Grow Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1: slowthai] Raised in Midlands, don't know the half of Why you kipping? Move oz like Narcos True, it's chapping, trim at the barber's Used to get a border, pack for a starter Out of order, every bathroom Weighing up scores, got half for a bastard Pints and peanuts the life I chose Mice in the speakers, chew holes in cones One-fifty for a ninety-nine cone Where's my change? Got changed on the road Pop goes the weasel, gripping on your throat Pow like Lethal just curry goat Are what you eat, you must yam bare pussy Believe what I see and I just see a pussy Can't try it with T 'cause T ain't a pussy Used to slang B like a BB bullet I was with Lloyd, unemployed, nonprofit I was with Beau selling nose out a cottage Cream, get the money, then the cream got clotted Had to leave Lings 'cause Lings was the hottest Deal with the drought, now trekkin' to Norwich Farmers are coming, I link with the Brummys Anorak, so I got no worries Fingers in the air for my brothers on porridge Apply the pressure like Uncle Bully Just like you, fam, I used to get bullied Till I dragged them down by a hoodie Kicking and screaming like, "Go get your mummy" Thought I was scummy, had to get money Entrepreneur, sell wraps to a mummy Always had a laugh when nothin' weren't funny Hop out the dumps like my name's Bugs Bunny [Chorus: slowthai & Jaykae] Growing up too fast Nothing don't last And you can't move forward If you're stuck in the past Growing up too fast Nothing don't last Said we can't move forward (Yo) If we're stuck in the past [Verse 2: Jaykae] Raised in Small Heath like Tommy Shelby Plus my south blood, nobody helped me Chicken and chips every day ain't healthy Ain't had it hard if your mum and dad's wealthy Back then fiends might ask for a fix Right now it's fans askin' for a selfie There I got a voice in my head and it tells me To give a man a smile on his face from Chelsea I used to buy a cheese, that was four one fours Now I get the weed out when I'm on tours Used to be fist fights, now they want swords Volley a man's head with my Rockports If we get pulled they find baseball bats Tell the officer I brought man the wrong sports Don't make 'em like me no more bredrins Dem man are playin' and I'm like concourse Can't get a ten deck so I get twenty Tryna make the whole country smoke plenty Can't tell a badman there's no entry Bang, bang, bang 'til the whole place empty Still thank God every day I can emcee Just so nothing on the roads don't tempt me I ain't met no one who lived to a century I think smoking's fucked up my memory [Chorus: slowthai] Growing up too fast Nothing don't last And you can't move forward If you're stuck in the past Growing up too fast Nothing don't last Can't move forward If we're stuck in the past [Interlude: slowthai] You looked up to me, you see So why waste your life tryna grow up When you can enjoy it every moment You know what I'm sayin'? Don't get old, be bold Don't get told, be bold [Outro: slowthai] Raised in Britain? No, you isn't Soft like kitten, I'm tough like cement Kitchen sievin', belly in Knotts And nothin' ain't sitting right Raised in Britain, no you isn't Soft like kitten, I'm tough like cement Kitchen sievin', belly in Knotts Nothing ain't sitting right
