[Verse 1: Jabari Manwa]

It was cold in the summers when you're needed, yeah

You left us at the port, I couldn't believe, yeah

Now that I'm older I can finally see it

That you were tryin' your hardest and that you had to leave

2001's the year, I remember I could never breathe

My mama left, she had no choice but to go overseas

I held the baggage with me

All the things she couldn't keep

I had to get my shit together and roll up my sleeves

Thеre was no runnin' away

All the times that wе had, I forgive ya

You still loved me

All the moments behind when I missed ya

It's okay

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

It ain't nothing (Nothing)

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract & Jabari Manwa]

Kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (No)

Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more

The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (Say what you need to say)

Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more (Say what you gotta)


[Verse 2: Matt Champion]

And when you wake up on the edge of confusion

'Cause the one you love no longer sleeps by your side

I try to make you understand what's the problem

But I can't reach you like I used to

And I wish I take it all away, away

No one there to hold you like yesterday, day

I'm barely holdin' on, and that's just all it take

Only thing you seem to miss, you can't save


[Verse 3: Kevin Abstract]

Keep my-keep my eyes closed, keep my mind closed, baby

Switchin' time zones, get it right for me, baby

Get my mind right, that's the life for me, baby

I don't waste no time, that's why these kids, they keep on playin'

Come out to the shows, I play they favorite songs

Peep this in my phone, right there, look, it's the telephone

I could do no wrong in lil' Jimmy's eyes, yeah

I am just a man with another side

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract & Jabari Manwa]

Kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (No)

Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more

The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (Say what you need to say)

Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more (Say what you gotta)

(Say what you gotta)


[Outro: JOBA]

Dead to me, they don't mean to hurt you

Dead to me, ah

Duct-taped screams, blood all on the backseat

Let you free, ah

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Ahh

Free (Just say what's on your mind)

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Be free (Just say what's on your mind)

Ahh
