Growing Down

[Verse 1: Ritchie with a T]
Maturity and having goals wasn't in my first boxset
I was just deciding to go bike and wanted to ride, check
But besides that, I wasn't caring 'bout what girlies really thought of me
Had the curly hair and wanted to be Mice Prodigy
I wasn't focused on no Pro Tools
Or Logic G
Just leaking [?]
90s kids on the project swing
Not exactly a project to the nice apartment
See, single mom working hard
Dad wasn't a part of me
Pick back, rewind, let's get back to the present date
A necessary thing distract me from what the reverent say
Let's get straight to business and pass the blame
Light used to be full of colors
Now its just [?] the gray
Now I see sounds like any [?]
To pack the black and [?]
[?] stressed, mate
Some fade away
Maybe cop some new [?]
Or a pair of [?] from fade away
Damn I hope they fade away
Fade away, yea I'm feeling [?] today
Did some paperwork but Stephen just rolling J's
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Injury Reserve to be still paid today
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Did some paperwork but Stephen just rolling J's
Fade away, fade away, yeah I'm feeling [?] today
Injury Reserve but we still tryna play

[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Verse 2: Stepa J. Groggs]
It's Mr. [?] always used to skip school
Wanna do the same on work, but I got bills due
It's a bad odor getting owner, that shit stinks
I wish I was a kid again, I don't care what people think
I swear life was so simple as a child
My crew was the thorn berries, everything was wild
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
My momma worked her ass off so I could play with this
Then it was N64, Dreamcast, Playstation
Build a box [?] pretend they was space stations
Young, carefree with a vivid imagination
Damn, I wish I still had that
Now I only pretend bill collectors ain't callin'
MJ's last shot, Reggie Miller at the garden
Dad inspired me to be a baller, then I hit 5
Now, I knew I wasn't a kid [?] any taller
But I didn't keep my head down
Always kept my chin [?] Marshal Matters LP
[?]
Freestylin' at the lunch table
No one can eat, and by that
I mean no one can compete
Fast forward, 24, stackin' cash for these beats
But I don't sweat it, I'm a Maverick
I ain't tripping off the heat
Caked up, so everything was sweet
Late for work
I couldn't stop untill this verse was complete

[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal, cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Verse 3: Stepa J. Groggs & Ritchie with a T]
Are we skipping on a Caprisun
Best believe it's about to go [?]
When there's no joke about my popsicle
Time was of the essence
Had a big smile on my face
Christmas wasn't always about presents
Only thing I worry 'bout was my mother and me
Bumping Jill Scott down the street with my smile on [?]
I went from Duck, Duck, Goose to gettin' fucked up off Goose
Connect Four to hittin' my connect for
Four grams or more, just to make it through the day
Love cold days, love positives [?]
Now I'll be damned if I get mud on my Jays
Sooner or later I'll get over it
They say it's just a phase
Till then just hit my bitches like Bobby Ray
But I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Damn, I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways
I doubt I'll ever change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways

[Chorus: Stepa J. Groggs]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up

[Chorus: Kids & Ritchie with a T]
I remember when life was so easy
Bowl of cereal cartoons on TV
Having lots of fun and I can just be me
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up, I don't wanna grow up
