Growing Pains (feat. Above Average)

[Verse 1: Louis Strongarm] Ever since i was kid always dreamed big To be big no dad around for me to teach it Only twenty six already laid more bricks than he did Reached higher hights n i ain't even peaked yet Kind of a shame the way we lived now i decide how me is No jumping off point provides a certain sense of freeness Choose to live life the cleanest keeps my mind keenest Not the leanest no christian bale in the machinist Listen well no wishin well will keep us from mission failed It leads to fish tailin pissin in a prison cell Shits gettin stale work for it bliss is real Stop dissin girls chasin tail n tellin tales of missin heels Not ashamed to kiss n tell witnessed hell with this girl I lean a little even still should learn to do it yourself Always pitch in help smarter than a chick enrolled in yale Fortunately male doin stupid shits my sisters deal Back in the day i was young im not a kid anymore And no way do i wish i was a kid again Back in the day i was helpless but not anymore And these days im kinda proud of the way i live Vowed not to let it slip through my grip now tasted it Wouldn't trade it for the world no brainer like aces split Almost cowered and bowed out at the gates of it But louder then the crowd around me i powered through n faced this shit [Verse 2: Above Average] I’m gettin older, gotta chip on my shoulder Time’s are gettin colder but my rhymes I’m spittin bolder Smoldering coals glowin in the eyes of the beholders Who know they’re almost done, puttin miles on their motors Man I’m sick of aquirin growing pains It feels wrong like Lex Luther with Louis Lane I’m bout to go insane, because I’m bodin change Evokin chokin in my throat and still no one blame Ya see I never wanna age Gotta that Peter Pan swag nearly lifted off the page Gifted some may say I say thanks and then I’m on my way Huh, it makes me think "Am I worth of their praise?" Back in the day I couldn’t rap so I was always ignored But someday I knew that I would go pick up a pen Back in the day I used to slack but see now that was before That one day where I grew up and then became a man And became a man I did But I, still reminisce about being a little kid And I’m, not gonna lie it’s somethin I really miss Like chillen with friends Always makin amends I’d play video games And then pass out in bliss [Verse 3: Louis Strongarm] I know the difference between real life n never never land In one im a clever boy but here i am a clever man Never step between me and my several plans Or ill cut you off quick like captain hooks severed hand The tick tock of the clock got me stressin But if times a test then i hope i learned the lesson [Verse 3: Above Average] And since time travel is outta the question Ill lay my past to rest treat childhood as a blessin
