lately

Lately Everybody in my life has been changing Am I the only one that's still star gazing Is this what it means to grow up Lately Everybody has a job in the city They're working nine to five and dinner's eight thirty But I'm still around with my folks I grew up believing that practice makes perfect My mama she told me that one day you'll see it These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams So maybe it's time for me Lately I'm feeling kinda sick of having no money It's hard to pay the bills when nobody's paying you For your dedication to your art Lately I saw another friend make it to the big leagues I gotta say I wasn't happy for him at all Someone who's never worked half as hard as me Cuz I grew up believing that talent was only half of it My mama she told me to work hard and you'll make it These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams So maybe it's time for me Guess I'll never have it all Cuz I grew up believing that dreams become reality My mama she told me to make my dreams come true But these days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams So maybe it's time for me
