Grown Up
Looking back, life was so simple
Took a, different path, things niggas was into
Had to, numb the pain, everybody around me hurting
Play the game, until it's closed curtains
I finally found my voice now
I hope it reach out to your town
So follow me, many ups, downs
Whether right or wrong I've grown up, wow
Thinking bout my childhood innocence, no care in the world
Except for getting good grades as I stared at them girls
I was shy, and couldn't help it, didn't know what to say
As I feared getting rejected, they might turn me away
Some of the ones who tried to play me looking crazy with a baby nigga
It's either that or they weighing like 580
They bodies could fill a stadium, that's big as hell
Some of 'em ended up being hoes, no kiss and tell
I had fun in the band at Varina, that was the gang
I played drums, we would cypher together, you couldn't hang
Sat in most of my classes writing lines in my book of rhymes
Patience was the key, I started growing but it took some time
Used to drink that Wild Irish, I was stealing wine
Scraped the barcode at Food Lion then I'd get in line
A far cry from innocence, won't the same me
An appetite for destruction, the world changed me, it's crazy
Looking back, life was so simple
Took a, different path, things niggas was into
Had to, numb the pain, everybody around me hurting
Play the game, until it's closed curtains
I finally found my voice now
I hope it reach out to your town
So follow me, many ups, downs
Whether right or wrong I've grown up, wow
I remember my mom finding my weed
It wasn't worth getting in trouble, lotta stems lotta seeds
I even tried growing it inside of my closet
But didn't know what I was doing, couldn't make me a profit
And then, shortly after that, I think I smoked me a bad batch
Yelling loud, tweaking, certain triggers gave me flashbacks
I couldn't tell nobody, they would think I'm crazy
A heavy load to carry alone, that shit amazed me
How I aint lose it, thanking God for music
Life became confusing, reality, illusion
Red or blue pill, I thought I had time to make my mind up
Really indecisive, had to grow and step the grind up
All the shit I've been through been leading up to this point
Feeling quite nostalgic, I'm really loving this joint
Time flies by, history becomes a blur
Unless you've got someone to tell it, that is me through these words, all I got
Took a, different path, things niggas was into
Had to, numb the pain, everybody around me hurting
Play the game, until it's closed curtains
I finally found my voice now
I hope it reach out to your town
So follow me, many ups, downs
Whether right or wrong I've grown up, wow
Thinking bout my childhood innocence, no care in the world
Except for getting good grades as I stared at them girls
I was shy, and couldn't help it, didn't know what to say
