[Logic - Growing Pains lyrics]
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
See, I was born into a world
Of food stamps and welfare
No dollar for the ice cream
Man and nappy hair raised by a single mom
But in the back of my mind
I thought I gotta have my pops, no cereal
Never had a lot
But now I got plenty material
No longer do I wish for money
'Cause being broke made me
Stronger, harder, faster, better
So now I alphabetically murder every letter
Uh feel the conviction in my words
Like a jail sentence
Murder in the first, do a verse
Won't be no repentance
Mama, I'm sorry that I left at seventeen
But I had to chase my dream
And get this mafuckin' cream
Only people that I got is the
People that's on my team
'Cause when I roll up on the scene
I see everyone start to scheme
Talk about they connections
Talk about who they know
Then they beggin' me for a feature
But I'm like "Hold up, yo
If you know who you know why
The fuck you ain't blow?" matter fact
You ain't fuck with me this
Time last year though i was kicking rhymes
But you ain't paid no mind at the soul
And now you on my dick riding
Like the baddest of hoes
You think it's easy but it's not
See the talent that I got?
Determination keep it fresh
If I don't shine then it's gon' rot
'Cause it don't happen overnight
One hit wonders don't keep the spot
And I plan to hold the torch until
I pass it and get shot, what
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
See, this is dedication
Running up on radio stations
They would decline and in my
Mind, they was just hatin', hehe
Testing my patience they got
Me pissed like probation
But I had the mind to keep goin'
And the heart to keep racing
And as the world crumbled beneath
My feet like a Haitian
I was inspired by them
To persevere through dedication
Failure I'm never facin'
My lyrics is education
So if you got the tape crank
That shit like Jason Statham
Yeah, this is my story word
By word as I'm emergin'
Just relax and let me open
Your mind like brain surgeon, uh
Uhh, fresh in the game they should
Sign me to the Virgin
But me and solo know that I
Would only get to splurgin'
I see the road to success and
Now it's time to merge in
Don't forget us when you gone
What my homies urging
Don't forget us when you gone, uhh I gotcha
You see these Seinfeld rappers talking
A whole lot of nothing so allow me to curb
Your enthusiasm or something
This is kinda like MJ before
His prime when he dunking
'Cause I ain't 23 yet, but when
I'm there it'll be something, ha
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
Growin' up, there was baby mama drama
Everyday and every way
But not my kids I ain't got none to this day
'Cause a rubber ‘round my Jimmy
When I consider foreplay hey, ha
Back in the day West Deer Park where we stay
I was running around while
Mama was drinking everyday but it's okay
I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause it developed me into the young
Man that you see today
Through dedication, yeah, yeah
Never follow traditions, you see
I had a different vision
I would skip school and write
Compositions 'bout my home conditions
You know the usual no
Money and family division
In specific I remember this
Time in my kitchen with my sister's man back
Before he went to prison
And got into religion
He showed me how to cook crack
At 12 and I ain't kiddin'
After releasing him with ba
He no longer living
And I'm pretty sure his last
Breath was "Lord forgive him"
Now my nephew ain't got a
Father that'll keep him safe
All I can hope is he a
Good boy for his mama's sake
'Cause she never did recover
From his father's fate
And if he grew into a man
That made the same mistake
Well to be honest
I don't know how much more she could take
So to every baby mama that could truly relate
It is you unto this song
That I shall dedicate, yeah
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs
Helped me write this song, now
See, I was born into a world
Of food stamps and welfare
No dollar for the ice cream
