Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
Young, young dumb and broke

Y'all in high school, please enjoy it while you can. I am literally a freshman in college and jfc I wish I had taken my sweet time in high school instead of trying to just breeze through it. Having to do adult shit sucks. Even if your parents are screwed up, find good honest friends and really just remember to enjoy life. It isn't really living if you're just trying to survive until graduation. And believe me, the adult world is much scarier than high school. Don't rush to grow up. Please. Live a little before you graduate, alright?
