"Gettin' Grown" lyrics - CEELO GREEN

[Intro:]
Oh, mm-mm
Well, well, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, hey-hey

Little boy, you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably
And I've sure come a long way
Hey
The road up ahead was so unclear
Backslidin' down a bottle of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
And, hey
Sweet music set me free
From the statistic that I started to be
I wish my mama was alive to see
Mm-mm-mm
The memories of pain have scarred
And when I fall it's usually hard
But I get up and keep followin' God
Hey

[Chorus:]
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
Mm, gettin' grown (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown, hey, ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha

And I remember the good ol' days
Broads and boxes of blunts to blaze
But I got three children to raise
I-I-I, I-I'm never gon' be perfect, I know
But workin' on it is worth it, I know
Life is just learning as you go
Mm-mm
Been selfish once or twice
I had to learn how to sacrifice
To live to my late nineties'd be nice
Ooh, mm-mm
Every day that goes by is divine
Resentment just robs you blind
God, I owe you this life of mine

[Chorus:]
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
Gettin' grown

[Bridge:]
And ooh-ooh-ooh

Time's changed, but it feels the same
There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing
And, hey
Lord, I know I'm not here to stay
But thanks for wakin' me up today
Preparin' me for what may come my way
And, hey
Say, young man, there's no need to cry
'Cause I know you will get by
Look your destiny in the eye
And ooh-ooh-ooh
Every day my heart burns to try
You've got to walk before you learn to fly
And we all got to earn to die

[Chorus:]
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
Gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown

[Outro:]
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown, (La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la)
I'm gettin' grown
