jack rootes - grow up lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was 14, i took interest in rap
all the beats, bars, flows, all of that
that was when it started, all of my dreams
see those on stage, imagined it was me
basking in glory, with every rhyme i wrote
thousands of fans watching me every show
unique from the crowd, plenty of distinction
rollin’ in dough like my name was homer simpson
after a while, i got down to writing
but when it came to spitting, i was far from gliding:
the rhymes were lacking, my flows inconsistent
but i kept pushing, despite the resistance
found myself a studio and started rеcording
my flows got better, things werе distorting
to the point that maybe if i kept going
then i could make it, as i kept growing
[hook]
finally i see
there is more
to life
than just the music
so maybe it’s time
that i now go
on and
finally grow up
[verse 2]
a few years passed, found some moderate success
endless beats and bars i used to express
various stories, emotions and feelings
various lyrics with so many meanings
wanted so bad to make it, i had to try
’cause every song i did filled me up with pride
but over time, i became addicted
constant thoughts of music became afflicted
onto my mind, and that was all i cared about
instead of looking for some jobs that may be ’round
hopin’ that one of my tracks will somehow blow
and i’d get big. it sounds childish, i know
it was only when the pandemic hit
that i realized that i didn’t have to quit
making music, but i had to find a balance
to find a job and to work on my talents
[verse 3]
fast forward, this is where i am now
my balance still hasn’t yet been found
these days, i struggle to stay motivated
wondering if i will love it or hate it
if i put out another long project
since i feel i’ve got low prospects
of actually making it in the game
wanna be happy, i don’t care about the fame
sure, it’s fun while i work on the rhymes
but it isn’t if i’m doing it all the time
so now i care not if i never blow up
’cause now it’s time i finally grow up
as i grow old, i can now finally see
i make music, i don’t let it make me
so many areas in life i can explore
happiness in life is now what i aim for
[hook] (x2)
