Growin' Up- not edited: written by Me:
So many people countin on me, I do not even know where to start
Gotta maintain a good head, be a good girl, play sports and be smart
Theres so much pressure on me to do right, and right now its not that tough
But im leavin home, gonna be on my own, that could make things a lil rough
Ima be a lil girl, in a grown up world, but little only in size
Im 17 bout to graduate, and thatz a lil hard to realize
Gotta open my eyes and begin to see, that momma will not always take care of me
Im still in school now, but time is passin; and my childhood dayz are everlastin'
But only in my mind, cuz timez have changed, more responsiblites come along wit age.
Not lil thingz like cutting the grass, wakin up early to take out the trash,
cleanin....ur.... room, and washin spills: Time to get a job so u can pay some bills
Its gonna be a challenge but I think im cool; when bad things come to mind; just follow the rule
Not sayin ima angel, cuz ive done bad thingz; but ive done a lot of GOOD to earn my wingz.
ima fly away from this nest real soon and say 'Later' to the fam.
Live my life with no regrets: and jus be Who I am!
