[Verse 1] I used to think fuckin' up was cool Loved ditchin' class 'til I didn't pass high school My dad always said it's easier to keep up Than it is to catch up, but all I did was mess up
Roll around the streets, get drunk and shoplift Freestyle, meanwhile, continue to bullshit A teenage life, when you think you know everythin' About everythin' and don't know a damn thing
Hit the 'shaw, liquor, bank, then the gas station Get to duckin' when they buck in gang altercation We scatter, then come right back Shit, riskin' our lives, but never saw it like that
A few blocks down the street, couple fools get capped Nigga, bullets ain't picky, it coulda been a wrap It never hits home until your homie get clapped You at the funeral with tears, sayin' to yourself you gotta grow up
[Hook] Way up (Up, up) You not a kid no more, I think it's time to grow Homie, you better know, you know it's time to grow
Way up (Up, up) Cause nigga, you too grown, get out and get your own Your childish ways are gone, I think you better grow up
[Verse 2] You got a Bentley, but can't keep gas in it A Gucci wallet, but ain't got cash in it Go out to eat, it's your treat, then at the last minute Say you forgot it, never had it, want them to spend it
Now that's an interestin' thang Cause in your video, you havin' so much blang A few days ago, I heard you pawned that chain Instead of coppin' that, you shoulda copped the food chain
V-necks, mohawks, just ain't me Shit, it barely looked right on Mr. T Your biker chains, designer shades, just ain't right Especially when you can't breathe cause your pants's too tight
Wack beats, catchy hooks and little ass kids Add a dance to it and it's gon' be big It's our fault everythin' done flip-flopped You wanna save hip hop, rappers? Then you gotta grow up
[Hook]
[Verse 3] Nigga still cruisin' Crenshaw at thirty-six Your wife at home, you wastin' gas, tryna bust a bitch At the club, actin' young, wearin' the wrong shit Think you're Chris Brown, but you look like Keith Sweat, bitch
Ain't you got kids to raise? Instead of actin' like them, nigga, act your age Why you wear a wave cap, but ain't got waves Wear that shit out in public and on church days
And goddamn, niggas, pull up your pants Got your drawers all out, what you wanna strip dance? And homeboy, what you doin' in a 5X? You ain't that big, shit's lookin' like a dress
You bought an iPhone but live in your momma home Gotta wait 'til she's asleep before you can bone You grown, you know you wrong, but either way Someday, homeboy, you know you gotta grow
