Bun B, 8Ball, MJG - Grow Up lyrics

Now everybody like to tell you
About how grown they are
How they got they shit together
And how 'on' they are
How they got all their priorities lined up
And focused on the future 'cause
They made they mind up
Well I'm here to tell ya
It's easier said than done
'Bout as easy as tryna take bread from Bun
You can try to make plans but
They hard to stick to not to mention
These haters out here tryna trick you
Soon as you hot, they say, "Freeze" (Freeze)
Soon as you cold, they raise up
The degrees, I'm like please, (Please)
Take a second to think about
It but not too many
Can't get time back, they won't give you any
Look back at all the time you had and I bet
(What?) you gon' look at all the time
You fucked off with regret
All the days you coulda went
From good to great
So while there's still time left it ain't
Too late for you to grow up

When I was young, I was crazy and wild
(Crazy and wild)
But now I'm grown and not a god damn child
(God damn child) 'Cause time is passin' and
We turnin' the page (Turnin' the page)
So, man
You gotta start actin' your age and grow up
('Cause, man, it's time to grow up)
See, man, it's time to grow up
(For real, it's time to grow up)
'Cause you been fuckin' off with too
Much wrong for too damn long
It's time to show up (For real)
So be a woman or a man and grow up

Yeah, growin' up, no Pop to show me
Or tell me how to navigate properly
Stoppin' me, obstacles came constantly
Try'na hold onto rope consciously
I know for sure the greatest
Shit in front of me
Inspiration for the ones that came after me
First to say I never did it all correctly
Fuck ups I made still won't let me
Sleep good when a nigga can't eat good
Shit I did back when everybody ate good
Playful, I was runnin' with the hateful
Instead of sittin' down, nigga
Bein' grateful
Learn from it, take notes and earn with it
Feed families and don't waste
Your turn with it
Have fun with it, whatever come your way
And when it get real, young nigga, don't play

When I was young, I was crazy and wild
(Crazy and wild)
But now I'm grown and not a god damn child
(God damn child) 'Cause time is passin' and
We turnin' the page (Turnin' the page)
So, man
You gotta start actin' your age and grow up
('Cause, man, it's time to grow up) See, man
It's time to grow up
(For real, it's time to grow up)
'Cause you been fuckin' off with too
Much wrong for too damn long
It's time to show up (For real)
So be a woman or a man and grow up

Now either you a rookie or you pro up
You tryna win the race or you
Out here tryna slow up drink up or throw up
Let the air out or blow up
Travel, get outta your city
Do some more stuff
Now before I ever go broke I'ma hoe up
That mean go get a hoe that's gon'
Help me get some dough up a nigga get wrong
We gon' leave him ten toe up
So every time I needed her
She broke her neck to show up
Pimp tight, I mean I'm tryna life the most of
Life that I can live
Zoom in and get a close up
Maybe I can be an inspiration to some more of
The people of the world make
The whole world grow up
It's seems like for every other
Drink that I pour up
It's for a dead loved one and
We don't even know what
For a lotta loose ends left to sew up
But God needed them
Another angel had to go up

When I was young, I was crazy and wild
(Crazy and wild)
But now I'm grown and not a god damn child
(God damn child) 'Cause time is passin' and
We turnin' the page (Turnin' the page)
So, man
You gotta start actin' your age and grow up
('Cause, man, it's time to grow up)
See, man, it's time to grow up
(For real, it's time to grow up)
'Cause you been fuckin' off with too
Much wrong for too damn long
It's time to show up (For real)
So be a woman or a man and grow up
