Rush Sturges - Growing Up (feat. Sapient & His Kids)

They say that fear of death is normal
But fear of aging is cultural
Why not embrace the changes?
We can't control getting older
The hands of time might take their toll
But sometimes it's for the best
Cause when my hangovers got worse
I just started partying less
You can neglect or accept it
But we all must face the truth
Still I'm looking in the mirror
Like what the fuck happened to youth?
But dude just smile
A body should be used and weathered
You can't tell me it gets worse
When the truth is it just gets better

Cause I ain't growing up
I'm staying young
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And even through these losses
I'm bouncing back stronger
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And I ain't growing up

Well I'm not an old man
But I'm also not a spring chicken
But it's the life within your years
And with that I'm rocking a million
I'll be the first to admit it
My body's starting to hurt
I creak and crack more these days
Than the floor of an old church
But if birth is the beginning
And death just completes this cycle
Then I'm somewhere in between
My expiration and arrival
Bottom line is I'm still having one hell of a run
And I'm not settling down son
I'm just leveling up

Cause I ain't growing up
I'm staying young
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And even through these losses
I'm bouncing back stronger
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And I ain't growing up

Well I still got a hit list
But keep hitting the injured list
And I don't get up quite as quick
But I don't give up
I don't quit
I will always be a kid
Until these limbs burn into earth
I'm still giving it my all
For what impermanence is worth
I've been hurt and beat down
Earned a few extra miles
And you can see the good times
By the wrinkles in his smile
But while this life can weather me
It could never take my passion
So when they're like "You're getting old."
Just say no I'm straight classic

Cause I ain't growing up
I'm staying young
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And even through these losses
I'm bouncing back stronger
After all is said and done
Age is a state of mind
And I ain't growing up
