LionRiddims - Growing Up (In Da Go) lyrics

Pre-Hook: Are we free? (Going deeper than the roots on this one) Are we free? (Looking for some truth on this one) Are we free? (Start to see the clues, the wisdom) Are we free? (When I know that I don't know then I get some) Hook: I'm growing up, moving out, walk about, turn around Every time you climb up, know you're bound to come down Accept the change, accept the hurdles, it's part of life you see Because we're moving forward, taking time, making history Verse 1: You know I grew up a good kid in the suburbs on the North side I rep my hometown but now it's dreams of going worldwide Was good in my cla**es but I was living for the summers Then I skipped a year in school, 5th grade was a newcomer Parents very caring and I got it from them But when they started fighting regular, I saw it was the end They divorced that same year, I thought I took it pretty well But I didn't know the next few were gonna be Hell Well, it wasn't that bad, but I can't say I was happy I was wondering why kids all gotta treat each other crappy Thought about it, think it's got to do with need for control They learned it from their mom and dad, and now they're playing a role If we connect with ourselves, don't need to take from other people You find your source of energy then you begin to peep all Of the ways you can evolve, change yourself and the planet! These words is commandments, better etch em in granite Hook x2 Verse 2: Made it to high school, started sports and found a focus Went to yoga, shouts to chakras, that sh**s more than hocus pocus Learned about the energy, the good vibrations Tripping shrooms in the park, and then I had an awakening: We've gotta treat each other better ‘cause we're all the same Too many people in the world live for fortune and fame Learning lessons I'm a student, I apply my mind constantly I'm tryna keep it prudent, to live for you's my philosophy Hook x2 So I sit in cla** popping pumpkin seeds, asking questions like Socrates On my knees like oh God can you speed up the seconds please? Professor's monotony has gotten me sleepy But my mind has inspired me to start thinking deeply Do you think we've got freedom? in this world full of laws? With a double entendre I ponder the flaws I see it's clear that I don't know, I'd love to hear what you think All that I can surmise is that we are on the brink Of something big, something new, call it the Age of Aquarius We're rolling into the goal, indigo kids gonna carry us I don't know if we're free but I know I'm glad that it's happening Set your course by the stars, and each of us is the captain Don't set your course by the lights of every pa**ing ship I stay original, find myself, I'm never going to quit Sometimes I stray from the path, we make mistakes and we fall But you surrender yourself, you'll know you're big AND you're small Every thing is connected, all people sisters and brothers I mean that literally and planet earth is our mother We're stealing money from her purse, I pray I'm not too late We've got to take responsibility I'm not leaving it to fate Hook x2 Pre-Hook
