Текст песни: Growing Pains + перевод

Well, there you have it, baby

Gentlemen, that’s the problem right there

It’s the everyday struggle we forced to face

This is one thing systematic racism

It’s how we need to grow through the pain

Ya, check it out

First things first, rest in peace to the old me (old me)

I guess they call it growin' up (growin' up)

If people wanna talk, let 'em talk

'Cause we headed to the top while they lookin' at us (look at us now)

If people wanna see us fall down, then so be it (so be it)

The only way to go is up (way up)

Look at all these people with their fists up

What they sayin'? «In minay we trust»

Remember what I said back in '03?

I don’t think you do 'cause we lowkey

We said we couldn’t make it off the rez

Now I wish I never said it 'cause I’m homesick

I’m homesick (homesick)

I dug my heels in the map with my veil on my back

Man it’s like I never went away

Worst comes to worst and we don’t make it

Man, it’s what they call growing pains

What’s the deal with the seventh generation?

I think they on the rise at the risk of elevation

Taken by an alien invasion, they faced it

Do you wanna ride inside of my spaceship?

Shotgun' to ya dome ridin' shotgun

Pedal to the metal with the world as a hostage

I found out who I am and they actin' like I lost it

Here’s the plot twist (check it out y’all)

We’re pullin' down the walls, we’re puttin' up our own gates

This my land, bitch you on the planet of the Nates

Big Dro said it first, I’m here to take his place

As the new kid on the block, fuck a waitlist

I done damage to my spirit tryna climb this avalanche

Bein' native to the land makes it hard to advance

In the white man’s where we up against up the man

And we gotta fight twice as hard to stand a chance (stand up)

Ya hear that? It’s what we’ve overcome

What’s been done to our people can’t be undone

I pray and I pray for better days (don't we all?)

But I hope the growing pains never go away

'Cause the pain disappears through the years, memories fade

It’s on us to keep the shit straight, I slay

I kill a man for what I got today

That’s why I hope the growing pains never go away

Don’t let the growing pains go away, go away

I hope the growing pains never go away, go away, go away

Don’t let the growing pains go away, yeah, go away

Please don’t let the growing pains go away, go away

Raw backwards on all of you rappers

I been raw backwards since I started rappin'

Wrappin' and unwrappin' up all’a these backwoods

Got you in the snapback out there walkin' backwards

Treat you like my fitted when her native goin' get some dirt on it

Here to smack yo ass in the trash, or smack the motherfuckin' dirt off it

Never rush that which’ll change ya future

You hold the key to the present, the present here’ll shoot ya

To the next plateau you gotta go

Never act out of line and you won’t get your skin sewn

They be actin' like you changed up

Funny how focus gets mistaken

For an eagle thinkin', «Oh, here he go

Native got some shine, nah, he ain’t our people»

Never forget where you started from

I guarantee I won’t forget where my start is, son

In the basement hopin' that my statements will change the face of the game

'Cause you know what race is

Facin' the struggle everyday

Poundin' a brickwall hopin' it’ll change

Shoutout to SNRK, and salute from the field of the growing pains

Uh, got this dream to be a rap star

Cruisin' up and down since the boulevard

Five deep with the minays up in the car livin' large

But I’m barely gettin' by with these gift cards

These days are gettin' tough but I embrace it

Put my troubles into paper, dawg, stayin' medicated

Never satisfied with basic, I’ma head up in the clouds

Lookin' down on this road that I’m takin', will I make it? (I don’t know)

Lifestyle of the rich and famous

Meanwhile I’ve been missin' a couple monthly payments

At the bottom of the food chain, dawg I hate it

I can’t explain it, my life feels fornicated

But I’ma get rich or I’ma die trying

My mama tell me that I’m bad with my money, well she ain’t lying

She ain’t lying, she ain’t lying, hell nah she ain’t lying, mama don’t lie

I wasn’t built for a life of crime so it’s time to figure out another way to

grind

I don’t care if it ain’t dolla, oh lord, can you please give me a sign?

Ready or not, I’m going till I get a deal

So I can pay for meals with the fam that I kill fo'

Yeah, no Jerusalem but the pain is real, though

This life a bitch without a doubt, dawg

But I ain’t flinchin' like Kobe did with Mad Dog

Ice cold, I got the ice in my veins

Mobber mentality, Kobe face

Lord knows if I’m gon' grow old

You only live once, might as well go for broke

I don’t wanna regret when the spirits take me home

So I push through every ache that’s in my bones

Growin' pains

Yeah, growin' pains

On days where we barely got to eat

Stomach growlin' while we sleep, but still skeet skeet skeet

Boy, that’s growing pains

Yeah, growing pains

On days where we under 19 but we got a bag of weed

And two bottles of a OE

Boy, that’s growing pains

Yeah, growing pains

Havin' nights where I’m going too wild to fall to the temptations of the

lifestyle

Boy, that’s growing pains

Yeah, growing pains

Yeah, yeah, growing pains
