(Jawad)
Growing up listening to my mother talking to me the day when Imma become a man (When you a man) Conversations with my father stressing the fact life is a test One day youll understand (Youll understand) Saying We dont expect you to know any better right now but the road things will change (Things change) And as youre growing older gotta put more on shoulders, so be strong through all the pain (Strong all the pain) So all my life Ive been waiting for that day to apply all that my parents taught me (My parents me) Now Im starting to realize all the things they described are starting to up on me (Creep up on me) As long as Im aware of what is there, will come and Ill be prepared (Ill be prepared) Another day will pass, I that days approaching fast, gotta be responsible (I learn to be responsible)
(Chorus)
Gotta be careful what I do I gotta control I say Gotta learn to listen to that voice Im to make my own choices
(Akbar)
Growing up pushed around, stressing now just to my ground but I gotta learn to swallow my pride (Swallow my pride) 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 I never had to give just Now I tried so just to build that trust Head up, back straight, hands down now I Move on, my head strong Cant afford to make now Im grown Gotta learn, to be for that burn The respect I earn is here to For the day I no way I could turn around Gotta learn to live to my doubts by many conditions I gotta take my cuz now Im responsible Responsible for my actions my choices my for these days
(Jawad & Akbar)
Living in the but the future is now I gotta learn from the gotta turn it around Gotta realize that speak volumes And now the younger generations all that I do (So I gotta)
(Chorus)
Im 3x I can take
