Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, mm Well, well Mm, mm Hey-hey [Verse 1] Little boy, you're not allowed to stay You have to evolve inevitably And I've sure come a long way Hey, the road up ahead was so unclear Backslidin' down a bottle of beer Nobody knew if I would make it here And hey, sweet music set me free From the statistic that I started to be I wish my mama was alive to see Mm, the memories of the pain have scarred And when I fall it's usually hard But I get up and keep followin' God, hey [Chorus] I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown Mm, gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown, hey Ah-ha-ha, ha-ha [Verse 2] And I remember the good ol' days Broads and boxes of blunts to blaze But I got three children to raise I-I-I, I-I'm never gon' be perfect, I know But workin' on it is worth it, I know Life is just learnin' as you go Mm, been selfish once or twice I had to learn how to sacrifice To live to my late nineties be nice Ooh, mm, and every day that goes by is divine Resentment just robs you blind God, I owe you this life of mine [Chorus] I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Gettin' grown [Verse 3] And, ooh, time's changed, but it feels the same There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring Even if I could, I wouldn't change a thing And hey, Lord, I know I'm not here to stay But thanks for wakin' me up today Preparin' me for what may come my way And hey, as a young man, there's no need to cry 'Cause I know you will get by Look your destiny in the eye And, oh-oh, every day my heart burns to try You've got to walk before you learn to fly And we all got to earn to die [Chorus] I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown I'm gettin' grown, (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) I'm gettin' grown
