I Ain't Ready for It
Resisting Adulthood: Youth Killed It's Anthem
Lyrics
They think it's time I should be growing up,
Pressure from others to mature and act more responsible
They say it's time I should be finding love,
Expectations to seek and find romantic love
They say its time I stop not doing much,
Encouragement to cease being idle or inactive
They say this time that they've had enough.
Implying others have reached a limit of tolerance
And I can't deal with growing up,
Inability to cope with the responsibilities of adulthood
Cause I ain't ready for it,
Expressing unpreparedness for the demands of growing up
And I can't deal with washing up,
Difficulty handling household chores
Cause I ain't ready for it,
Not ready to face success or progress
And I can't deal with coming up,
Struggling with the idea of achieving success or recognition
Cause I ain't ready for it,
Feeling unprepared for advancing in life
And I can't deal with bills and such,
Challenges with managing financial responsibilities
Cause I ain't ready for it.
Expressing unreadiness for dealing with bills and adult obligations
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, life'll kick you in the face man,
Life's challenges can be harsh and unexpected
Falling through holes like Michael Jordan's Space Jam,
Experiencing setbacks akin to a renowned athlete's failures
You're young and you ain't got no money, no money.
Highlighting the lack of financial resources
When you gonna quit the smoking?
Questions about quitting harmful habits
When you gonna quit the drinking?
Similar inquiry about stopping excessive drinking
When you gonna stop the joking?
When will the habit of joking or avoiding serious matters end?
You're a captain of a ship that's sinking,
Metaphorically compared to steering a sinking ship
And I ain't ready for it
Reiteration of being unprepared for the challenges of adulthood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Cause I ain't ready for it.
Reiterating the unpreparedness for the demands of adulthood
