lirik lagu jmcee – 17
[verse 1: jmcee]
coming up to 17, big number like it’s evergreen
and that’s the maddest thing i’ve ever seen
people are changing, the world is aging
my brain is swaying, my neighbours praying
rest in peace jack, rest in peace elsie too
so many great people that were taken too soon
awful ways to go, i need a f~ckin’ miracle
the world is shredded and i need some cereal
yeah i need some cheerio’s, moreover
i need to be happy; start over
i need to feel a sense of happiness for once
not weighed down by death or remorse
i’m not saying i’m never happy, i’m always calm
but i get this feeling in my stomach like vietnam
my life flashing before my eyes like it’s vhs
but like i’ve already skipped to the end
i’m seeing my end, i’m seeing their end
and i know it’s imagination, but i swear when
i imagine dark sh~t about the ones i love
i don’t know why my brain does it, i need a dove
i need some peaceful thoughts instead of this
because it’s dragging me down, it’s ludicrous
it’s like i’m looking into a portal to the future
but the worst version of that future, proof that
i probably know how a lot of stories end
but is it fact or fiction? man i’m nearing the bend
why do i think of these people like it’s history?
i’m looking in retrospect: like there’s a better me
is reading these thoughts and laughing a lot
he’s taunting me, but then maybe he’s not
because this is a paradox, i feel it and i’m not
even there yet, i hear it and i’m not even
hearing, these voices in my head, cheering
instead i hear them just kinda telling me
and before i say, i know this ain’t a felony
but i feel regret anytime i think of people
who have died, like they should be hearing all
the things the living are saying about them
like they’re missing out, i’m missing without them
i’m starting to ramble, so let me stop right here
i’m paranoid for the future, 17 is really near
