GROWING PAINS
(T. Chirwa, B Fisseha) (BMI)

If I could take it back I would never grow up
Working late never off life of a grown up
If I could take it back I would never grow up
But the cares of the world turned me to a grown up

I’m watching time go by like a meter man
Wishing I never had to grow up like Peter Pan
Cause now I live the life of a grown up
As a child my heart was open but now it’s all sewed up

The cares of the world robbed me; there’s been a hold up
I used to feel hot without drinking a cold cup
Adult life got me chicken, back then I was a cold cut
When people made fun of me my response was so what

Time to tap into my inner child as a grown up
Plus the flow is dynamite so I’m bound to blow up
But I’m still working, can’t afford not to show up
Remember skipping school pretending I had to throw up

Listen to the hook no hooky flow sick I’m bout to throw up
Like the first time I twisted purple called it fruit roll up
I’ve got a question when it’s time to give my soul up
Dear god, why’d I ever have to grow up?

If I could take it back I would never grow up
Working late never off life of a grown up
If I could take it back I would never grow up
But the cares of the world turned me to a grown up

Cause when you’re young and you have dreams
It seems the world is at your feet
But then you grow
And they say dreams are childish and naive

I’m just spending all my days counting up all the ways
People live their whole lives with hopes that never fade
I’m just sticking to the vision, childlike ambition
Working with the tools I’m given, yea just trying to make a living

So I work day and night looking up to the sky
Hoping that things work out man I’m trying not to cry
Looking hard at my reflection, dreaming like adolescence
Reflecting on whether life will link with my expectations

Spending dollars it’s a gamble
Sometimes too much to handle
But such is life only get one shot
Gonna, gonna give it all I got

You may hate but I’m never gonna stop
Taking this thing straight to the top
Let the album drop
I’m giving it all I’ve got

But no matter how this ends up
If I fail and I mess up
Just know one thing
I’m never gonna grow up

If I could take it back I would never grow up
Working late never off life of a grown up
If I could take it back I would never grow up
But the cares of the world turned me to a grown up
