Lyrics

Boy of all your life

Reflecting on the entirety of your life

You’ve never stop

Continuously moving forward without a break

Jugglin’ and waitin

Juggling various responsibilities and waiting for something

I’m like everyone

Identifying with the common human experience

I use patience

Utilizing patience as a coping mechanism

To stay fine and sane

Maintaining mental well-being and stability

Times move as you prepare

Time progressing as one prepares for life

Now it’s too late you’re going nowhere

Realizing that it's too late to make progress

Can’t leave

Feeling unable to leave a situation

Can’t release

Unable to let go or set free

Now what would you do

Questioning the next steps in life

What should I say

Contemplating the appropriate words to express

What can we leave behind

Considering what can be left behind in life

And boy maybe you’ll wait

Suggesting the possibility of waiting

Maybe you’re gone

Exploring the uncertainty of someone's departure

Maybe I won’t be here no more

Contemplating the speaker's absence

Who knows

Expressing uncertainty about the future

Who knows

Reiterating uncertainty about the future

Well don’t ask me, boy

Declining to provide answers or guidance

Boy from time to time

Throughout different periods in life

You’ve tried so hard

Putting significant effort into self-acceptance

Not to hate yourself

Avoiding self-hatred for perceived shortcomings

For what I am not

Acknowledging the disparity between perception and reality

Cause I am not what you think I am

Clarifying that the speaker is not what others believe

Now what would you do

Repeating the question about the next steps

What should I say

Reiterating the search for appropriate words

What can we leave behind

Considering the legacy or impact left behind

And boy maybe you’ll wait

Suggesting the possibility of waiting for someone

Maybe you’re gone

Acknowledging the uncertainty of someone's departure

Maybe I won’t be here no more

Contemplating the speaker's potential absence

Who knows

Expressing uncertainty about the future

Who knows

Reiterating uncertainty about the future

Well don’t ask me, boy

Declining to provide answers or guidance

No don’t ask me, boy

Repeating the refusal to answer

Don’t ask me, no

Emphasizing the refusal to answer

Boy from time to time

Throughout different periods in life

You’ve tried so hard

Putting significant effort into self-acceptance

Not to hate yourself

Avoiding self-hatred for perceived shortcomings
