A few months back, I was holding my mama's hand
While she was watching her mama pass
Saying,
no, not again
When dad's tests came back
I was falling for a real good man
Till I started falling flat They say growing up's fun
Where's the fun in that?
Growing up is getting old It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up takes a toll Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid just wishing
you could fly right down that throat
But the years roll before you know Growing up's just getting old
All the hard work leads to a burnout Hit
the peak and I don't know where to turn now
Had the spotlight shining on me But it don't hurt now
Gonna pray one day it'll work out, but
Growing up is getting old It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up takes a toll Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid just wishing
you could fly right down that throat
But the years roll before you know Growing up's just getting old
Tell me when the hard part's over Tell
me when the sun shining roses show up
Nothing comes easy I know but You know what,
you know what
Growing up is getting old It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up takes a toll Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid just wishing
you could fly right down that throat
But the years roll before you know Growing up's just getting old
Growing up's just getting old
Growing up is getting old
