Grow Up lyrics

[Slowthai]

Raised in Midlands, don't know the half of

Why you keep your move on like Narcos

True rich champion, trim at the barbers

Used to get a board-up pack for a star

Out of order, every bathroom

Weighing up scores, got half for a bastard

Pints and peanuts the life I chose

Mice and his cheese, between foes and cones

One-fifty for a ninety-nine cone

Where's my change? Got changed on the road

Pop goes the weasel, gripping on your throat

Power like Lethal just curry goat

[?] emotion, bare pussy

Couldn't believe what I see and I just see a pussy

Couldn't try it with T 'cause T ain't a pussy

You slang B like a BB bullet

I was with Lloyd, unemployed, nonprofit

I was with Bows, selling O's out a cottage

Cream get the money then the cream got clotted

Had to leave Lings 'cause Lings was a [?]

Deal with the drought, I'll check into Norwich

Farmers are coming, I link with the Brummies

Anorak, so I got no worries

Fingers in the air for my brothers on porridge

Apply the pressure like Uncle Bully

Just like you, fam, I used to get bullied

'Til I dragged them down by their hoodie

Kicking and screaming like, "Go get your mummy"

Thought I was bummy, had to get money

Entrepreneurs sell wraps to a mummy

Always had a laugh when nothing wasn't funny

Hop out the thugs like my name's Bugs Bunny

Growing up too fast

Nothing don't last

And you can't move forward

If you're stuck in the past

Growing up too fast

Nothing don't last

Said we can't move forward

If we're stuck in the past

[Jaykae]

Raised in Small Heath like Tommy Shelby

Past my south blood, nobody helped me

Chicken and chips every day ain't healthy

Ain't had it hard if your mum and dad's wealthy

Back then fiends might ask for a fix

Right now it's fans asking for a selfie

There I got a voice in my head and it tells me

To give a man a smile on his face from Chelsea

I used to buy a cheese, that was four one fours

Now I get the weed out when I'm on tours

Used to be fist fights, now they want swords

Volley a man's head with my rapports

[?] to find baseball bats

Tell a officer I brought man the wrong sports

Don't make 'em like me no more bredrins

Dem man are playing and I'm like concourse

Can't get a ten deck so I get twenty

Tryna make the whole country smoke plenty

Can't tell a badman there's no entry

Bang, bang, bang 'til the whole place empty

Still thank God every day I can emcee

Just so nothing on the roads don't tempt me

I ain't met no one who lived to a century

I think smoking's fucked up my memory

[Slowthai]

Growing up too fast

Nothing don't last

And you can't move forward

If you're stuck in the past

Growing up too fast

Nothing don't last

Said we can't move forward

If we're stuck in the past

You looked up to me, you see

So why waste your life tryna grow up when you can enjoy every moment

You know what I'm saying?

Don't get old

Be bold

Don't get told

Be bold

Raised in Britain, no you isn't

Soft like kitten, I'm tough like Simmon

Kitchen sieving

Billy and Knotts and nothing ain't sitting right

Raised in Britain, no you isn't

Soft like kitten, I'm tough like Simmon

Kitchen sieving

Billy and Knotts and nothing ain't sitting right
