Dj NioS a.k.a. NioSiddharta Lyrics

Mama used to tell me don't you rush to get grown
My mother taught me not to hurry growing up, as it will come naturally

Workin' 9 to 5 and paying bills on yo own
Adult life consists of long work hours and the responsibility of paying bills on one's own

Think you know it all about the world but you don't
Despite feeling knowledgeable about the world, there is still much to learn and discover

Then I left and I realized that she was right all along
After leaving home, I came to recognize that my mother was correct all along

'Cause i been thinking bout the days I used to play with friends
I often reminisce about my carefree days playing with friends

But nowadays ain't nobody round when the favors end
As time progresses, people are less likely to stick around when they are no longer benefiting from the relationship

And nowadays ain't nobody round when you need a favor
Similarly, when one is in need of help, friends may not be there to lend a hand

Went from MySpace Top 10s to complete strangers
Over time, relationships can become distant to the point of being unrecognizable

But really, who could blame us
It is understandable that life gets in the way of maintaining certain relationships

This life shit came at us quick
Adult life can feel overwhelming and come at us faster than we anticipate

You wanna cop them Louboutins but you behind on your rent
It can be tempting to spend money on luxury items while neglecting important financial obligations

You wanna ride around the city, flex and show off your Benz
Similarly, it can be tempting to show off material possessions to others

But they don't know your APR is almost 20%
Others may not be aware of the hidden financial struggles that come with owning such possessions

All they know is that you "got it" and they wish it was them
People often envy others based on surface-level appearances and do not consider the underlying struggles

But all that shit is pretend
Much of what others present to the world is a façade and not a true representation of their life

And all this shit is intense
Adult life can be stressful and intense at times

But I been counting all my blessings
Despite the challenges, it is important to recognize and appreciate the good things in life

Turnin' losses to wins
It is possible to find positivity in difficult situations and turn them into successes

I let go and I let God
Sometimes it is best to surrender control and trust that things will work out as they should

Repeat the process again
This mindset should be applied regularly and consistently

That's what my mama said
The advice and wisdom of one's mother should not be discounted or overlooked
