Gettin' Grown

Well, well

Hey, little boy you're not allowed to stay

You have to evolve inevitably

And I've sure come a long way

Hey, the road up ahead is so unclear

Back slidin' down a bottle of beer

Nobody knew if I would make it here

And hey, sweet music set me free

From the statistic that I started to be

I wish my mama was alive to see

Mmm, the memories of the pain have scarred

And when I fall, it's usually hard

But I get up and keep followin' God

Hey, I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown, hey

Now I remember the good ol' days

Broads and boxes of blunts to blaze

But now, I got three children to raise

I-I-I never won't be perfect, I know

But workin' on it is worth it, I know

Life is just learning as you go

Mmm, been selfish once or twice

I had to learn how to sacrifice

To live to my late nineties'd be nice

Ooh, mmm, every day that goes by is divine

Resentment just robs you blind

God, I owe You this life of mine

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

Ooh, time's changed, but it feels the same

There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring

Even if I could, I wouldn't change a thang

And hey, hey, Lord, I know I'm not here to stay

But thanks for wakin' me up today

Prepare me for what may come my way

And hey, say, young man, there's no need to cry

Because I know you will get by

Look your destiny in the eye

Ooh, everyday, my heart burns to try

You got to walk before you learn to fly

And we all got to earn to die

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown, (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
