Testo di 'Growing Young' di Dumbfoundead

Be a man john be a man,
used to get them Marlboros for dad,
it made me feel grown,
didn't know the problems he had,
but he was real gone,
when he had the bottle in hand,
he was just dead wrong,

promised that I would never grow up and be him,
but I never grew up at all,
and now I'm womanizing and cheatin, drinkin heavily in the pm,
havin myself a monsters ball, just like my pa,

my girl lookin the same way my mom did,
smeared make up tears under her eyeleids,
generations of havin a down ass chick,
but we always end up fuckin up that shit,

pointin fingers at all of my male figures,
the only thing gettin bigger is makin bout six figures,
and everybody just shut up, when I put it on my tab,
aint it sad when a visa's the only credit you have, huh,

but that's just john and that's how he is,
that's the only way people come into my defense,
but that's just wrong but that's how it is,
and it be helpin me get away with alot of shit,

alotta shit, alotta shit, I wish somebody really gave me a whole of shit,
but they on the dick, yea they on my dick, now my ego is getting bigger than moby dick,

they see the videos, they see the hero,
they take a mess and paint a mural,
edit out the a- hole put in the b-roll,
render the clips, and you got pure gold,

shoutout to B tho, that's mi amigo, kept me in check when I was actin like a devo,
when I was steve o, he made me steve jobs, im a ceo, now look at me ma,

now look at me ma, I'm on my grown shit, when I mean grown I mean takin care of my own shit, now look at me pa, this is some grown shit, now what you taught me forget it I flipped the whole script, now look at me girl I'm on grown shit, what im sayin I mean it my word is golden, everything I'm sayin you're probably thinkin no shit, I shoulda known this already, but I'm ready now,
