Growing Pains

[Chorus]
It's gonna hurt for a while
But it won’t last forever
Things are gone fall apart
You just keep it together
That's just growing pains

[Verse 1]
How can I concentrate
Got so much on my plate
My nigga Isaac gone
Didn't think I’d see the day
A thousand miles from home
I'm on a date with fate
Tears clouding the vision
It's time I made these transitions
I'm used to running and hiding
Avoiding chances and not trying
Never communicating
Always remaining silent
Now I can list all my flaws
I can list all my vices
Overlooking my triumphs
Demeaning my sacrifices

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll show you just what I'm made of
Never been ashamed of
Living thru the fucking struggle
That's what always kept me humble
Hard times built me up
Right after they tore me down (Doubles)

[Chorus]
It's gonna hurt for a while
But it won’t last forever
Things are gone fall apart
You just keep it together
That’s just growing pains

[Bridge]
Some day, some day
You'll understand
Right now they growing pains

[Verse 2]
What’s wealth without purpose
Look past the surface
We smile for the masses
But cry behind curtains
Found grief with progression
Success with depression
But won't have the answers
If I ain't been tested
Jumped straight into manhood
No time for no added lessons
Wanna make sure the fam' good
Like calling to check up
While writing some checks up
Life is sweet as honey nectar
God told me time to step up
Don’t call on him like Alexa

[Pre-Chorus]
I'ma show you what I'm made of
Never been ashamed to
Speak my mind & stand my ground
Straight forward, no runarounds
Hard times built me up
Right after they tore me down

[Chorus]
It's gonna hurt for a while
But it won't last forever
Things are gone fall apart
You just keep it together
That's just growing pains
