Gettin' Grown Lyrics - Cee-lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections - Cee-lo

Well, well 

Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay 

You have to evolve inevitably 

And I've sure come a long way 

The road up ahead is so unclear 

Back slidin' down the bottom of beer 

Nobody knew if I would make it here 

And hey sweet music set me free 

From the statistic that I started to be 

I wish my mama was alive to see 

The memories of the pain have scarred 

And when I fall it's usually hard 

But I get up and keep followin' God 

Hey, I'm gettin' grown, gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown hey 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Now I remember the good ol' days 

Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze 

Now I got three children to raise 

I-I-I never won't be perfect I know 

But workin' on it is worth it I know 

Life is just learning as you go 

Been selfish once or twice 

I had to learn how to sacrifice 

To live to my late nineties'd be nice 

Every day that goes by I find 

It either hits me or it robs me blind 

God I owe You this life of mine 

I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Gettin' grown, gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Ooh, time changed but it feels the same 

There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring 

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang 

And hey hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay 

But thanks for wakin' me up today 

Prepare me for what may come my way 

And hey say, young man, there's no need to cry 

Because I know you will get by 

Look your destiny in the eye 

Ooh everyday my heart burns to try 

You got to walk before you learn to fly 

And we all got to earn to die 

I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Gettin' grown, gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Gettin' grown, gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la) 

Gettin' grown, gettin' grown 

(La la la la la, la la la la la)
