Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Ed Sheeran - Growing Up Lyrics

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Ed Sheeran - Growing Up

They say Boys don't cry
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

Macklemore - Need To Know Lyrics

Macklemore Need To Know

Washing out cigarettes in the bathroom
Should probably only give my opinion when I'm asked to
I'm really good at giving the half truth
But usually only when I have to

The money doesn't work The chain doesn't work
Something broken in my brain Got me praying in the dirt
Got me stranded in my bed Like I'm laying in the hearse
And the grass is always greener When you play on astroturf

Wonder why my generation poppin' pills and poppin's percs
And got some weed and got some purp
And got some bars and got some syurp
And got some Jordan's on my feet I want and matched them with my shirt
And I just instagrammed them both to show you that I got them first

Got a Louis duffel bag I got my girl a purse
I'm tryna find God through a purchase I'm not tryna go to church
Amen Stan told me not to serve I only think about myselft
I only think about my worth

I only think about my come-up Capitalism
Look at where we come from We are what we run from
We are why we smoke some So numb so numb so numb

I'mma tell you what you need to know
I'mma tell you what you need to hear
Cause the truth would be too much
Yeah the truth would be Yeah the truth would be

I'mma tell you what you need to hear
I'mma tell you what you need to hear
Cause the truth would be too much
Yeah the truth would be Yeah the truth would be

I cry when she smile with her eyes closed
I'm already afraid to tight clothes
I want all her best friends to be white folks
I scratched these lines so many times I can't forget it

It's f*cked up I say it almost every time that I edit
I swear rapping make it easy to lie
But secrets don't make it easy to write
I met the devil in Manhattan Quickly ended discussions

But I know he come in all forms that won't be his last visit
Tie is moving fast and I'm running where the past is
Looking in the mirror like "Damn that ain't my dad, is it?"
He handed a choice but he ain't hold my hand in it

I spent a plenty penny on microphones many midis
---- cities I put the indy in windy city
Indian giver black father white liar
Right next to easy like mike myers

Stare at the cue cards take out the juke parts
I remember opening for Ben wsn't no liquor at the show
And now the white girls call me nigga at my show

I wish that I could open twice sit down at the open mic
Go back to the day before I became famous over night
I wish that I could open twice sit down at the open mic
Go back to the day before I became famous over night

I'mma tell you what you need to know
I'mma tell you what you need to hear
Cause the truth would be too much
Yeah the truth would be Yeah the truth would be

I'mma tell you what you need to hear
I'mma tell you what you need to hear
Cause the truth would be too much
Yeah the truth would be Yeah the truth would be Okay
