GROWING PAINS (Part.1)

intro:

"growing pains (x3)

you could live, but it's nothing without growing pains

growing pains (x3)

you could live, but it's...

1st verse: (age 13)

I had my first one at the age of 13

my mind was fragile,

I was caught between the dark & the light

my mind can't handle,

So many girls walking down on the street

I could just gamble,

But the character my Mom prayed for me

would be in shambles

To tell you that,

I wouldn't handle

Remembering sunny days on hot pavements that I sat on

Romantic hopes I never knew I'd plan on

There stood a girl across the street,

The cutest one my eyes had ever land on..

If I knew love then,

then everything would have been planned on but...

[growing pains]

2nd verse:(age 16)

3 years apart,

Now I'm 16 & on my devil ways

Knowing that my Mama prays

Knowing that these girls are preys

Knowing one of them will try to take me out my player ways

There's a lot that came with being that way

A lot that came with being under-aged

Like he can't drink while being under-aged

Like he can't smoke while being under-aged

Like he should be broke while being under-aged

I swear the peer-pressure's insane

Let's not talk 'bout losing V-cards

Let's not go there

You're prolly thinking I'm a Hoe there, nah

I was being faithful

I was just out of place

& there were moments where I saw you

You came from school,

I was coming home,

Too tired to call,

Thinking Imma fall prey to your judgement,

But you never did...

But you never did

& When you said you love me to death,

I was so scared cause no one ever did,

[No ever did] (x2)

Now let that sink in...

[growing pains]

3rd verse: (age 19)

3 years apart,

& now I'm 19

& I got fine teeth

Remember when them boys were crooked,nah

You prolly don't remember how they even look-ed

You got me stuttering, cause them braces were never cushioned

To make a gent feel as good, as though he'd ever look-eth

F--- I'm spitting Shakespeare

I think I got it on your face, the way you blushing

Got you smiling like I'm not a stranger, I'm your 3rd cousin

I'm so curious

How we got so close, I never took you on a date

How you got so full of love, I'll always put it on your plate

& How you got so beautiful, you know the natural just makes you ate (damn)

{"You're so gorgeous,

I just had to point it out, girl

Hope you're listening, for real"}

------

outro:

& As we taking time growing

I just hope the love you always showing

Is never abused by anybody knowing, but you

[Anybody but YOU]...
