I'm terrified, most these people don't care if I
Ever make it out, I be having self doubts
I don't wanna sell out, I just wanna be better
Than any other rapper you can find penning letters
But people think it's childish to make the pursuit
For me to go and act like I can find success what I do
But man, I understand it more, you pussies look like manticores
The way you try to doubt the shit you couldn't hold a candle towards
And it seems to me they're saying give up on the dream
With a degree, I'll be making C.R.E.A.M. when I'm 23
I'm not against the education, matter fact I'm all for it
But the motherf*ckers there talk to me like I was foreign
All the data that I'm storing in my head might surprise them
But now I'm off to work on better matters like Verizon
I'll be rising out the underground the greatest that you know
But in order to achieve it, you'll just have to let me grow
Let me grow!
Just don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
Just don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
Just don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
Just don't let me grow up yet!
See 'em from my eyeholes, all of my idols
Keep my head banging when I'm feeling suicidal
Beats sounded thinner than a thread in a needle eye
Now I got my f*cking music bumping like mosquito bites
Tell me plead the fifth, man I'm pleading the first
You gonna see me as the best before you see me in a hearse
All you motherf*ckers always got me thinking I'm the worst
When you always try to censor me like bleeping out a curse
But you gon' have to murder me, physically or verbally
Certainly nothing is as painful as your words can be
But they ain't really hurting me, man I'm feeling perfectly
Try to stunt my growth and I reverse it inadvertently
So try to put it in my head, it ain't gonna work
They telling me that I won't go far
They tell me "this is what you need, this is what you're good at
This is who you're gonna be and this is who you are"
Let me grow!
But don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
But don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
Let me grow!
But don't let me grow up yet!
Let me grow!
Just don't let me grow up yet!
