Grown Up Lyrics by Sapient

Barrels for Feathers

2010

[Chorus]
If Mama said there would be days like this
I wouldn't have grown up
If Mama said there would be days like this
I wouldn't have grown up

[Bridge]
My ear's ringing, my mind's dope
My greatest gift is my instinct for survival
My ear's ringing, my mind's dope
My greatest gift is my instinct for survival

[Verse]
Listeners think I'm out here livin' the dream
But every day is like being kicked in the teeth
I'd rather live in my dreams but it's too late I'm grown up
I got a wife and seed so I'ma provide sho nuff..
Sometimes I feel like I chose the wrong profession
A 9 to 5 woulda been easier, that's not a lesson
I'm not a blessin', I'm on a precipice
Bring it on if pending war
Warding off depression and condescending the thoughts
Of convalescence, I'm torn
Between good and evil, no I don't love wicked things
But I'm love stricken by the blood trickling, ooh
The taste of iron gets me inspired and charged up
My heart sunk down, now covered in art gunk
That's my savior and major, but now it's all twisted
I can't enjoy music cos all I hear is processes

[Bridge]
My ear's ringing, my mind's dope
My greatest gift is my instinct for survival
My ear's ringing, my mind's dope
My greatest gift is my instinct for survival
Survival, survival's what life's all about
Now that I'm grown up, things are smaller now
But that don't mean I can forget all my troubles
Just cos I'm told that there's light at the end of the tunnel, no

[Chorus]
If Mama said there would be days like this
I wouldn't have grown up
If Mama said there would be days like this
I wouldn't have grown up
