Kids Are Growing Up (Part 1) lyrics

  Yeah
  Growing up I used to wanna be my Uncle Wayne
  Until I saw his body layin' in the grave (Rest in peace)
  Growing up I used to want a Jeep Wrangler (Haha)
  Until I got to drive a Range
  Growing up I used to have a lot of friends
  Until I saw the money change 'em
  Growing up I used to want a lot of hoes
  Until I met Ben Franklin
  I'm writin' this from a place that you ain't heard about
  That you could only comment through the word of mouth
  Growing up, I used to tell my ma, "I'll work it out"
  I worked it out but now still somehow shit ain't working out
  Growing up, I watched my favorite rappers interviews
  I ain't believe 'em when they said, "It ain't all what it seems"
  But now I'm here, realized they were tellin' truth
  'Cause you sacrificed yourself for everybody's needs, by any means
  I'm married to the game for this diamond ring
  And I spend more time with her than anybody else it seems
  Court side with my bitch, we can't see the nosebleeds
  Afterparty, Bootsy Bellows, hoes make they nose bleed
  Always stressin' 'bout my brother, I know this shit hard on him
  Always stressin' 'bout my momma but I know that God got her
  I'm stressin' out more now than what I did at rock bottom
  And I'm blowin' more clouds, hopin' that'll help stop it
  It's all smoke and mirrors with these bitches
  It's all smoke and mirrors with 'em all (For real, haha)
  Promised the world and delivered me a atlas
  But I guess that's how it goes

  Ooh, I don't know why I can't believe it (Oh, yeah)
  Oh, nothin' ever as it seems at all (Ooh)
  I thought my nightmares were my dreams (Ooh, I don't believe)
  This ain't what it seems now, no

  Hey kiddo, been tryin' to call
  It's mom
  Just wanted to check up and say I miss you
  Call me back when you get a chance
  Love you

  We been to Hell and back together, you're my closest friend (Uh)
  Shit, you probably know me better than
  I know myself and you're the reason why I never rest
  I walk into the crib, high as hell, head full of stress
  I love you even though sometimes I forget to text
  I'd give everything even if it means I have nothing left
  And even at your worst, for us, you tried your best
  And all this shit that we went through together, I just won't forget
  You check me when I spend lots of money that I make
  You tell me you won't ever let me make the same mistakes
  You makin' sure we had it good and then we lost it all
  A year later, hidin' narcotics in the wall
  Of the apartment we was livin' in in Kings Cross
  Always thought my uncle was a boss
  But now he up with God, I thought he was invincible
  Ninth grade, turned around and said fuck my principle and dropped out
  And this was at the time that we ain't have a house
  And me and you was sleepin' on the separate ends of Louie's couch
  I would go to JD's to make music, end up passing out and wake up with my back sore
  Callin' tryna figure out just where you at, shit made me mad
  Seein' you in the back of the ambulance to the hospital
  I thought you weren't comin' back
  Next mornin', walked in just like nothing happened
  You'd never admit the problems that you had
  And tell me that I'm bein' crazy if I ever asked
  But now I got my own problems and I understand
  'Cause I try to protect you from anything bad (I understand)

  Ooh, I don't know why I can't believe it (Oh, yeah)
  Oh, nothin' ever as it seems at all (Ooh)
  I thought my nightmares were my dreams (Ooh, I don't believe)
  This ain't what it seems now, no
