Life is like
a rollercoaster
No choice but to ride
Highs and lows
and upside downs
You won't know
'til you try
Better buckle on in
and brace yourself
'til you make it
to the other side
'Cause life is like
a rollercoaster
To my ten-year-old self
Listen kid
I know it's tough being
as weird as you are
Just know those wounds
you're feeling fresh are soon
to heal up and scar
You're just a scrawny little
guy but you gon' fill out
Becoming normal though
I'm not gon' lie
that jury's still out
Losing yourself in your
own world with
no reality involved
The other boys were
kissing girls and playing
ball while you were home
with your books and those
ninja turtles dad got you
from the mall
You feeling lonely huh
Yeah I know I was
there for it all
You got no siblings
but some friends in life
will prove to be exceptions
AG that's your brother
see right now he's just
your best friend
But in twenty something
years you'll be best man
at his wedding
Crazy shit right
This life is always bound
to keep you guessing
But you just heard that
Slim Shady song
Hi my name is
And little do you know
that's the moment
your life changes
But for now enjoy the ride
Buckle up and play it safe
and just know that you
being different's the thing
that'll make you great
Life is like
a rollercoaster
No choice but to ride
Highs and lows
and upside downs
You won't know
'til you try
Better buckle on in
and brace yourself
'til you make it
to the other side
'Cause life is like
a rollercoaster
To my twenty-five-year
old self
Look at you
you made some moves
and now you think
you're the man
but you're distracted
All that talk of how
you'd stick to the plan
was just that all talk
Now the parties
all you care about
If you're so fucking
popping why you living
at your parent's house huh
Having sex all reckless
but here's the lesson
It's projection
for the girls
as a kid that you
weren't getting
Rarely using protection
It's still hard to believe
we made it out disease free
without getting nobody
pregnant
All them drugs you're doing
now will fuck up shit
for me still
My brain never fully
recovered from those
ecstasy pills
But you're so caught up
in the moment
No cares and just
living lovely as your
current manager
is mismanaging
all your money
That should sober you up
And shit it will
but not for long
Which leads to why
I gotta write a third verse
in this fucking song
But for now enjoy the ride
How could you not
You're young and high
This rollercoaster
ain't over so keep your
arms and legs inside
Life is like
a rollercoaster
No choice but to ride
Highs and lows
and upside downs
You won't know
'til you try
Better buckle on in
and brace yourself
'til you make it
to the other side
'Cause life is like
a rollercoaster
To myself now
Look who's all grown up
Took a toll
but you succeeded
Dialed in and set your goals
and now them goals
have been exceeded
Yeah you'll never
get the credit you deserve
but we make peace with that
And grew to find we never
really needed that
And now you got a great girl
a nice house
financially secure
But all you ever do
is stress so goddamn it
whats it for
You're always bored
and barely present
Why the fuck you got
to bring us down
At least our younger self
was fun to fucking
be around
You tell yourself
that's just the price
of this shit
But you been high lately
more than you would
like to admit
Drugged out
half of the time
and you say
that you're doing fine
But this is me you're
talking to and I'm not
buying it Chris
I know you're always
under pressure tryna
hold it all together
But that little kid
from the first verse
deserves better
However the future still
awaits so grab ahold
and get the safety straps
buckled 'cause this coaster
isn't over yet yet
Life is like
a rollercoaster
No choice but to ride
Highs and lows
and upside downs
You won't know
'til you try
Better buckle on in
and brace yourself
'til you make it
to the other side
'Cause life is like
a rollercoaster
