growin up

[xbuddhachildx]

I guess its a part of growin up when
Reds and yellows turn to black and white,
Realizing you're not so indestructable after all
And you've got everything to hide.
I guess its a part of growin up when
You start to take gambles that might
Once again break you
Learning to trust again, to move on with yo' life
Even though someone might forsake you.

I guess its a part of growin up when
You experience your firsts;
Kisses and hugs
Gettin drunk in the club,
With eyes all chinky
Comin' thru in a new cadillac on twinkies.
It's all a gamble in your youth when
Everything you stand for is at steak...
Piss-assed scared that
You'll make mistakes.

Take that bet, baby,
Show em what you got;
Tell the world you don't fuck around
You stand as firm as a rock.
Live and love, fight and die...
I'm grown but still young
Gonna live my life not wondering why
I didn't take those opportunities
Not gonna have regrets on
What life could be...

So be eager to prove that
You can stand on your own;
You might get knocked down
Once or twice,
But hey...you're grown.
