Growing Up

These past four years I've learned a lot, how can I complain
When other guys got locked up, tryna to earn a name
Going from a boy to a man, they said you had to be bold
Either have a girl on bended knee, or show an opp the end of the road
That's the place where I grew up, taught me the way of the land
A place where you don't have much luck, keep the blicky in your hand
I admit there were many things, that I couldn't understand
When you're a kid, you think life's a beach, not seeing that it's quicksand
My vision is clear, finally, time to see what I'm working with
Knowing what to avoid is critical, and worth it
And I didn't have to be 50, to have this epiphany
Being prepared gave me the strength, to not let problems get to me
Yeah, looking to the sky, reflecting on what made me tough
Outside it get cold, my homie got the heater tucked
No matter the loss, just get up and shake it off
It's part of growing up, I'm growing up
Looking to the sky, reflecting on what made me tough
Outside it get cold, my homie got the heater tucked
No matter the loss, just get up and shake it off
It's part of growing up, I'm growing up
I got the crust out my eyes, I'm wide awake
Seize the day, the journey I'ma take will have detours, but I'll be straight
What's life without the struggle, but with hustle, you'll be fine
And I got a lot of that, so don't worry bout mine
It's my rite of passage into manhood
Little Kam went from tryna understand, to being understood
I have to thank my rocky adolescence for the lessons
What I thought were misfortunes, turned out to be blessings
Looking to the sky, reflecting on what made me tough
Outside it get cold, my homie got the heater tucked
No matter the loss, just get up and shake it off
It's part of growing up, I'm growing up
Looking to the sky, reflecting on what made me tough
Outside it get cold, my homie got the heater tucked
No matter the loss, just get up and shake it off
It's part of growing up, I'm growing up
