Growing Pains - SOL

At 18 I lived a crazy life

But I couldn’t tell you what the '80s were like

Took an 1/8 to my face everyday

But my grade’s straight A

I guess my IQ must’ve been high

All the girls in my class so eager to grow up

Chasing older boys, tryina make 'em crush

By on Myspace she said she was looking for love

Put me on the top, so I guess I’m the one

School dances, romances, turned tohouse parties

And after the party it’s the hotel lobby

Her moms credit card better work, but if not

You bet we will hot box the car she said let’s pop a Molly

I said what’s a Molly?

All I do is smoke weed and get drunk out forty

Some of the homies tried to keep this shit goin

Stuck in the twelve grade, and ready to grow up

Fucking around

Been fucking around, fucking around

Still fucking around, fucking around

Spend a lot of time on my mind right now

24 hours 'fore I come down

Been fucking around

Still fucking around

At 21 I lived a sober life

Sike, my liver workin overdrive

Really though, the highlight was going to shows

No more getting denied at the door

I built the buzz of my own now

Promoting gigs of my own now

Paying dues in front of older crowds

The Internet haters gave me thick skin Mixed kid

Only thing debated was my pigment

See me on the mic, and you see I got the light

Plus I’m, only 21, imagine what I’ll be in like when I’m 25

I’ma take over the Globe soon as I’m grown

Graduate and I’ll get on the road

Use my age as a crutch, and next thing I know I’m not 21

And I’m not on the road

Made it round the world just to come back to the town

24 years old, still fucking around

(For ever young learning from the light within

Just an outcast who would rap a lot.

You tell me have I changed)

(Make the time to find who you are, who you are)

At 26 I live a simple life

Three loves, good food, great sex

One mic, every day I wake up and fill my body with light

Meditation might’ve saved my life

I don’t pray, all I do is bow

I don’t even party now, I just want to chill

Sick of everybody talking dollar dollar bills

Let’s have a conversation for real

If you’re fucking with me, struggle with me

If your riding with me, pull all nighters with me

If you dig it, find some water with me

We’re all evolving working progress and knowledge

Is never ending so I guess we’re ??

if you think about it

The road is straight or crooked

Dependin how you lookin at it

Life is long or short, depends on how you living active

And if you’ve been abandoned, but still Build a band around you and your

friends are family

Now you ain’t fucking around

Lessons learned, you ain’t fucking around

You really ain’t fucking around
