Swift Child
EJM: Portrait of a Swift Child
Lyrics
I make the beats
I am the creator of the musical beats.
I would wake up in the morning thinking what I'm gonna do
I wake up each morning contemplating my activities for the day.
Should I play Xbox or PlayStation man I really have no clue
Choosing between playing Xbox or PlayStation, unsure of my preference.
I even had a pinball machine and a hockey table
I had a pinball machine and a hockey table in my possession.
My condition in the morning was perfectly stable
My morning condition was stable.
But at night ya boi would be critically wild
At night, I exhibited wild behavior.
He was a charm but the EJM was a swift child
Despite being charming, I, Elijah Marrow (EJM), was a swift child.
You know I was born crazy but loyal
I was born crazy but loyal.
Smoother than butter but slick like baby oil
Describing my personality as smooth like butter but slick like baby oil.
E L I J A H M A double R O W
Spelling out my name, Elijah Marrow, with emphasis.
That's my name how many times I have to tell you
Reiterating my name multiple times.
I was a young buck that didn't know better
Reflecting on my younger, less knowledgeable self.
When I was young I wanted to write a letter
Expressing a desire to write a letter when I was young.
To some of the famous people around the world
Aspiring to connect with famous people worldwide.
I also couldn't wait for a kiss from a girl
Anticipating a kiss from a girl.
Switching the channel from PBS to Nickelodeon
Switching TV channels from PBS to Nickelodeon.
Running around the house having fun
Recalling joyful moments of running around the house.
