Grow Up

I Had to grow up
And I ain't wanna grow up
Tried to act my age
But life said to act older
All I had was me
I Couldn't burden my friends
But it made me who I am
So let the story begin

I Had to grow up
And I ain't wanna grow up
Tried to act my age
But life said to act older
All I had was me
I Couldn't burden my friends
But it made me who I am
Now let the story begin

I don't really ask for no help Cause I always get reminded and disappointed
I rather just do bad by myself and
I know they shocked by every mountain I done overcame
And I embrace my every fall its time that I reclaim
My time is precious
Every broken heart it had its lesson
Every loss I took I got my blessing
And I always got a plan in mind I need succession
Let me think real quick I need a second
Yo
You see this rap shit is my life But you don't fucking get it
I manifested every single place I'm fucking headed
And I been down bad down sad down lost hurting
And all it ever did was clear my focus
I got a couple clown friends that wanna see me broken
I got a couple down friends that's gon share this moment
See I been
Down before but never quite like this
Losing track of every time I had a night like this
Ain't no such thing as ya mental health
Cause where I'm from you better hide it
And disguise it while you fend for yourself
Really
I say I'm rich and I ain't seen a milli
I'm rich in life and in the people I got rocking wit me
Ain't no plan b for this shit
Guarantees in this shit
I lay out my every dolla invest in me for this shit you feel me
To show my idols whats instilled within me
I put in work this ain't no time for wishing
I think its time you listen

I Had to grow up
And I ain't wanna grow up
Tried to act my age
But life said to act older
All I had was me
I Couldn't burden my friends
But it made me who I am
So let the story begin

I Had to grow up

Look
Didn't think that I'd ever discuss this memory
But I'd be lying if I said it that doesn't still visit me
Consistently
Showing up in places it ain't meant to be
I tried to erase it but I couldn't, need you to listen p
I remember I was 20 years old
That summer was cold and I remember that cause I froze
I looked at my phone
And saw I missed a call from my home
My momma left me a voicemail that hit me right in the dome
She said
Son
I was at the station
I had to do a statement
I Got this piece a paper cause your dad needed restraining
And after that I couldn't understand what she was saying
No g
You could see that my world was shakin'
After that first week I ain't know where to begin
I Couldn't focus on my dreams until the nightmare would end
I tried to hustle up some money everywhere that I went it was evident
I never had a bill cause Ion know my presidents
I never been in a Situation so unsettling
But never let situations take you out your element
See that year
I learned to be the man of the house
In more ways than you'd expect I had to figure it out
So
The moral of my story is a perfect life is boring
Please don't let them dim yo shine
Let yo shine be reoccurring
I'll end this with a quote that is nothing but true
Tough times don't last but tough people do.

I Had to grow up
