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