Stay Young from GOD MODE by The Only Voxx

Verse 1
Yo, remember runnin' streets, sun kissin' the face?
Scraped up knees the only worry in the whole place?
No bills stacked high, no clock to chase
Just cartoons, kickball, winnin' the race
Now it's "Good mornin' sir," fake smile I gotta plaster
This 9-to-5 shuffle feelin' like a disaster
They sold us a dream 'bout climbin' up the ladder
But every rung you reach, the ground gets sadder
Used to dream 'bout fly whips, big cribs, heavy chains
Now I'm dreamin' 'bout escapin' these financial pains
This whole "grown-up" thing feelin' like heavy rains
Washin' way the fun, cloggin' up the drains

Chorus
Ay! This adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)
Yeah, this adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)

Verse 2
Check the rearview, seein' simpler times flashin'
Used to rock the hand-me-downs, now it's 'bout the fashion
Pressure cookin' daily, gotta make the cash in
But the joy leakin' out, where's the passion?
They talkin' 'bout portfolios, dividends, and tax codes
Man, I'm tryna figure out where the cheat code goes
To unlock that level where the spirit still glows
Before responsibility plants its heavy woes
This ain't growth, fam, this feel more like a cage
Turnin' life's fresh script to a worn page
They want you buttoned-up, actin' your age
But my inner kid ready to jump on the stage!

Chorus
Ay! This adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)
Yeah, this adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)

Bridge
Don't let 'em fool you, put your youth on the shelf
That sparkle in ya eye? That's your real wealth
Hold onto laughter, be unapologetically self
Don't trade your wonder for somebody else's hell

Chorus
Ay! This adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)
Yeah, this adult life? Nah, that's a setup! (Setup!)
Got you chasin' paper 'til you fed up! (Fed up!)
Missin' kickin' back with ya feet up! (Feet up!)
Stay young in the soul, keep ya head up! (Head up!)

Outro
Yeah... Keep that spirit alive, you hear me?
It's a hustle out here... but don't lose the real you. Word up.
