1
They say boys don't cry
2
But your dad has shed a lot of tears
3
They say I should be a strong man
4
But baby, I'm still filled with fear
5
Sometimes I don't know who I am
6
Sometimes I question why I'm here
7
I just wanna be a good dad
8
Will I be I have no idea
9
They say girls shouldn't be tough
10
And moms should raise their kids at home
11
But baby, I know that that isn't true
12
'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know
13
I wanna raise you to be like her
14
And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
15
I'm still tryna figure out who I am
16
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
17
I'm gonna be there for your first breath
18
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step
19
I can promise you that I'll try to work less
20
But the tour's routed, and I got this album
21
Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
22
To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
23
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime
24
But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time
25
I won't spoil you, you can trust that
26
For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass
27
Had your heart broken, been there, done that
28
I love you and I can't give you enough of that
29
Get back to community that raised you up
30
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun
31
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come
32
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love
33
Don't try to change the world, find something that you love
34
And do it every day
35
Do that for the rest of your life
36
And eventually, the world will change
37
I'll be patient, one more month
38
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
39
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
40
I'm the person you become
41
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
42
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
43
I'm still growing up
44
I recommend that you read The Alchemist
45
Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
46
Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence
47
And every day, give your momma a compliment
48
Take your girl to the prom
49
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo
50
Slow dance with your woman in your arms
51
Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe
52
Don't wake your mom up,do yoga, learn 'bout karma
53
Find God, but leave the dogma
54
The quickest way to happiness learning to be selfless
55
Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
56
Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac
57
Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
58
Wear a helmet, don't be stupid,jaywalk, but look before you do it
59
If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help
60
Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts
61
Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
62
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
63
Take risks, 'cause life moves so fast
64
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
65
I'll be patient, one more month
66
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
67
Times are changing, I know, but who am I
68
If I'm the person you become
69
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
70
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
71
I'll be patient, one more month
72
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
73
Times are changing, I know, but who am I
74
If I'm the person you become
75
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
76
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up
77
If I'm still growing up
78
I'm still growing up, ooh
79
I'm still growing up
80
I'm still growing up
