Gettin' Grown

Gettin' Grown - Cee-Lo

Hey

Little boy you're not allowed to stay

You have to evolve inevitably

And I've sure come a long way

The road up ahead is so unclear

Back sliding down the bottom of beer

Nobody knew if I would make it here

Sweet music set me free

From the statistic that I started to be

I wish my mama was alive to see

The memories of pain have scarred

And when I fall it's usually hard

But I get up and keep followin' God

Hey I'm Gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm Gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown hey

Now I remember the good old days

Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze

Now I got three children to raise

I never won't be perfect I know

But working on it is worse than I know

Life is just learning as you go

Been selfish once or twice

I had to learn how to sacrifice

To live to my late nineties be nice

Every day that goes by I find

It either hits me or it robs me blind

God I owe you this life of mine

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

Oooo time changed but it feels the same

There's no telling what tommorow will bring

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing

Hey Lord I know I'm not here to stay

But thanks for wakin' me up today

Prepare me for what may come my way

Say young man there's no need to cry

Because I know you will get by

Look your destiny in the eye

Everyday my heart burns to try

You got to walk before you learn to fly

And we all got to earn to die

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown
