Maturity


Doing something you don't wanna do

It's called being an adult

 

Hearing something you wanna shut your ears to

But you gotta listen anyway

 

Giving advice...

                           And making sure you don't do the same shit

 

It ain't easy

It never will be

 

But it's not impossible

So, just do it

 

Grow up

 

Get rid of the baby teeth

Loose the training wheels

 

Put on your heels

And walk, don't trip

 

Make sure you don't trip

 

Because i won't be there anymore to catch you
