Growing up aint as easy I thought at all it'd be

see I was shy, walking the halls hoping they pardon me

and all da while I was slowly finding a part of me

needed help from the one that took part n starting me

called my dad up and told em about my bad luck

In da back of my mind I knew I had to get my stat up

avoiding all the things that wud prolly give me a bad look

hope it will be worth it when I throw that grad hat up

I guess you gotta live to learn, I got my lesson

but how many years to learn, its just a question

they say school is the best days but loans got em stressing

and I don't plan on paying hope the college get the message

like it's certain on me, no closing the curtains on me

chasing all the upper class chicks, that's for certain homie

but some were steady flipping and kicking they dirting on me

focusing on them but reject the ones that be flirting on me 

..it's quite clear, I doubt I should be reminded

but I still have decisions I never really decided

aint complicated, but still far from simple minded

if my life had controls, would I choose to rewind it?

....everything happens for a reason

if you patient like the sun, you'll get your shine when it's your season
