MAM - Growing Pains Lyrics

313, straight to the 615, right back to the 313
That's me, that's me, but if I could I would

Turn back time, right back to where I stood
10th grade my very first day in the MI state tryna make it in a brand need school
Class no problem had those smarts, older siblings set that bar
What I would give to show that kid that he'd been needing a fresh start
Shy and quiet there I sat, conducting trains without no tracks
Alone I ate, surely fate, no sees behind this mask
Not in prison, safe to say, but most of me's been locked away
Barricades , made me wait, held my tongue, closed the shades
Just a misfit prodigy, tryna make y'all proud
Endless will, was buried still, deep inside
For the first time in my life, I think I'm where I'm supposed to be
Plenty lessons on the way to find your type gotta bleed
Judge, jury execution, nowhere near my conclusion
But I'll admit to being guilty, of dodging my solutions
It's a tough climb up, and people hella savage
But it burns to make beauty what's firewood without the matches

Growing pains growing pains I've had enough of it
These growing pains rack my brain but I'm in love with it
Drive us insane these growing pains do
Gotta maintain a positive point of view aye

This one's out to all my folks in the middle
The ones that live and breathe their craft choosing to play second fiddle
Out there living picture perfect too afraid of the fall
Always sacrificing joy, just to keep the status quo
Your wrong, too long did I sit there sad and patience
If you got a dream ahead of you, better go and chase it
Vulture keep on circling, so quit playing possum
Know that every mountain climber's gotta to start at the bottom
It's impossible to win, when you're always comparing
To your brother to your sister, to your mom to your daddy
We're all so petty and it's breaking all the bonds we've created
Keep forgetting, ones around us are the fuel that'll take us
To a higher level, to a plain that is greater
Start smiling at, even the randomest strangers
Quit fearing real, build on your future
You're gonna have to face it, Oklahoma let's do it sooner

Growing pains growing pains I've had enough of it
These growing pains rack my brain but I'm in love with it
Drive us insane these growing pains do
Gotta maintain a positive point of view aye

It's not about me and I'm sure it's not about you
Well not alone so fix that attitude
Find somebody with rival intensity
Cause If bae ain't got your drive then I guess It not meant to be
Always cling to what we know, it's safe to be basic
All I see is broken dreams, potential wasted
Never go out on a limb to better somebody else
Then we wonder why we're feeling lost nobody helps
Cause what goes around comes around that's what I be preaching
Folks won't care until you're renowned that's why they keep leaving
Then they circle back real fast when you catch your footing
Only give em time of day if they had your back during
Those rock bottom times those Dr. Seuss rhymes
On scorching hot days and winter cold nights
When your tank was on E and no one came to push
Crazy caught on you their the fish but here's the hook

Growing pains growing pains I've had enough of it
These growing pains rack my brain but I'm in love with it
Drive us insane these growing pains do
Gotta maintain gotta maintain
Growing pains
Rack my brain
Drive us insane
Gotta maintain a positive point of view aye
