text: Growing Up Lyrics
  They say boys dont cry
  But your dad has shed a lot of tears
  They say I should be a strong man
  But baby, Im still filled with fear
  Sometimes I dont know who I am
  Sometimes I question why Im here
  I just wanna be a good dad
  Will I be? I have no idea
  They say girls shouldnt be tough
  And moms should raise their kids at home
  But baby, I know that that isnt true
  Cause your mommas the toughest person I know
  I wanna raise you to be like her
  And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
  Im still tryna figure out who I am
  I dont wanna mess this up or do this wrong
  Im gonna be there for your first breath
  I dont know if Ill be there for your first step
  I can promise you that Ill try to work less
  But the tours routed, and I got this album
  Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
  To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
  Dont wanna be a dad thats living in FaceTime
  But I got a world to sing to and you at the same time
  I wont spoil you, you can trust that
  For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass
  Had your heart broken? Been there, done that
  I love you and I cant give you enough of that
  Give back to community that raised you up
  Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun
  Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon come
  You put the work in, dont worry about the praise, my love
  Dont try to change the world, find something that you love
  And do it every day
  Do that for the rest of your life
  And eventually, the world will change
  Ill be patient, one more month
  Youll wrap your fingers round my thumb
  Times are changing, I know
  But who am I if Im the person you become
  If Im still growing up, up, up, up
  Im still growing up, up, up, up
  Im still growing up
  I recommend that you read The Alchemist
  Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
  Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence
  And every day, give your momma a compliment
  Take your girl to the prom
  But dont get too drunk hanging out the limo
  Slow dance with your woman in your arms
  Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe
  Dont wake your mom up
  Do yoga, learn bout karma
  Find God, but leave the dogma
  The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless
  Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
  Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac
  Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
  Wear a helmet, dont be stupid
  Jaywalk, but look before you do it
  If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help
  Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, til it melts
  Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
  Youre only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
  Take risks, cause life moves so fast
  Youre only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
  Ill be patient, one more month
  Youll wrap your fingers round my thumb
  Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
  Im the person you become
  If Im still growing up, up, up, up
  Im still growing up, up, up, up
  Ill be patient, one more month
  Youll wrap your fingers round my thumb
  Times are changing, I know
  But who am I if Im the person you become
  If Im still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
  If Im still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
  Im still growing up
  Im still growing up, ooh
  Im still growing up
  Im still growing up63Embed
