Glow up grow up


Cold morning sombers, Sippin on my coffee cup

Reminisce about days of old

Hot summer, hold up

Life never shimmers like it did back then, with that halo of gold

 

Each new day we plaster on our make-up

When i was young I never thought life could get so uncontrolled

Life always feels like you’re the runner up

Used to be there was so much to unfold

 

Now it’s here, im a grownup

Life comepletely different, tenfold

A turning point at that checkup 

Doc told me my ideals are fools gold

 

Suddenly life started to speed up

Im walking on a tight rope, theres a dark blindfold.

All these feelings start to build up

Life starts to unfold

 

Sometimes you just need to blowup

Work hard to get your foothold

You got this kid, just hold up

Everything you see is yours, behold

 

Ok girl you got this, stand up

Your whole story is still untold

Get out of that line up

Cant you see your still made of solid gold.
