Growing Pains

Growing today
Means hurting your pride
Open your eyes
Growing tomorrow
Leaves time up for sorrow
Learn from your mistakes

Like back in 7th grade
Put myself on the shelf
I would sit by myself
Even when I was surrounded by people I called friends
They were good, but I didn't really know 'em
Never even really what I could do, felt I had to hide what I was goin' through
Woulda cared if they knew, but they didn't, oh well
Bury shit deep like I did so well

Used to creep downstairs to stay all night talkin' on my stolen phone
Instead of hang, I sat down first
No wonder I felt so alone
Stealin' from my mama's purse
Healin' from that trauma hurt
Yeah, that's generational
Hurtin' self sensational

Growing today
Means hurting your pride
Open your eyes
Growing tomorrow
Leaves time up for sorrow
Learn from your mistakes

Like back in 9th grade
Tryna put myself out there, but not in the right way
On a awkward date
Thought it went well, but she can't relate
Sittin' in a field
For me, surreal
For her just a thing to get past and forget the next week, but oh well
That's how it is when you don't know how to act
That's how it is when you behind on your crap

Growing today
Means hurting your pride
Open your eyes
Growing tomorrow
Leaves time up for sorrow
Learn from your mistakes
