Some People's Kids
Generational Echoes: Some People's Kids by Karac Hendriks
Lyrics
Some people’s kids are born and raised
Refers to individuals whose children inherit and continue the rebellious behavior of their youth.
By the kids who kicked up dust back in the day
Children raised by those who caused trouble in the past.
Some people’s kids stay out too late
Some young people stay out late due to an inherent rebellious nature.
Something in their blood makes 'em go against the grain
Suggests a natural inclination to go against societal norms or expectations.
Well some things never change
Highlighting the persistence of certain characteristics over time.
We made a lot of noise and I know Momma tried her best
Recalling a noisy past and acknowledging the effort of a caring mother.
We had some good excuses and she never was impressed
Despite providing excuses, the mother remains unimpressed.
It's a never-ending story when you grow up in this town
Describes the ongoing challenges of growing up in a particular town.
Some people’s kids have kids and it all comes back around
People's children eventually have their own children, creating a cycle.
Some people’s kids have got a lot to prove
Some individuals feel compelled to prove themselves to others.
Trouble's gonna find 'em when there's better things to do
Suggests that trouble finds those who have better options but still engage in misbehavior.
Yeah it’s true: they just gotta move
Acknowledging the inevitability of change and the need to move forward.
We got stuck out in the mud and put those four wheels to the test
Recalls a challenging experience involving off-road driving.
Daddy got his grey hair fixing all the cars I wrecked
Father dealing with the consequences of his child's actions.
It's a never-ending story when you grow up in this town
Reiterates the ongoing challenges of growing up in a particular town.
Some people’s kids have kids and it all comes back around
Continuation of the theme where individuals become parents, repeating the cycle.
When your rebel years are faded, and wild oats are sown
Describes a phase when rebellious behavior fades, and individuals settle down.
And you decide it's time to start a family of your own
Decision to start a family signals a new chapter, though challenges persist.
It’s gonna be the same old story, maybe in a different town
Anticipates that the experiences will be similar despite a change in location.
'cause when kids have kids it'll all come back around
Emphasizes the cyclical nature when the next generation becomes parents.
Yeah, go on, live it up, and you’ll never live it down
Encourages living life fully but warns that actions may have consequences.
Some people’s kids have kids and it all comes back around
Reiteration of the idea that some individuals' children will become parents.
Some people’s kids have kids and it all comes back around
Final repetition emphasizing the cyclic nature of the described experiences.
