Responsibility

(Jawad)

Growing up listening to my mother talking to me about the day when Imma become a man
(When you become a man)
Conversations with my father stressing the fact that life is a test One day youll understand
(Youll understand)
Saying We dont expect you to know any better right now but down the road things will change
(Things will change)
And as youre growing older gotta put more on your shoulders, so be strong through all the pain
(Strong through all the pain)
So basically all my life Ive been waiting for that day to apply all that my parents taught me
(My parents taught me)
Now Im starting to realize all the things they described are starting to creep up on me
(Creep up on me)
As long as Im aware of what is there, tomorrow will come and Ill be prepared
(Ill be prepared)
Another day will pass, I know that days approaching fast, gotta be responsible
(I gotta learn to be responsible)

(Chorus)

Gotta be careful with what I do
I gotta control what I say
Responsibility
Gotta learn to listen to that reasonable voice
Im bout to make my own choices
Responsibility

(Akbar)

Growing up pushed around, stressing now just to hold my ground but I gotta learn to swallow my pride
(Swallow my pride)
Just a boy grown too fast, forced himself to be a man, ready for the big sacrifice
(The big sacrifice)
My mother taught me how to get through life
I never had to give just sacrifice
Now I tried so hard just to build that trust
Head up, back straight, hands down now I must
Move on, with my head strong
Cant afford to make mistakes now Im grown
Gotta learn, to be ready for that burn
The respect I earn is here to stay
For the day I pray
Theres no way I could turn around
Gotta learn to live to accept my doubts
Surrounded by many conditions
I gotta take my time cuz now Im responsible
Responsible for my actions my choices my ways
Responsible for these days

(Jawad & Akbar)

Living in the present but the future is now
I gotta learn from the past gotta turn it around
Gotta realize that actions speak volumes
And now the younger generations copy all that I do
(So I gotta)

(Chorus)

Im responsible
Repeat 3x
I can take responsibility
