The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hey

Little boy you got a lot of stay

You have to evolve inevitibly

And I've sure come a long way

The road up ahead was so unclear

Back slidin' down the bottle of beer

Nobody knew if I would make it here

Sweet music set me free

From the statistics that it started to be

I wish my mama was alive to see

The memories of pain have scarred

And when I fall it's usually hard

But I get up and keep followin' God

Hey, I'm Gettin' grown, (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown

I'm Gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown, hey

Now I remember the good ol' days

Broads and boxes of blunts to blaze

But now I got three children to raise

I never gon' be perfect I know,

But workin on it is worse than I know,

Life is just learning as you go

Been selfish once or twice

I had to how learn how to sacrifice

So here's to my late nighters be nice

Every day that goes by I find

It eithers hits me or robs you blind

Gotta owe ya this life of mine

I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown,

I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown

(whistling)

Oooo, time changed but it feels the same,

There's no tellin what tommorow will bring,

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang

Hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay

But thanks for wakin' me up today

Prepare me for what may come my way

Say, young man, there's no need to cry

Because I know we will get by

Look your destiny in the eye

Everyday my heart burns to try

You got to walk before you learn to fly

And we all got to earn to die

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
