[length: 00:00]
[00:10.85]They say boys don’t cry
[00:13.95]But your dad has shed a lot of tears
[00:16.78]They say I should be a strong man
[00:19.57]But baby, I’m still filled with fear
[00:22.26]Sometimes I don’t know who I am
[00:25.07]Sometimes I question why I’m here
[00:28.26]I just wanna be a good dad
[00:30.52]Will I be? I have no idea
[00:33.52]They say girls shouldn’t be tough
[00:36.45]And moms should raise their kids at home
[00:39.14]But baby, I know that that isn’t true
[00:41.88]Cause your momma’s the toughest person I know
[00:44.85]I wanna raise you to be like her
[00:47.09]And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
[00:50.32]I’m still tryna figure out who I am
[00:52.88]I don’t wanna mess this up or do this wrong
[00:57.53]I’m gonna be there for your first breath
[01:00.08]I don’t know if I’ll be there for your first step
[01:02.65]I can promise you that I’ll try to work less
[01:05.33]But the tour’s routed, and I got this album
[01:08.17]Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
[01:10.77]To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
[01:13.95]Don’t wanna be a dad that’s living in FaceTime
[01:16.47]But I’ve got a world to sing to and you at the same time
[01:19.36]I won’t spoil you, you can trust that
[01:22.25]For your sweet 16, you get a bus pass
[01:25.36]Had your heart broken? Been there, done that
[01:27.72]I love you and I can’t give you enough of that
[01:30.49]Get back to community that raised you up
[01:33.03]Read Langston Hughes, I suggest “A Raisin in the Sun”
[01:35.85]Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon’ come
[01:38.44]You put the work in, don’t worry about the praise, my love
[01:42.08]Don’t try to change the world, find something that you love
[01:45.33]And do it every day
[01:46.92]Do that for the rest of your life
[01:49.74]And eventually, the world will change
[01:51.90]I’ll be patient, one more month
[01:57.58]You’ll wrap your fingers round my thumb
[02:04.77]Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
[02:09.32]I’m the person you become
[02:13.33]If I’m still growing up, up, up, up
[02:19.62]If I’m still growing up, up, up, up
[02:24.61]I’m still growing up
[02:27.19]I recommend that you read The Alchemist
[02:29.81]Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
[02:32.64]Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence
[02:35.48]And every day, give your momma a compliment
[02:38.45]Take your girl to the prom
[02:40.02]But don’t get too drunk hanging out the limo
[02:43.62]Slow dance with your woman in your arms
[02:45.98]Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe
[02:48.99]Don’t wake your mom up, do yoga, learn ’bout karma
[02:52.00]Find God, but leave the dogma
[02:55.59]
[02:57.73]The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless
[03:00.86]Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
[03:03.76]Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac
[03:06.79]Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
[03:09.52]Wear a helmet, don’t be stupid
[03:12.38]Jaywalk, but look before you do it
[03:14.68]If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help
[03:17.26]Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends till it melts
[03:20.23]Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
[03:23.13]You’re only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
[03:26.04]Take risks, cause life moves so fast
[03:28.57]You’re only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
[03:31.35]I’ll be patient, one more month
[03:36.59]You’ll wrap your fingers round my thumb
[03:43.98]Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
[03:48.13]I’m the person you become
[03:52.16]If I’m still growing up, up, up, up
[03:58.10]I’m still growing up, up, up, up
[04:05.17]I’ll be patient, one more month
[04:10.38]You’ll wrap your fingers round my thumb
[04:17.41]Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
[04:21.87]I’m the person you become
[04:26.00]If I’m still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
[04:31.65]If I’m still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
[04:37.64]I’m still growing up
[04:43.56]I’m still growing up, ooh
[04:46.48]
[04:48.97]I’m still growing up
[04:54.77]I’m still growing up
