Gettin Grown

Gettin grown... can't run, skip, jump... you know, play dumb or give excuses like I use to, ain't got no time to... gotta say on my movement cause time don't slow down, Naw, time doesn’t slow down for you! keep gettin grown, I can feel the development in my bones. I can feel my wounds healing, as new lashes reopen them... life is no longer a fairy tale, as if it ever was but now days, things gets real like T.V nothing 2-demintional and more life is 3D, everything high in definition with no real explanation bills, agreement, arrangement.... I’m getting grown with no youth to replace me, no seed to continue my legacy, no seed to keep my debt lingering! I’m getting grown, I wonder does my soul know what that mean... That soon we will have to give up this body... yeah I’m gettin grown, well old...lol!
