[Chorus]

They wanna take gap years

I just wanna take a nap year

Dream croaking in a back room, it must be

My friends want STEM degrees

I just want better beats

Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 1]

Phone ring, pick it up, friends tryna tell me come light some

I think I might stay home, just write some

Play beats, make you wanna start a fight or some

Think about the album all night or some

I'm in a pickle, guy, I came up, used to be awkward

Now I got a girl, try to do her right

Still it's wrong in the long term

Moving off to college got me feeling like a monster

And I don't even have any energy to offer, offer

[Chorus]

Gap years

I just wanna take a nap year

Dream croaking in a back room, it must be

My friends want STEM degrees

I just want better beats

Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 2]

Before I knew it was ADD

I used to think that I wouldn't succeed because I was just lazy me

I couldn't focus on school, and my mama was telling me

"Hey, you need sleep"

But even when I was rested I was trying to escape into Jay-Z dreams

If I was Hov; Kanye

Maybe I could do it my way

Grow a Ben Frankie flower, never had a seed packet, just a hobby

I know some kids that I'm making believe like I'm Mr. Rogers with the trolley

That's why admitting giving up is a matter of time makes me feel sorry

[Chorus]

Gap years

I just wanna take a nap year

Dream croaking in a back room, it must be

My friends want STEM degrees

I just want better beats

Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 3]

I made the beat, I'm proud of it, damn

Even if this shit's your least favorite

Making songs used to be just as easy as eating cake

And heating pavement

I got friends that I want to love until they love themselves

I tell 'em high school wasn't hell

Don't think I peaked and run and tell

Last time they rung the bell I was jaded

And I am, still

If I died as a musician make this shit my damn will

Give the beats to Sam, bars to anyone who can do it for fun

Just don't ask me if leaving the story unfinished was dumb
