Grew Up

Mm, yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, mm, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, mm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah
Yeah, when niggas disappointin, I don't even take it personal
When it's elevated, stay the minor, man, I don't think that it's worth it too
It's hard to get a point across to a nigga that's fraudulent

He got work to do, and on top of that, the niggas around him, they a surface too
Imagine lookin' in the mirror, tellin' yourself you're not good enough
It's a reputation upkeep, it's a whole image that you puttin' up
See the problem with that? Your moves are no longer genuine

Now I'm playin' a part in the movie role you were scripted in
And the difference is, heh, you ain't Spike Lee, no Tarantino
You just a lost soul tryin' to carry people, spare their gear
I know when you're at peace, I know when you're the most confident

Because that's when you're at ease, conflict, there's no time for that
I also know when you're insecure, cause that's when you overcompensate
Start actin' like you ovulating, that's when you start violating
Little shit turns to big shit, cause you pick pride over conversation

You don't even realize all the real time that you probably wasted
I can relate to that, I can relate to that, I can relate to that
But then I grew up, then I grew up
I can relate to that, I can relate to that, I can relate to that

But then I grew up, then I grew up
Yeah, hey yo, how does it fuck with your psyche
Standin' in front of a nigga like me that's starin' straight to your soul
And identifying any problems that might be accurately too

I know that you feel you a leader, but you just befeatin' your ego
You ain't objectin' with none of your people, you just be lyin' and shit
Tryin' to sell a story, wonder why nobody buyin' that shit
And you start treatin' people crazy, talkin' all down and shit

It's a false sense of empowerment, total loss of what a balance is
Integrity is everything and what you got, you can't pay the balance with
No lie, don't try, yeah
Put your pride down and your peace first

And I promise you'll start livin' the life you desire
Both feet in the dirt, heads up, man this journey is a dope ride, I said
I can relate to that, I can relate to that, I can relate to that
But then I grew up, then I grew up

I grew up
I can relate to that, I can relate to that, I can relate to that
But then I grew up, then I grew up
Grew up

Then I grew up
Then I grew up
Then I grew up
