《You Grew Up》歌词

[00:00:00] You Grew Up - Oddisee

[00:00:32] Let me take it back to my childhood

[00:00:34] When six flags was still called wildwood

[00:00:36] Where I had every race as a neighbor

[00:00:38] We were all working class trying to make it out of our hood

[00:00:40] My best friend back then was a white kid

[00:00:42] We was tight he liked the same things I did

[00:00:44] Despite us being different colors man

[00:00:46] We were tight as elmer's and we called each other brothers

[00:00:47] While I was trying to keep my nikes clean

[00:00:50] He was trying to scuff his chucks up

[00:00:51] He was grunge I was fresh we were young

[00:00:53] And we cuss along to rap trying to sneaking into punk clubs

[00:00:55] But things changed when his pops got laid off

[00:00:57] He blamed my father for the loss of his job

[00:01:00] He said immigrants robbed citizens jobs

[00:01:01] And I better never set foot again in his yard

[00:01:04] As we became adults in a cult called america

[00:01:06] He got himself a job as an officer of law

[00:01:07] My thoughts got blacker and his views got cracker

[00:01:09] There was no way backwards to the roots at heart

[00:01:12] Many years apart I recognized him in the news

[00:01:13] He shot a black man that was sitting in his car

[00:01:16] Near the same park where we used to shoot hoops

[00:01:18] And all I could blame was the cause

[00:01:19] You grew up

[00:01:22] No you didn't change

[00:01:24] You were made the same

[00:01:26] As those before you came

[00:01:27] You grew up

[00:01:30] All our growing pains

[00:01:32] Were given like our names

[00:01:34] You just bought the blame

[00:01:36] You grew up

[00:01:38] No you didn't change

[00:01:40] You were made the same

[00:01:42] As those before you came

[00:01:44] You grew up

[00:01:46] All our growing pains

[00:01:48] Were given like our names

[00:01:50] You just bought the blame

[00:01:51] You grew up

[00:01:52] You ever have a friend that became a fanatic

[00:01:54] Most of you all haven't

[00:01:55] But if you ever did

[00:01:56] You'd understand the one thing they all have in common

[00:01:57] That somebody took advantage of their damage as a kid

[00:01:59] I knew a guy who's folks were professors

[00:02:01] Proof in the flesh that allah was a blesser

[00:02:03] Grew up in a mid western town

[00:02:05] Where there weren't many brown people he could seek reflection

[00:02:07] Got picked on in school during lectures

[00:02:09] Graduated hating everybody in his class

[00:02:11] Picked on because he prayed five to the east

[00:02:13] And he didn't eat meat that allah said was bad

[00:02:16] One day a man approached him in a mosque

[00:02:17] Changed his life when he asked him a question

[00:02:19] Do you ever feel your life was a loss

[00:02:21] And what if I could teach you that life is a weapon

[00:02:24] Attracted strong to the feeling of acceptance

[00:02:25] He was soon gone with delusions of a cause

[00:02:27] People of the present had faces of the past

[00:02:29] Make it easier to blast them if he feel they did him wrong

[00:02:32] You can raise a child in a house full love

[00:02:33] But can't keep them safe in a world full of hate

[00:02:36] So he blew up

[00:02:37] The only mistake that could hold all the blame

[00:02:39] You grew up

[00:02:42] No you didn't change

[00:02:44] You were made the same

[00:02:46] As those before you came

[00:02:48] You grew up

[00:02:50] All our growing pains

[00:02:52] Were given like our names

[00:02:54] You just bought the blame

[00:02:55] You grew up

[00:02:58] No you didn't change

[00:03:00] You were made the same

[00:03:02] As those before you came

[00:03:04] You grew up

[00:03:06] All our growing pains

[00:03:08] Were given like our names

[00:03:10] You just bought the blame

[00:03:11] You grew up

[00:03:12] My heart's a jug and when I was born it was filled with love

[00:03:16] It ranneth over life ran me over till I spilled the blood

[00:03:20] I poured the cups and I left it up you to say enough

[00:03:24] Never ending never quenching I sealed it up

[00:03:28] Tried to change my reality but settled for real enough

[00:03:32] Life is better when you're thinking lesser go on give it up

[00:03:35] When I was younger I was so determined

[00:03:36] I would change it all couldn't fly but wasn't chained to fall

[00:03:40] So where is it I put the blame and cause

[00:03:42] Well I grew up
