A little boy, you're not allowed to stay You have to evolve inevitably And I've sure come a long way The road up ahead was so unclear Back sliding down the bottom of the bear Nobody knew if I would make it here Sweet music set me free From the statistic that I started to be I wish my mama was alive to see The memories of the pain I scarred And when I fall, it's usually hard But I get up and keep following God I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I And I remember the good old days Bralls and boxes of blunts to blaze But I got three children to raise I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Never gonna be perfect I know But working on it is worth that I know Life is just learning as you go Mmm, been selfish once or twice I had to learn how to sacrifice To live till my late nineties be nice Mmm, every day that goes by is divine Resentment doesn't rob you blind God, I owe you this life of mine I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la Mmm, time's changed but it feels the same There's no telling what tomorrow will bring But even if I could, I wouldn't change a thing And hey, Lord, I know I'm not here to stay But thanks for waking me up today I'm happy for what may come my way And hey, it's a young man that don't need to cry Cause I know we will get by Look your destiny in the eye And ooh, every day my heart burns dry You gotta walk before you learn to fly Cause we all gotta earn to die I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la La, la, la, la, la la I'm getting grown La, la, la, la, la la
