Growing Down lyrics

[Verse 1: Ritchie with a T]
Maturity and having goals wasn't in my first boxset
I was just deciding to go bike and wanted to ride, check
But besides that, I wasn't caring 'bout what girlies really thought of me
Had the curly hair and wanted to be Mice Prodigy
I wasn't focused on no Pro Tools
Or Logic G
Just leaking [?]
90s kids on the project swing
Not exactly a project to the nice apartment
See, single mom working hard
Dad wasn't a part of me
Pick back, rewind, let's get back to the present date
A necessary thing distract me from what the reverent say
Let's get straight to business and pass the blame
Light used to be full of colors
Now its just [?] the gray
Now I see sounds like any [?]
To pack the black and [?]
[?] stressed, mate
Some fade away
Maybe cop some new [?]
Or a pair of [?] from fade away
Damn I hope they fade away
Fade away, yea I'm feeling [?] today
Did some paperwork but Stephen just rolling J's
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Injury Reserve to be still paid today
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Did some paperwork but Stephen just rolling J's
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Injury Reserve but we still tryna play
[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Verse 2: Stepa J. Groggs]
It's Mr. [?] always used to skip school
Wanna do the same on work, but I got bills due
It's a bad odor getting owner, that sh*t stinks
I wish I was a kid again, I don't care what people think
I swear life was so simple as a child
My crew was the thorn berries, everything was wild
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
My momma worked her ass off so I could play with this
Then it was N64, Dreamcast, Playstation
Build a box [?] pretend they was space stations
Young, carefree with a vivid imagination
Damn, I wish I still had that
Now I only pretend bill collectors ain't callin'
MJ's last shot, Reggie Miller at the garden
Dad inspired me to be a baller, then I hit 5
Now, I knew I wasn't a kid [?] any taller
But I didn't keep my head down
Always kept my chin [?] Marshal Matters LP
[?]
Freestylin' at the lunch table
No one can eat, and by that
I mean no one can compete
Fast forward, 24, stackin' cash for these beats
But I don't sweat it, I'm a Maverick
I ain't tripping off the heat
Caked up, so everything was sweet
Late for work
I couldn't stop untill this verse was complete
[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Verse 3: Stepa J. Groggs & Ritchie with a T]
Are we skipping on a Caprisun
Best believe it's about to go [?]
When there's no joke about my popsicle
Time was of the essence
Had a big smile on my face
Christmas wasn't always about presents
Only thing I worry 'bout was my mother and me
Bumping Jill Scott down the street with my smile on [?]
I went from Duck, Duck, Goose to gettin' f*cked up off Goose
Connect Four to hittin' my connect for
Four grams or more, just to make it through the day
Love cold days, love positives [?]
Now I'll be damned if I get mud on my Jays
Sooner or later I'll get over it
They say it's just a phase
Till then just hit my b*tches like Bobby Ray
But I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Damn, I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways
I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways
[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Chorus: Kids & Ritchie with a T]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
