WASHED
Dumbfoundead Lyrics

I put, them on, the wave
I was at the height of my game and created a buzz around people.

But today I'm feelin' washed
However, I'm now feeling washed out and have fallen behind in the game.

And off, my game
My performance is not up to the mark like it used to be.

Today, I feel, my age
I feel old, and it's finally catching up with me.

I feel so ancient
I am feeling extremely old, as if my youth has gone entirely.

They say Asian don't raisin
While typically Asians don't age as fast, my time is up.

Went from young and the dangerous
I was once young, free-spirited and adventurous.

To making all of my payments
But now, I'm caught up in adulting and paying all my bills.

When I get wasted as shit
Whenever I get drunk, my body cannot handle it anymore.

It take two days to get fixed
It now takes me two days to recover from a drunken night instead of just one.

They ask me whats your skin regiment
People ask me about my skincare routine, but they don't realize it's because I drink excessively.

I done did everything, anything all in my teens
I lived my youth to the fullest and did everything that came my way.

Uppers and downers, and all in between
I experimented with different drugs and substances, and I experienced some highs and some low points.

Gave lovers the boot
I ended relationships where needed to find what I truly wanted.

And given them rings
I also committed myself to some relationships thought they weren't always the right ones to be in.

From baggy to skinny
I've had different styles and senses of fashion throughout my life.

With all of my jeans
I had different sizes and styles of jeans throughout my life.

15 seconds of shine
I had a moment of fame that only lasted briefly.

Turn into six seconds on the vine
And now, those moments only last a few seconds on social media before they're forgotten.

Now its real fake in real time
Nowadays, people can fake a lot of things convincingly online.

Acting hella extra on their live (stupid!)
People now act foolishly extra and over dramatic on social media to gain attention.

Little homie flexin' that's cute
Youngsters trying to show off is amusing to see and cute.

They see my mural, like That's you!
People recognize me by my street art mural that has been created somewhere.

Old man but everything brand new
I may be old, but I still have something new to bring to the table.

Better cuff yo girl I still pull
I still got the moves to charm and impress girls, so be careful.

I mind my business, y'all start wars
People need to learn to mind their own business instead of causing wars.

I'm Michael Jackson eatin' popcorn
I'm just enjoying the show with the same interest as Michael Jackson enjoyed popcorn while watching a show.

But keep testin' and talk more
But people who keep testing me and not behaving wisely might push me to my limits.

I'll send that ass to the chalkboard
And I will remind them of their place and put them back in the chalkboard where they belong.

Never played it S-A-F-E
I never played it safe in the game of life.

And I never let it stress me
I never let it stress me out, and I continue to take risks as before.

Shoot my shot like Smith and Wesson
I still shoot my shot and take my chances despite any consequences.

Up until they come arrest me
I will continue doing what I want to do and will face the consequences when the law comes my way.

They keeping up the pace
Everyone is trying to keep up with the fast pace of life.

But nothing stays the same
Everything changes and nothing stays constant in this world.

Yesterday I rage, but today I feel my age
I used to rage and live the fullest yesterday, but today I feel old like my body can't keep up.

What's my age again, umm
I'm feeling self-conscious and qestioning what's my age, again.

What's your name again, hmm
I might not remember your name as I have aged too much.

Used to open up, now the main event
I was previously an opening act, but now I'm the headliner.

If I could rage again, then I would
If I had a chance, I would go back and reminisce about my days of limitless raging and living my life fully.

Go and peep the ATM, look
Go check out my bank account and take a look.

Yea I feed the fam like I should
I provide for my family correctly and as I should.

I still represent the same hood
Despite my age, I still root for and represent my hometown with conviction and passion.

I'll forever, ever, stay put, KTOWN!
I will stay loyal and stick to my roots at KTOWN forever.

A and r'd the hardest artist
I searched and found the toughest artist to exhibit onstage.

But you'd never know cause I'm modest
I'm modest, and you may not realize that the most challenging artist is being managed by me.

True I never signed on the dotted
I never accepted offers or signed covenants in the industry officially.

But came out the game cum laude
But I came out on top of the game with flying colors.

Dearly departed
I have had to let go of many people in my life that were close to me but are no longer here.

Y'all were like hot for a minute
People were engaged and attentive for some time, but then that fizzled away quickly.

But you wasn't on it
But at that time, you weren't interested in being a part of it all.

Shoulda been honest
It would have been better and respectable to be honest about not being interested.

You were so busy
You were preoccupied with other stuff and busy at the time.

Just lookin' at comments
You were reading online comments which were mostly of no value.

Runnin' through thotties
You were flirting with many girls at once without any aim.

And ran into problems
You may have run into problems later as you couldn't handle them gracefully.

Still don't have a Lambo
I still don't own a Lamborghini and have other priorities in life.

But I'm eatin' well at Nandos
But I'm eating delicious food at Nandos and feeling good instead of having a fancy car.

Walk in clubs with my sandals
I can wear my sandals casually in clubs confidently.

Pull some strings like it's a banjo
I can manipulate and deal things cleverly to get the job done with ease.

I could prolly clear a sample
I'm confident to get permission to use and clear a music sample for my work if needed.

Old enough to be a sample
I'm old enough to be considered a classic and a reference point.

I just want a couple thank you's
All I want is some appreciation for my work and achievements.

And watch them bow down to my ankles
And see them complement me and appreciate me from down below on their knees.

If they forget my name
If people forget my name or who I am.

Wouldn't feel no type of way
It would not affect me or make me feel bad.

Smile upon my face
I will still have a smile on my face no matter what.

But today I feel my age
However, I'm just getting too old to be bothered about such things.

Did what I came to do
I did what I needed to do and set out to achieve in my life.

Got nothing left to prove
I feel complete now and have nothing to prove to anyone anymore.

I'm cashing out my youth
I'm accepting that all good things must come to an end along with my youth.

But today, I feel, my age
Today, my old self is all that is left out of my youth, and it feels like it.
