Ooh, time changed but it feels the same
God I owe You this life of mine
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
And hey say, young man, there's no need to cry
Because I know you will get by
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
Look your destiny in the eye
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
You got to walk before you learn to fly
And when I fall it's usually hard
Ooh everyday my heart burns to try
And I've sure come a long way
Back slidin' down the bottom of beer
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
But thanks for wakin' me up today
And we all got to earn to die
The road up ahead is so unclear
Prepare me for what may come my way
Now I remember the good ol' days
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
The memories of the pain have scarred
To live to my late nineties'd be nice
Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze
Every day that goes by I find
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
I wish my mama was alive to see
Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown hey
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
Hey, I'm gettin' grown, gettin' grown
But I get up and keep followin' God
I-I-I never won't be perfect I know
And hey hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay
But workin' on it is worth it I know
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Nobody knew if I would make it here
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
From the statistic that I started to be
It either hits me or it robs me blind
You have to evolve inevitably
Now I got three children to raise
And hey sweet music set me free
There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring
I had to learn how to sacrifice
Life is just learning as you go
Been selfish once or twice
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
