Teen Scene - Buddy, Modestep

I grew up in housing tracks

Felt like summer when all the kids were out

Not old enough to light up yet

Still did behind the house

Bel Air felt too far away

The opposite too close

You’d lie to your parents to come and see me

And say you love me

So I’m the one who you would lie to most

You are backwards

You’d act like it’s for me, mmm

So I left you in the teen scene

I did that for you

But I’m still backward

Soon again, I’m deep up in your waters

Livin' life just like you taught it

Tables turned, you got my plate

At least I didn’t save that shit in vain

Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm

Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

Lil' ghetto nigga plottin' on some better livin'

Big money, told my mama I ain’t settlin'

Plot thickens every time I get, get it

Gotta keep shit flippin' 'til the clock quit tickin'

I get incentives for sinny, sin, sinnin'

The devil is a lie, Father God is forgivin'

Baby on my mind, but I’m always on a mission

Tryna get another six figures

Girl, you know you love me, just admit it

Yeah, I love you too, but I be trippin'

Had a little trouble with committin'

I was raised different, places I’ve been, they won’t visit

Things we did, I won’t mention

Things you said, I won’t forget it, I don’t regret it

Forever indebted, we got here together

Whole other level

Now we just get better and better

When I’m in the city, they call me a legend, yeah

Used to hang behind the tracks

Adding to graffiti on the walls

Drank with you despite the taste

Now for everything, I turn to alcohol

Oh, mother said, «It's puppy love

And soon he’ll be a dog»

You’d lie to your parents to come and see me

And say you love me

So you’re the one you lied to all along

You are backwards

You act like it’s for me, mmm

So I left you in the teen scene

I did that for you

But I’m still backward

Soon again, I’m deep up in your waters

Livin' life just like you taught it

Tables turned, you got my plate

At least I didn’t save that shit in vain

Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm

Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

I should’ve never lied (That's my bad, that’s my bad, my bad)

I should’ve told the truth (That's my bad, that’s my bad, my bad, my bad)

We can do it 'til we get it right (That's my bad)

It’s all for you
