Well, there you have it, baby Gentlemen, that's the problem right there It's the everyday struggle we forced to face This is one thing systematic racism It's how we need to grow through the pain Yeah, check it out First things first, rest in peace to the old me (old me) I guess they call it growin' up (growin' up) If people wanna talk, let 'em talk 'Cause we headed to the top while they lookin' at us (look at us now) If people wanna see us fall down, then so be it (so be it) The only way to go is up (way up) Look at all these people with their fists up What they sayin'? "In minay we trust" Remember what I said back in '03? I don't think you do 'cause we low key We said we couldn't make it off the rez Now I wish I never said it 'cause I'm homesick I'm homesick (homesick) I dug my heels in the map with my veil on my back Man it's like I never went away Worst comes to worst and we don't make it Man, it's what they call growing pains What's the deal with the seventh generation? I think they on the rise at the risk of elevation Taken by an alien invasion, they faced it Do you wanna ride inside of my spaceship? Shotgun' to ya dome ridin' shotgun Pedal to the metal with the world as a hostage I found out who I am and they actin' like I lost it Here's the plot twist (check it out y'all) We're pullin' down the walls, we're puttin' up our own gates This my land, bitch you on the planet of the Nates Big Dro said it first, I'm here to take his place As the new kid on the block, f*ck a waitlist I done damage to my spirit tryna climb this avalanche Bein' native to the land makes it hard to advance In the white man's where we up against up the man And we gotta fight twice as hard to stand a chance (stand up) Ya hear that? It's what we've overcome What's been done to our people can't be undone I pray and I pray for better days (don't we all?) But I hope the growing pains never go away 'Cause the pain disappears through the years, memories fade It's on us to keep the shit straight, I slay I kill a man for what I got today That's why I hope the growing pains never go away Don't let the growing pains go away, go away I hope the growing pains never go away, go away, go away Don't let the growing pains go away, yeah, go away Please don't let the growing pains go away, go away Raw backwards on all of you rappers I been raw backwards since I started rappin' Wrappin' and unwrappin' up all'a these backwoods Got you in the snapback out there walkin' backwards Treat you like my fitted when her native goin' get some dirt on it Here to smack yo ass in the trash, or smack the motherfuckin' dirt off it Never rush that which'll change ya future You hold the key to the present, the present here'll shoot ya To the next plateau you gotta go Never act out of line and you won't get your skin sewn They be actin' like you changed up Funny how focus gets mistaken For an eagle thinkin', "Oh, here he go Native got some shine, nah, he ain't our people" Never forget where you started from I guarantee I won't forget where my start is, son In the basement hopin' that my statements will change the face of the game 'Cause you know what race is Facin' the struggle everyday Poundin' a brickwall hopin' it'll change Shoutout to S-N-R-K, and salute from the field of the growing pains Uh, got this dream to be a rap star Cruisin' up and down since the boulevard Five deep with the minays up in the car livin' large But I'm barely gettin' by with these gift cards These days are gettin' tough but I embrace it Put my troubles into paper, dawg, stayin' medicated Never satisfied with basic, I'ma head up in the clouds Lookin' down on this road that I'm takin', will I make it? (I don't know) Lifestyle of the rich and famous Meanwhile I've been missin' a couple monthly payments At the bottom of the food chain, dawg I hate it I can't explain it, my life feels fornicated But I'ma get rich or I'ma die trying My mama tell me that I'm bad with my money, well she ain't lying She ain't lying, she ain't lying, hell nah she ain't lying, mama don't lie I wasn't built for a life of crime so it's time to figure out another way to grind I don't care if it ain't dolla, oh lord, can you please give me a sign? Ready or not, I'm going till I get a deal So I can pay for meals with the fam that I kill fo' Yeah, no Jerusalem but the pain is real, though This life a bitch without a doubt, dawg But I ain't flinchin' like Kobe did with Mad Dog Ice cold, I got the ice in my veins Mobber mentality, Kobe face Lord knows if I'm gon' grow old You only live once, might as well go for broke I don't wanna regret when the spirits take me home So I push through every ache that's in my bones Growin' pains Yeah, growin' pains On days where we barely got to eat Stomach growlin' while we sleep, but still skeet skeet skeet Boy, that's growing pains Yeah, growing pains On days where we under nineteen but we got a bag of weed And two bottles of a OE Boy, that's growing pains Yeah, growing pains Havin' nights where I'm going too wild to fall to the temptations of the lifestyle Boy, that's growing pains Yeah, growing pains Yeah, yeah, growing pains
