Growing Up
Sometimes I don't wanna grow up
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
Sometimes I don't wanna grow up
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
I really hate the way I feel now
Maybe I need to take some time from this to heal now
I look around and everybody's in a rush
Maybe we're scared of all our worries catching up
And ever since I made it home now
I hate that it feels like everyone is grown now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I'm just tryna stay true
To the feelings I've been feeling now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I hate that we're all growing up
And everyone is falling out
We used to ball on the alley hoop
Kev would throw me up an alley oop
Around the world drawing circles on the side walk
But nowadays me all them boys barely talk
It ain't the same growing up people change
And that's okay, but I can't really help the way
That I'm always thinking back
Reminiscing makes me sad
I know I'm only 23
But one day I'll be a dad raising kids
The way we played when we were kids
I hope that I can share these memories with them
Look at these kids I see something deep within
And they got magic in em that's what we protect
I want to help them see the person that I am
And all the things that I'll do for you
But everyday I still wanna be a kid
And only dream of this like I used to uh
Sometimes I don't wanna grow up
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
I really hate the way I feel now
Maybe I need to take some time from this to heal now
I look around and everybody's in a rush
Maybe we're scared of all our worries catching up
And ever since I made it home now
I hate that it feels like everyone is grown now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I'm just tryna stay true
To the feelings I've been feeling now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I hate that we're all growing up
And everyone is falling out
We would run around the neighborhood
Stay up all night after dark
Calling the cops on us the neighbors would
And all those memories I made with y'all they stay iconic
Y'all still remember when we took that good ol' trip to sonic
Or when all 6 of us slept on the same mattress
Same night Cam kicked those girls out had us all laughing
I miss the days we would sleep until 12
Then we'd go and meet up in the lunch room and raise hell
We skipped class
Some teachers hated us bad
Others saw potential because we weren't the same as the book smart kids
We were the ones who took a chance with the world
And saw this whole thing with a way different perspective
Now I hate how I don't see em much
I've been all around the world but I feel like I ain't seen that much
Me and all y'all need to keep in touch
Because if we lose connection there ain't nothing left to keep us up
Sometimes I don't wanna grow up
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
I really hate the way I feel now
Maybe I need to take some time from this to heal now
I look around and everybody's in a rush
Maybe we're scared of all our worries catching up
And ever since I made it home now
I hate that it feels like everyone is grown now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I'm just tryna stay true
To the feelings I've been feeling now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I hate that we're all growing up
And everyone is falling out
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
Sometimes I don't wanna grow up
Cause getting older everything kinda sucks
I really hate the way I feel now
Maybe I need to take some time from this to heal now
I look around and everybody's in a rush
Maybe we're scared of all our worries catching up
And ever since I made it home now
I hate that it feels like everyone is grown now
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me out
I'm just tryna stay true
To the feelings I've been feeling now
Can anybody hear me
