Watsky - Letter to My 16-Year-Old Self lyrics

[Watsky - Letter to My 16-Year-Old Self lyrics]

Sup, bitch! Na, I'm just messin' with ya
What I meant to say was, "Never give up!
Always be yourself"
It's gonna suck hearing that over and
Over as you get older
But as stereotypes start with
A grain of truth
Cliches begin with a boulder
And no matter what you're an animal
A born natural so you don't need some
Motivational speaker asshole
Feeding you reheated inspirational
Corn casserole you magical bastard!
Get it through your brain
Inject it in your vein
Get infected with the strain
The strange idea you're a reflection of
The greats who came before more than science
Our body's our history's oldest appliance
We're piggyback riding the
Shoulders of giants


Which is how we survive when
The ceilings keep getting higher
And the light bulbs keep burning out
We learn by word of mouth
And when your time has passed
Don't drag each other down
Cause being a crab in a bucket is mad lonely
Be the crab escaping from crab prison
Who creates a crab rope out the
Window made only of crab homies
Cause we're in this together
Future you is just past
You with new molecules
We shoot the old ones out follicles
And hair is dead cells
So our faults get shed well
Meaning our parts that are hard to adore
Get mopped up on the barber shop floor
In other words although you often don't
Remember people's names
Or are at the center of attention
At all the wrong times and spend, roughly
Six hours a night on your side
Watching Boy Meets World reruns
You are capable of outgrowing that bullshit
I'm aware there is doubt
I don't believe in hell
But I believe in my parents' couch
You're gonna get depressed sometimes
You're gonna have weeks where you
Don't feel like eating
Where gravity is working overtime like it's
Afraid of getting laid off
And you can barely lift your
Fork to your mouth
And you are going to have a choice
Do you wanna see this world as ugly
Or beautiful? Wanna know what I think?
Well go fuck yourself! This is my poem
And I think the universe is great
It's like God just chucked a
Bunch of candy into space
And Earth is a jawbreaker
So it doesn't matter if you've
Got the biggest mouth
You can't just chew the world
Up and spit it out you've gotta savor it
From the grandest to the
Blandest nook and cranny
Every crooked alley, every mountain, brook
And valley from Candyland to Cali
That's been stamped by Rand McNally
Ordinary is outstanding!
So don't be impressed by mere miracles
And FYI, looking like a crusty hippy
Doesn't make you spiritual
You're gonna have to climb through
A thorny mess of
Contradictions, underground rivers
And sometimes what you love the most will
Cause your biggest problem
Because you know what's awesome? World peace
And you know what else is awesome? Catapults
And that's just the goddamn truth
This world is so confusing
But, you're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
