Grow Up

Ayo
You ever wish you could go back
Be a kid again
You don't realize how quick the time goes
You know

Why can't being grown be like when we were kids
When even big mistakes were easy to forgive
Back when high school seemed like it was decades away
When all the homies were alive nobody in graves
I'm talking back before high speed internet
Tryna be cool puffing candy cigarettes
Getting picked first felt like you just won a Grammy
Sneak a middle finger to the boys who can't stand me
Mama catch me snacking in my room she might kill me
Playing call of duty with the boys I'm on a kill streak
Mama tryna get me out the house get some fresh air
My boys on the stoop like getcha ass out here
Can I go back
To being next up at bat
Tryna hit a home run after practicing all night
Shoulda seen the smile on my face I hit it just right
Whoever would've thought I would miss being ten
And dream to live in 2008 once again
What was I thinking
I wanna grow up
Looking back now I wish time slowed up
I wish that I never once wished That I was grown
Tell me what the hell is the fun in being old
Remember when they said, "This the time of your life?"
Man looking back now, who woulda thought they were right

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby
I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately
They tell you gotta get up and make all the money
You gotta get up and make something

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby
I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately
They tell you gotta get up and make all the money
You gotta get up and make something

Now I'm a teen finally feeling alive
Got acquainted with freedom with my car in drive
A senior in school, who woulda thought
College in another year prom nights almost here
It's getting quite clear what I'm meant to be
Talk about my future with my girl sitting next to me
My folks always on my back about my future
But ima go hard they ain't raise no loser
I miss sneaking beer out my dads mini fridge
Split a cigarette between all my friends
Drive around the city like we run this bitch
Still gotta be home before curfew hits
I really can't believe I used to hate that town
Nowadays I go home and just be looking around
I shoulda Listened when dad told me slow down
You're gonna miss this you just don't know it now

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby
I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately
They tell you gotta get up and make all the money
You gotta get up and make something

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby
I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately
They tell you gotta get up and make all the money
You gotta get up and make something

To all y'all lil muthafuckas, 16, 17 years old
Don't rush your life away
