[Chorus]
Man, I swear I ain’t a kid no more
Look how big I’ve grown
Can’t tuck me in the bed no more
Tell me so I know
Understand you ain’t a kid no more
I see that you’ve grown
Can’t pull me by a thread no more
You need to let go
[Verse 1]
Tegan, you tweaking, you fell off the deep end
This what you believe in, it be so misleading
Like you, I know you probably chill on the weekends
You say that you’re working, but probably sleeping
Plus, you staring at 2 screens still
Notice you don’t want the green, but I know the queen will
I be trying to guide you around you know I mean well
But we got different ideas of Dreamville
You want to be this, you want to be Cole
You want to get rich, don’t want to be broke
But listen to this, stay in control
‘Cause you never know if you’re going to blow
Or if you flopping, I want you to top it
But listen up close to me while we’re on the topic
Want you to go to college, engineer and get some mileage
And to be honest son I hope you use your logic and profit
[Chorus]
Man, I swear I ain’t a kid no more
Look how big I’ve grown
Can’t tuck me in the bed no more
Tell me so I know
Understand you ain’t a kid no more
I see that you’ve grown
Can’t pull me by a thread no more
You need to let go
[Verse 2]
Hey, Tegan it’s your mother, I love you like no other
But know that you got to be a role model for your brothers
I know this is a marathon, but you ain’t no runner
I got to judge the book and all I see is the cover
You and your dad are arguing like all the time
Engineer or business, I am trying to mind mine
Behind his back you know how I feel right
We together, but I want to take your side
It’s Taven and Tayden, you know our mindset is basic
But while we’re on the field or court you going off in the basement
We know you ain’t on vacation, ‘cause we pop in on occasion
And we want you to live the dreams that you’re steadily chasing
We believe in you so, so, much
You the oldest brother, you are the crutch
We know when we need you, you coming in clutch
But we wonder why we always feel like we are judged
[Chorus]
Man, I swear I ain’t a kid no more
Look how big I’ve grown
Can’t tuck me in the bed no more
Tell me so I know
Understand you ain’t a kid no more
I see that you’ve grown
Can’t pull me by a thread no more
You need to let go
[Verse 3]
Of course, I’d love to be Drake
But if I’m not that’s okay
‘Cause you can live off you’re music, there is a million of ways
And I am not trying to say I’ll make a million today
But when I’m making music, nothing take that feeling away from me
Dad, you know I am trying to get the bag
But sometimes it’s about more than that
I love working everyday, I don’t slack
There’s a different way to make it from the past
Momma I swear that I love you and father
‘Cause you two the reason I’m working way harder
You on the sidelines I try not to bother
But you are the person I spill out my heart for
Tayden and Taven, I’m going to make it happen
You grinding for sports and I’m constantly rapping
To show you how to fight, so never lose sight
I want the best for you both your future’s looking bright, yeah
[Chorus]
Man, I swear I ain’t a kid no more
Look how big I’ve grown
Can’t tuck me in the bed no more
Tell me so I know
Understand you ain’t a kid no more
I see that you’ve grown
Can’t pull me by a thread no more
You need to let go
