Growing Young

Be a man John be a man
 Used to get them Marlboros for dad
 It made me feel grown
 Didn't know the problems he had
 But he was real gone
 When he had the bottle in hand
 He was just dead wrong
 Promised that I would never grow up and be him
 But I never grew up at all
 And now I'm womanizing and cheatin, drinkin heavily in the pm
 Havin myself a monsters ball, just like my pa
 My girl lookin the same way my mom did
 Smeared make up tears under her eyeleids
 Generations of havin a down ass chick
 But we always end up fuckin up that shit
 Pointin fingers at all of my male figures
 The only thing gettin bigger is makin bout six figures
 And everybody just shut up, when I put it on my tab
 Ain't it sad when a visa's the only credit you have, huh
 But that's just John and that's how he is
 That's the only way people come into my defense
 But that's just wrong but that's how it is
 And it be helpin me get away with alot of shit
 Alotta shit, alotta shit, I wish somebody really gave me a whole of shit
 But they on the dick, yea they on my dick,
 now my ego is getting bigger than moby dick
 They see the videos, they see the hero
 They take a mess and paint a mural
 Edit out the a- hole put in the b-roll
 Render the clips, and you got pure gold
 Shoutout to B tho, that's mi amigo,
 kept me in check when I was actin like a devo
 When I was steve o, he made me Steve Jobs,
 im a ceo, now look at me ma
 Now look at me ma, I'm on my grown shit,
 when I mean grown I mean takin care of my own shit,
 now look at me pa, this is some grown shit,
 now what you taught me forget it I flipped the whole script,
 now look at me girl I'm on grown shit,
 what im sayin I mean it my word is golden,
 everything I'm sayin you're probably thinkin no shit,
 I shoulda known this already, but I'm ready now
