lyrics

Chorus

Ya’ll out making some noise,
I’m on some making plan
Ya’ll out playing with toys
I’m on some buying land
Yo ya’ll just little boys
I’m on some grown man
I’m a grown man,
I’m on some grown man

Verse 1

When I was young I use to like to tear the club up
Make a liquor run, be the first to put a dub up
If you wanna fight, yo man it’s like what’s up
Always chillin’ with the girls tryna get some cut up
Fascinated with all types of things
Nightlife and all the hype it brings
The fast cars and all the diamond rings
But I’m a man so I put away the childish things
Looking for the devils pie, and I ate some
I was child, lucky I ain’t make one
After a while the little games ain’t fun
There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from
The older grow you know life ain’t fair
I’m a grown ass man, I gotta be prepared
The battlefield keeps changing gotta be aware
Might be a little worried but I’m never scared
Ladies I’m bringing men back, I know you miss us
Talkin’ ‘bout our feelings and real issues
And I’m never gonna call no other dude delicious
I’mma show the youngin’s how to act
I’mma fight against things that hold us back
I’m not gonna be the stereotype of being black
Cause I’m a grown man, to old for that
I feel luck, Cause these youngins are feelin’ me
But all this little boy hip-hop keeps killing me
So as a grown man I conduct positive energy
Cause the gift of gab is a right and a responsibility

Chorus

Verse 2

I’m a grown man, with a grown spine
Giving my fans a grown rhyme
And I can take care of what’s mine
Watching my plan come together with time
I ain’t in a hurry
I ain’t doing 95 when I’m riding dirty
I ain’t trickin’ on a girl I don’t care how pretty
I ain’t doin’ college night when I’m over thirty
I ain’t gonna cause a ruckus because I’ve got a crew
I ain’t playing games when there’s work to do
Getting use to this man it ain’t brand new
Follow along you can become one to
While you messing around with the boys on the block
I’m with grown men coming up with a plot
Ain’t saying that I am when I know that I’m not
I know my word is all that I got
Got grown stuff on my mind
Hear the same sex song a thousand times
Say what you want but it sounds like a crime
Who you trying to attract with them nursery rhymes
You got little girls, giggling and grinning
Spit a little game and you got their head spinnin’
Man that’s wrong you know you sinnin’
To immature to talk to grown women
Who ain’t goin’ for the parlor tricks
Who know about business and politics
Ain’t sweatin’ you don’t care how hard it gets
Ain’t leavin’ you don’t care how hard it gets
But them little girls keep playin’ tricks on your phone,
Call with number block giving you the dial tone
Soon one day you’ll be old an alone,
but not me, cause I’m way to grown
