse 4]

Every project is special

Abundant and fundamental

Give a fuck about hunnids

As long as it's for my mental

[Verse 5]

With wisdom from what I been through

Knowledge that some can't get to

Understandin' that college is only out for a nickel

It could all be so simple

Tune it to the metronome

This how I used to feel back on the metro home

Fresh outta class, I knew these days, they wouldn't last

Just a steppin' stone I gotta pass

Another story for the lap

[Verse 6]

But fuck it, give him glory when he crash

He gettin' revved up, heads up, and he's comin' fast

He paved the lane before the cash

They tryna swerve me outta that

But I don't just got speed, ****, I handle my ass

[Verse 7]

Pedal to the gas

Life is but a getaway dash

My mind, my stash, guarded by my pen and pad

I'm drawin' weapons with the raps

You shoot, I shoot back, no questions asked

Raise your hands for the realest cat alive

[Verse 8]

(That's that boy right there, that's Joey Bada$$)

The only child blues (Joey, for the money, man)

(Yo Joey, man, yo Joey) The only child who? Yo, yo

[Verse 9]

And I remember sittin' in my room all alone

Starin' at my ceilin' fan, gettin' in my zone

Mama was never home

Woke up one mornin', papa was gone

Young and lost, so I ease my mind with popular songs

[Verse 10]

And of course, I sold my mind to music

Writin' everything I thought, started openin' my mind

Then I sent it abroad

They don't know what my ascendin' has caused

My third eye been blinkin' since

Irv Gotti been Inc. and Murder in stores

[Verse 11]

At least that's how Irv gotta be thinkin'

If I'm takin' a loss, then I'm better next week

And I'm never weaker

Never sinkin', on the fuckin' deep end

Any shit I missed, I prolly peaked it

[Verse 12]

(Life, you know, is fast livin')

These are the only child blues (It's not necessarily livin')

The only child who?

(Could also speak on the fact that, shit, you're a teenager)

The only child blues

(Me and you, we go back and forth on it all the time)

(Like, you know?) The only child blues

These are the only child who?

The only child blues, yo

[Verse 13]

Only child blues, O.C.B., O.C.B.

Jo-Vaughn, clean your room, OCD, OCD

I used to wanna be like O.D.B, O.D.B.

Now I'm a rap star, OMG, OMG

[Verse 14]

The only child blues, O.C.B., O.C.B.

Yo, Jo-Vaughn, clean your room, OCD, OCD

I used to wanna be like O.D.B, O.D.B.

Now I'm a rap star, OMG, OMG

[Verse 15]

What?

(Everything is perception)

(Your perception of yourself or who you are)

(Is not what other people think that you are)

(So like, for instance, you might say)

("Man, I'm cool, I don't wear jewelry, I own this, I own that")

(You don't have to)
