Grow Up ft. Mayo Carter Lyrics

Ayo

You ever wish you could go back

be a kid again

You don't realize how quick the time goes

You know

Why can't being grown be like when we were kids

When even big mistakes were easy to forgive

Back when high school seemed like it was decades away

When all the homies were alive nobody in graves

I'm talking back before high speed internet

Tryna be cool puffing candy cigarettes

Getting picked first felt like you just won a Grammy

Sneak a middle finger to the boys who can't stand me

Mama catch me snacking in my room she might kill me

Playing call of duty with the boys I'm on a kill streak

Mama tryna get me out the house get some fresh air

My boys on the stoop like getcha ass out here

Can I go back

To being next up at bat

Tryna hit a home run after practicing all night

Shoulda seen the smile on my face I hit it just right

Whoever would've thought I would miss being ten

And dream to live in 2008 once again

What was I thinking

I wanna grow up

Looking back now I wish time slowed up

I wish that I never once wished That I was grown

Tell me what the hell is the fun in being old

Remember when they said, "This the time of your life?"

Man looking back now, who woulda thought they were right

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby

I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately

They tell you gotta get up and make all the money

You gotta get up and make something

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby

I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately

They tell you gotta get up and make all the money

You gotta get up and make something

Now I'm a teen finally feeling alive

Got acquainted with freedom with my car in drive

A senior in school, who woulda thought

College in another year prom nights almost here

It's getting quite clear what I'm meant to be

Talk about my future with my girl sitting next to me

My folks always on my back about my future

But ima go hard they ain't raise no loser

I miss sneaking beer out my dads mini fridge

Split a cigarette between all my friends

Drive around the city like we run this bitch

Still gotta be home before curfew hits

I really can't believe I used to hate that town

Nowadays I go home and just be looking around

I shoulda Listened when dad told me slow down

You're gonna miss this you just don't know it now

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby

I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately

They tell you gotta get up and make all the money

you gotta get up and make something

Okay, I don't wanna grow up, baby

I got demons in my head and now they talk to me lately

They tell you gotta get up and make all the money

You gotta get up and make something

To all y'all lil muthafuckas, 16, 17 years old

Don't rush your life away
