Lyrics
Yeah, growing up, yeah
Reflecting on the process of growing up
Know a lot but I don't know enough
Aware of a lot but feeling inadequate
What you doin' here?
Questioning someone's presence
Why you even showin' up? Yeah
Wondering why someone is showing up
Showin' up for tryna show me love
Expressing confusion about someone's love
Why you look confused like, you don't really know, what's up? Yeah
Perceiving someone as confused
Why you always tryna judge?
Noticing a tendency to judge
I know who you are, yeah
Recognizing someone's identity
Why you tryna tryna front, yeah
Questioning someone's authenticity
I am not the man I was, look
Acknowledging personal growth and change
Ay, made me a promise, I just hope you keep it
Hoping for the fulfillment of a promise
I don't like to get involved with things I don't believe in
Avoiding involvement in things lacking belief
I don't like to hang with people I don't trust to speak with
Choosing trustworthy companions
If you tell me that you mean it, then I hope you mean it
Valuing sincerity in communication
Yeah, feel like I don't deserve you when I hurt your feelings
Feeling undeserving when hurting someone
I'm vulnerable, you got the keys to open all my secrets
Expressing vulnerability and trust
You've always been there when I'm low to help pick up the pieces
Recognizing support in tough times
I know I act like I don't need it yet but lately I been thinking
Acknowledging a need for support despite actions
Yeah, lately I been thinking
Contemplating thoughts recently
Yeah, yeah, I have been thinking
Reiterating recent contemplation
Yeah, I have been thinking
Emphasizing ongoing introspection
Yeah, I wish, that I was optimistic
Expressing a desire for optimism
I wish that I could trust my intuition
Wishing for trust in personal instincts
To most negative thinking makes you a pessimist but
Challenging the perception of negative thinking
To me negative thinking means I'm just realistic
Defending a realistic view of negativity
That's how I feel, ain't that a twisted view?
Highlighting a twisted perspective
Claim that I don't care what people think but is that really true?
Questioning self-perceived indifference
Those the type of questions that I struggle with
Struggling with introspective questions
That's the type of thing to keep me up at night
Insomnia-inducing thoughts about life
Wondering I wonder if the pressure I've been under is too much for my shoulders
Speculating on the burden of pressure
Who gon' care when this all fades, I turn grey and get older?
Contemplating the future and aging
Yeah, that's the type of thing that I don't wanna answer
Avoiding difficult questions about the future
But just 'cause I don't wanna do it don't mean I don't have to
Recognizing obligations despite reluctance
See, these are lessons that you learn in life
Stressing the importance of life lessons
And we only get one of 'em, hope I'm learning right
Appreciating the singular nature of life
I know that everything comes with a price
Acknowledging the cost of everything
Yeah, yeah, everything comes with a price
Emphasizing the universal nature of consequences
Y'all got no clue what I have sacrificed and lately, I've been thinking
Highlighting personal sacrifices
Yeah, lately I been thinking
Reiterating recent contemplation
Yeah, yeah I have been thinking
Emphasizing ongoing introspection
Yeah, I have been thinking (I have been thinking)
Continuing the theme of recent thoughts
