Reed Williams - Growing Pains

Thank god it's a new day, yeah
Get on my surf, I've been on a new wave, yeah
Been on my job, living out a suitcase, yeah
And yeah I've been broke; rather have a blue-face
Rather have a blue-face, fuck it I'm back, right back with a
New cadence, so fuck y'all we don't do famous
We the ones been a hundred like them blue-faces
We the ones poppin' bubbles til' we too faded
Won't front, Ima come up while they too jaded
And Ima write my name like it's new pavement
Just to say I did it, that I did it, yeah
I've been in it on my own, independent, yeah
Now I got a couple o's to my credit, yeah
I'm done worrying about, shit that ain't in my control
I done seen dirt, I'd seen broke, made a life of my own
And I never traded my soul
I've just been writing my wrongs
They help me writing the songs
I need no round of applause, yeah
But you better want it cause this shit ain't everything that you had thought, yeah
Cause every day I see more new faces
(New faces)
And everything I once knew is changing
(Changing)
Watching my friends becoming strangers
(Becoming strangers)
Never thought I'd get used to this, but this life, I'll take it
Cause if you with me I'd ride for ya
(Ride, right now)
Put it all on the line for ya
(On the line, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
Double up twenty splifs in the ashtray
If I finish six tracks, it's a bad day
Fuck they mean when talkin' bout a fast lane?
Switch shoes, they can't even meet half-way
Word to Quan, Ima do it for my last name
Fuck ya handshake, and ya mother-fuckin campaign
I won't listen if they in it for the damn fame
Twenty years later down, talking bout a bad-break
Take a trip down the coast, clear my head for a minute
Seen em tryna cop my plays, they just wanna take my place
But they don't know the dues I've paid
Crazy to see it all shifting
Word to Mike keeping me level, cause he saw the vision
Now them dreams we used to shovel a business
Watching my back, cause these cats act suspicious
But they ain't gonna trip me up
Always keep it moving even when it's rough
Open tab at Clifton's, Jaime in my cup
Catching haters slippin' tryna dab me up
We don't give a fuck
(Nah)
Sometimes I wish it would stand still
And I know that the glass is half-filled, but these nights gettin' mad-real
Cause every day I see more new faces
(New faces)
And everything I once knew is changing
(Changing)
Watching my friends becoming strangers
(Becoming strangers)
Never thought I'd get used to this, but this life, I'll take it
Cause if you with me I'd ride for ya
(Ride, right now)
Put it all on the line for ya
(On the line, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
Cause if you with me I'd ride for ya
(Ride, right now)
Put it all on the line for ya
(On the line, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
If you with me I'd die for ya
(Die, right now)
