Rollercoaster

Life is like a rollercoaster

No choice but to ride

Highs and lows and upside downs

You won't know 'til you try

Better buckle on in and brace yourself 'til you make it to the other side

'Cause life is like a rollercoaster

To my ten year old self

Listen, kid

I know it's tough bein' as weird as you are

Just know those wounds you're feelin' fresh are soon to heal up and scar

You're just a scrawny little guy but you gon' fill out

Becoming normal though? I'm not gon' lie, that jury's still out

Losin' yourself in your own world with no reality involved

The other boys wеre kissin' girls and playin' ball

While you werе home with your books and those Ninja Turtles Dad got you from the mall

You feelin' lonely, huh?

Yeah, I know, I was there for it all

You got no siblings but some friends in life will prove to be exceptions

AG? That's your brother, see right now he's just your best friend

But in twenty somethin' years you'll be Best Man at his wedding

Crazy shit, right? This life is always bound to keep you guessin'

But you just heard that Slim Shady song, 'Hi, My Name Is"

And little do you know that's the moment your life changes

But for now enjoy the ride

Buckle up and play it safe

And just know that you bein' different's the thing that'll make you great[Chorus]

Life is like a rollercoaster

No choice but to ride

Highs and lows and upside downs

You won't know 'til you try

Better buckle on in and brace yourself 'til you make it to the other side

'Cause life is like a rollercoaster

To my twenty-five year old self

Look at you, you made some moves and now you think you're the man

But you're distracted

All that talk of how you'd stick to the plan

Was just that, all talk

Now the parties all you care about

If you're so fuckin' poppin', why you livin' at your parent's house, huh?

Havin' sex all reckless but here's the lesson

It's projection for the girls as a kid that you weren't gettin'

Rarely usin' protection

It's still hard to believe we made it out disease free

Without gettin' nobody pregnant

All them drugs you're doin' now will fuck up shit for me still

My brain never fully recovered from those ecstasy pills

But you're so caught up in the moment

No cares and just livin' lovely

As your current manager is mismanaging all your money

That should sober you up

And shit, it will but not for long

Which leads to why I gotta write a third verse in this fuckin' song

But for now, enjoy the ride

How could you not? You're young and high

This rollercoaster ain't over so keep your arms and legs inside[Chorus]

Life is like a rollercoaster

No choice but to ride

Highs and lows and upside downs

You won't know 'til you try

Better buckle on in and brace yourself 'til you make it to the other side

'Cause life is like a rollercoaster

To myself, now

Look who's all grown up

Took a toll but you succeeded

Dialed in and set your goals

And now them goals have been exceeded

Yeah, you'll never get the credit you deserve but we make peace with that

And grew to find we never really needed that

And now you got a great girl, a nice house, financially secure

But all you ever do is stress so god damn it, whats it for?

You're always bored and barely present

Why the fuck you got to bring us down?

At least our younger self was fun to fuckin' be around

You tell yourself that's just the price of this shit

But you been high lately more than you would like to admit

Drugged out half of the time and you say that you're doin' fine

But this is me you're talkin' to and I'm not buyin' it Chris

I know you're always under pressure tryna hold it all together

But that little kid from the first verse deserves better

However, the future still awaits so grab ahold

And get the safety straps buckled 'cause this coaster isn't over yet, yet[Chorus]

Life is like a rollercoaster

No choice but to ride

Highs and lows and upside downs

You won't know 'til you try

Better buckle on in and brace yourself 'til you make it to the other side

'Cause life is like a rollercoaster
