Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm feelin' the cold,
Time slipping fast, can't get a hold,
Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Lookin' back, at the stories untold.
Feelin' the weight of the days I've sold,
...Goddam I'm old...
Used to be young, thought I had it all planned,
But now I'm feelin' like I'm caught in quicksand.
Didn't notice the years, they just passed me by,
Now I'm asking questions like, "Who am I?"
Back then, no screen, no Wi-Fi buzz,
Life was analog, now it's all just fuzz.
Saw the world through the lens of a different time,
Now it's all digital, words in every rhyme.
I grew up in a world that was real, no delay,
Now I scroll through the feed and I'm swept away.
Parents talked politics, didn't get the vibe,
Now I'm deep in the game, tryin' to survive.
I care 'bout the media, how they shape our thoughts,
A millennial, caught between two worlds, lost.
SciFi was on TV, now it's in my hand,
Tech is changin' and in command.
Suddenly old, it crept up slow,
I'm lookin' back, but where'd it go?
Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm feelin' the cold,
Time slipping fast, can't get a hold,
Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Lookin' back, at the stories untold.
Feelin' the weight of the days I've sold,
...Goddam I'm old...
No more mixtapes, now it's playlists and streams,
Back then we dreamed big, now it's all memes.
Social media buzzin', but it feels so fake,
I'm questioning the world, what's real, what's at stake?
The future's uncertain, but it's all I can see,
Worried 'bout savings, worried 'bout me.
I'm not that young man, not that fool anymore,
The worries are bigger, can't ignore the score.
I miss the simplicity, the life before,
But I love what I got, don't want no more war.
Now I see politics, they pull at my strings,
Wondering if this was what the future brings.
The past was tough, but it had its place,
Now I'm stuck in the race, tryin' to keep pace.
Suddenly old, it hit me like a wave,
Don't know how to fight, but I'll still be brave.
Goddam I'm old,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm feelin' the cold,
Time slipping fast, can't get a hold,
Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Lookin' back, at the stories untold.
Feelin' the weight of the days I've sold,
...Oh man, I turned old.
I remember running, now I'm outta breath,
Chasin' the time, tryin' to outrun what's left.
I'm not done yet, got plenty to say,
But the time keeps tickin' in the strangest way.
I'll take the good, I'll take the bad,
And yet worried 'bout things I never had.
Still fightin', still climbin' that hill,
Time don't stop, but I'm here, still real.
Oh, goddam I'm old,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm feelin' the cold,
Time slipping fast, can't get a hold,
Oh, I'm suddenly old,
Lookin' back, at the stories untold.
Feelin' the weight of the days I've sold,
...Goddam I'm old...
"Fuck, I'm old!"... can't deny the truth,
The body's strong but weak, feel it in the grooves.
Recovery's a bitch, but I'll make my stand,
Still can't touch my toes, but I'll give it a hand.
More Salt than pepper in ma' beard,
but pickin' up pace,
Ain't slowing down now...
No time to waste!
