| Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Ed Sheeran - Growing Up |
But your dad has shed a lot of tears
They say I should be a strong man
But baby I'm still filled with fear
Sometime I don't know Who I am
Sometimes I question why I'm here
I just wanna be a good dad
Will I be? I have no idea
They say Shouldn't be tough
And moms should raise their kids at home
But baby I know that isn't true
Cause your momma's the toughest person I know
I wanna raise you to be like her
And watch you Show the world how to do it on your own
I'm still tryna figure out who I am
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
I'm gonna be there for your first breath
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step
I can promise you that I'll try to work less
But the tour's routed And I got this album
Put in so many hours and I just want the outcome
To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in facetime
But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time
I won't spoil you You can trust that
For your sweet sixteen You get a bus pass
Had your heart broken Been there Done that
I love you and I can't give you enough of that
Get back to community that raised you up
Read langston Hughes I suggest A Raisin in the Sun
Listen to Sam Cooke A change gone come
You put the work in Don't worry about the praise My love
Don't try to change the world Find something that you love
And do it every day Do that for the rest of your life
And eventually The world will change
I'll be patient One more month
You'll wrap your fingers Round my thumb
Times are changing I know
But who am I if I'm the person You become
If I'm still growing up up up up
I'm still growing up up up up
I'm still growing up
I recomended that you read The Alchemist
Listen to your teachers But cheat in calculus
Tell the truth Regardless of the consequence
And every day Give your momma acompliment
Take your girl to the prom
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo
Slow dance with your woman in your arms
Sneak her in after but boy You better triptoe
Don't wake your mom up
Do yoga Learn about karma
Find God But leave the dogma
The quickest way to happiness Learning to be selfless
Ask more questions Talk about yourself less
Study David Bowie James Baldwin and 2Pac
Watch the sun set with best friends From a roof top
Wear a helmet Don't be stupid
Jaywalk But look before you do it
If it snows Go outside Build a jump Get some helps
Get a sled Thrash the hill With your friend "Till it melts
Go to festivals Camp Fall in love and dance
You're only young once My loved one This is your chance
Take risks Cause life moves so fast
You're only young once My loved one This is your chance
I'll be patient One more month
You'll wrap your fingers Round my thumb
Times are changing I know But who am I if
I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up up up up
I'm still growing up up up up
I'll be patient One more month
You'll wrap your fingers Round my thumb
Times are changing I know But who am I if
I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up up up up
I'm still growing up up up up
I'm still growing up
I'm still growing up Ooh
I'm still growing up
I'm still growing up
