Growing Young Lyrics

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 monster's ball, just like my pa

My girl lookin' the same way my mom did
Smeared make up and tears under her eyelids
Generations of havin' a down ass chick
But we always end up f*ckin' up that sh*t

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
Ain't 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 isDumbfoundead - Growing Young - http://motolyrics.com/dumbfoundead/growing-young-lyrics.html
And it be helpin' me get away with a lot of sh*t

A lotta sh*t, a lotta sh*t,
I wish somebody really gave me a whole lotta sh*t
But they on the d*ck, yea they on my d*ck,
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,
I'm a CEO, now look at me ma

Now look at me ma, I'm on my grown sh*t,
When I mean grown I mean takin' care of my own sh*t,
Now look at me pa, this is some grown sh*t,
Now what you taught me forget it I flipped the whole script
Now look at me girl I'm on grown sh*t,
What I'm sayin' I mean it my word is golden,
Everything I'm sayin' you're probably thinkin' no sh*t,
I shoulda known all of this already, but I'm ready now
