DFD - Peter Pan Complex [lyrics]

I'm not really into rap or anything so it's kind of hard for me to follow some words (same with metal-style vocals and screamo) but I liked this song so I decided to attempt to transcribe it for the people that wanted lyrics because I couldn't fit the lyrics into a comments field (character limit). Like I said, my ears for rapping are no good so I'm bound to have errors here and there for words/phrases I can't hear or am unfamiliar with. I've put triple question marks within parentheses to denote a word or phrase I'm unsure of.

[Verse 1]
I always had me a good laugh at school //
A class clown with a whole pack of Kools //
What can I say? That's what bad kids do //
A latch-key child that brought rappers through //
Now I'm up in the office, wearing shackles, boo //
At the water cooler, wanting to act a fool //
I don't wanna turn the page to chapter two //
Let's go back to youth 'cause the past was cool //
But I hate to admit that it's over now //
The place is filled with a much older crowd //
Grab a shot of good liquor, put the soda down //
Cats pull out straps, no one throws it down //
I remember rapping, having loads of fun //
All my friends at the project; Blowed was young //
Now most of us only kick flows for fun //
Paying bills became hard to overcome //

[Chorus]
I got a Peter Pan complex
And I don't wanna grow up, grow up, grow up
No, no, no
If I give up my youth now just consider me dead
Me dead, me dead, me dead, yeah, yeah

They tell me I'm immature and I yell at them,
"So what?", "So what?", "So what?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It seems harder to let go the older I get
I get, I get (ha, ha, ha...)

[Verse 2]
I remember being a prodigy //
I'm not special anymore, there's a lot of me's //
Younger cats that are way more promising //
This kind of thing, shouldn't bother me //
But as you grow you start to think //
Like 'Am I too old to follow dreams?' //
Every day I hope that time will freeze //
But the clock ain't broke, it winds with speed //
You think about marriage, diamond rings //
You think about a carriage, a child, his needs //
But I'm busy dreaming the lifestyle of kings //
Falling dollars, colored olive green //
Never really got into the college scene //
A semester turned into an autumn fling //
Most of ya'll are scared to fall it seems //
Go ahead, let out your inner child and scream //

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Wrinkles might form on our physical frame //
But age is a number, my mental remains //
I'm still entertained by the simple and plain //
The summer, the fall, the winter, and spring //
The older I get, the younger I feel //
I still believe in that one-in-a-mil //
Got sand on the beach and a castle to build //
I've seen it myself and monsters are real //

[Clip from 1954 'Peter Pan' musical song "I Won't Grow Up"]
I won't grow up (I won't grow up)
I don't want to go to school (I don't want to go to school)
Just to learn to be a parrot (Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule (And recite a silly rule)

[Fade out with Chorus]

[MV outro: quote of wisdom from DFD clipped from 'Mailing Out Albums' vlog]
This is a message to all you kids out there, man:
Don't do what you don't like doing. Follow your dreams. :-D

[RavenDayrit]

where do i download/buy this?

[sentralorigin]

@RavenDayrit I don't think you can buy it because DFD doesn't have the rights to the music (Lily Allen does). And DFD never provided a download link, I think...

[ingrid17us]

lov the song, I wonder what happen with the video.

[sentralorigin]

@ingrid17us Yea, it's weird. I followed DFD's channel since the beginning and since then there's a lot of videos that became private or deleted. Dunno the reason for why.

[AnitaHardcockII]

This song hits hard.

It makes me both happy and sad..
