ADULTHOOD Lyrics by Jon Batiste, BJ the Chicago Kid

WE ARE (The Deluxe Edition)

2021

[Chorus]
It's phenomenal, this boy's gonna find his soul
It's emotional, room for us to grow, yeah
Superliminal, yeah

[Verse 1]
Ours is all that you wanna be
Lost my pride, I'm a wannabe
But still I need you, I see (Yeah, yeah)
Only you can give me freedom
Only you can make me sing (You make me sing)
(Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
It's phenomenal, this boy's gonna find his soul
It's emotional, room for us to grow
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Lord knows I never thought I'd find a super [?]
I know love ain't perfect
But if you're feelin' what I'm talkin' bout, say "Yeah"
I never thought that it would be a time
Where we wouldn't see eye to eye
But baby, here we are right now
Wish we could make it right
[?] we could make it right
I need my background to help me sing, ooh

[Interlude]
Dear Lord, I pray that you bless our relationship
I pray that you help us not to fight
And to get along
And to go to church on Sundays

[Verse 3]
Mama said, do what you can
Gotta be a Holy man
You could tell that I'm a Nolia man
By the way that I talk and the way that I walk
And I wanna see your pretty face
Light up like the city in springtime
Light up like the crowd when I rhyme
Light up like, shine (Get it)
I know you don't like to dance in public
But I love it when you get loose
And show your toes, show your toes
Or when you get loose and show your foes
Let's show them, ooh

[Outro]
It's phenomenal, you so phenomenal
It's phenomenal, and we gon' find a way
It's emotional, room for us to grow
It's phenomenal, we gon' find it
We gon' find a way
It's emotional, room for us to grow
Yeah, yeah
