Abhi The Nomad Manchild Lyrics
Manchild by Abhi The Nomad
[Verse 1]
Ever since day one, knew I had to grow up
Couldn't always watch animated cartoon shows close up
Parents got me glasses, appearance was a drag and
Apparantly they caught me chewing cellotape in class, so
Never had that rational shit
Fuck the gym, I'll always be the fucking last one to pick
What the actual fuck, always silent for the prayer
Trying to be Frankie Muniz, 'cause my life is unfair
Daddy never warned me, used to hold me
Used to scold me, I was way too different
I would never fit in
Friends or fakes
A bunch of different shapes
Stay so different
Worked and picked my poison
Reached for perks and cash, some John Mccloy shit
Heard money ain't a thing, I hid my toys
Never once understood what being a boy is
I don't know still
[Pre-Chorus]
They said no one can be you, just be you
I'm used to being no one, I'm see-through, I'm see-through
Well, well, now I'm someone, oh, nice to finally meet you
I see, they said the whole world need me
Know they never said it'd be easy
[Chorus]
I could've been a man (could've been a man)
What the fuck was you thinking, man?
You could've been a man (Could've been a man)
Uh-uh, you was a boy back then, but you could've been a man (man)
Yeah, c'mon, man
[Verse 2]
T-t-they should bring the muppets back
Try to develop my adolescence, enough of that
Suffering succotash, painted some purple grass
Instead of that boring green, born brilliant
They put me in silly quarantine
That's exactly how this last year passed by
Miley Cyrus with this uphill battle, my
Imaginary ship crashed and capsized
Now I'm in a sea with a goddamn paddle
Daddy never warned me, used to hold me
Used to scold me, I was way too different
I would never fit in
Friends or fakes
A bunch of different shapes
Stay so different
Worked and picked my poison
Reached for perks and cash, some John Mccloy shit
Heard money ain't a thing, I hit my toys
Never once understood what being a boy is
I don't know still
[Pre-Chorus]
They said no one can be you, just be you
I'm used to being no one, I'm see-through, I'm see-through
Well, well, now I'm someone, oh, nice to finally meet you
I see, they said the whole world need me
Know they never said it'd be easy
[Chorus]
I could've been a man (could've been a man)
What the fuck was you thinking, man?
You could've been a man (Could've been a man)
Uh-uh, you was a boy back then, but you could've been a man (man)
Yeah, c'mon, man
[Outro]
Na na na na na
Ever since day one, knew I had to grow up
