Getting Older Lyrics

I'm getting older i'm getting older
i'm getting older i'm getting older

i had big dream
big money big name
house with a pool and a bentley to my name
but i was just another kid growing up in the hood
and every body's looking down like who are you supposed to be
i kept on writing anyway
a hard headed brat
glad i proved you wrong standing taller than you are
yeah i made it pass the bars push the mountains face my fairs
and now am at the top all grown feeling like

i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world with the weight up on my shoulders
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world

i'm a proud one i'm a soldier
my buddy's got my back and they ain't backing down
i fight with all my dignity i love it it's my destiny
so go tell all you're dogs we don't fuck around
no more sitting round hoping praying food on the table
praying won't make it through another day
it ain't about the words
it ain't about the faith
got this big heart pumping i ain't bout to brake
yeah i know i'm just another holding mic up like some rapper
but i've been through most and i've seen most
and i know i spit a lot of crap but lyrical in every way
i can make your heart race your heart beat

i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world with the weight up on my shoulders
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world

i thought i knew it all sweet sixteen
then i grow a little taller got a little bit smarter
and my dad is still a broke man
smoking drinking all the time just to ease the pain away
reminisce about the pain
now and i got the remedy
i come up with the melody
i can make your heart race

i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world with the weight up on my shoulders
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different light laying strait in front of me
i'm getting older, i'm getting older
i can see a different world
