Growing Up Lyrics

Uh don't remember much from when I was young

I tried to block it out, you know the less you know the better

Never really asked my momma where we from

But I know we grew up hard and we didn't have a lot of show

I was born in Namibia, I moved away when I was three years old

Came to the UK with my momma, left our family at home

Prayed for years that our family could one day become whole

God done answered my prayers, I'm spending time with my bros

We was six children in a two bed house

Couldn't tell me I was struggling

Had food in my mouth, a meal on my plate

Thought that God was good, but looking back on life

I see that God has honestly been nothing but great

Me and my bros on a game, controller busted up

But we don't care as long as we playing

Would've thought that we were rich always had smiles on our face And I won't change a thing

Cause everything I went through growing up made me who I am

God done made a way for us so I'm forever grateful

I stay close to him, yeah I try to stay faithful

We was at the bottom but he went and flipped the table

Now I'm able, I can't pay no mind to people being hateful

God done made a way for us so I'm forever grateful

I stay close to him, yeah I try to stay faithful

We was at the bottom but he went and flipped the table

Now I'm able, I can't pay no mind to people being hateful

I'm a product of the way that I came up so you can't blame me

If I don't wanna talk it aint your fault, my life been crazy

Growing up, I done seen a lot, I ain't the same

Been through so many trials and tribulations that it changed me

Had to find a way to cope,

Growing up I ain't have much, all I really have is hope

Remember times when I had trust, then it went and got broke

Fool me once it's on you, second time it's on me

Family seen a lot of things, I think we all just need some therapy

So now I put all of this pain inside of these melodies

My brain be fogging up, but then these beats give me some clarity

My heart get hella scars, so I use music as a remedy

My trust on E, so I don't know who to believe

Had plenty say we locked in, next day, they up and leave

Guess that's just life, so I try not to think to deep

But that's just proof, that everything ain't what it seems

God done made a way for us so I'm forever grateful

I stay close to him, yeah I try to stay faithful

We was at the bottom but he went and flipped the table

Now I'm able, I can't pay no mind to people being hateful

God done made a way for us so I'm forever grateful

I stay close to him, yeah I try to stay faithful

We was at the bottom but he went and flipped the table

Now I'm able, I can't pay no mind to people being hateful

I'm a product of the way that I came up so you can't blame me

If I don't wanna talk it aint your fault, my life been crazy

Growing up, I done seen a lot, I ain't the same

Been through so many trials and tribulations that it changed me

Had to find a way to cope,

Growing up I ain't have much, all I really have is hope

Remember times when I had trust, then it went and got broke

Fool me once it's on you, second time it's on me
