JayCab - Grew Up Too Fast

Grew up too fast, yeah
But I ain't alone though (JayCab)
It's all of us
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last (trying to make it last)
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back (I can't take back)
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am (I know who I am)
I know who I am
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last (trying to make it last)
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back (I can't take back)
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am (I know who I am)
I know who I am
Y'all woulda thought that I didn't know
It's typical
Alright so maybe I fought to fit in
At a young age JayCab had to make every decision
Cuz where I'm living
Ain't a role model took their position
Nobody with the guidance
I was depending on anything to shape my thinking
And if it ain't drug dealing it's banging the set (what's up)
Holding up them signs like protests
Homies leave and come back crooked, some scoliosis
And making it through is what we know best
And we pray for the life with no stress
And the fear's gonna leave you hopeless
Battling every odd I wrote this
Tryna put the pain behind us
Little Jay watching Pocahontus
Then I lost homies to needles even that poke will haunt us
They say I know you in there
That child in you living scared
What'd you do to make it here
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last (trying to make it last)
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back (I can't take back)
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am (I know who I am)
I know who I am
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last (trying to make it last)
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back (I can't take back)
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am (I know who I am)
I know who I am
I spent my life looking for the answer
Taught that a body count make the man up
Morals tainted by who I looked up
Chasing hoes like the Maury camera
I never took any time to learn about what she may be feeling pressure wise
Not knowing the other side
Is potentially tougher than mine
Now she in the car and she doing coke
Said chill it's a bump in the road
Hard time for her to learn her worth
Momma would judge her through every word
And now got a void just to be accepted
Planted in her from adolescences
Said it's hard to mask depression then hides it all seeking affection, woah
We made it this far and it's something to show
Often mistaken that we wouldn't grow
Escaping a life that was never a home
All we had was right now no comfort in sight
And we had to fight now through every night
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am
I know who I am
We grew up too fast
Had to put that work in
Trying to make it last (trying to make it last)
Had to raise myself did things I can't take back
Trying to slow this down but I know who I am
I know who I am
Grew up too fast, yeah
