It’s all just a part of growing up Things are gonna be hard, but don’t give up It’s all just a part of growing up And we like to wish you all the best of luck (Ecstasy) Now growing up is a hell of a job The pay is good but the work is hard Sometimes you feel like you wanna quit And that’s when you remember this (Jalil) There ain't nothing new, under the sun What’s you doing now’s already been done Fifth period, I did the same as you I used to play cards in my lunchroom too (Ecstasy) Now I used to cut class Hanging out in the hall I tipped my hat to the Side cold playin the wall Because smoking in school was A against the rules So I did not smoke and I still was cool (Jalil) Now you get yours just like I got mine Wanna see you there at graduation time Fight your battles, don’t ever run Cause you win some and then you lose some (Ecstasy) Tell no more (Jalil) Blind man’s bluff (Ecstasy) That’s just what it’s like When you’re growing up (Jalil) These games I used to play as a kid Describe exactly the way I lived (Ecstasy) Run catch and kiss was a game I played But losing you was a mistake that I made I tried to have my cake and eat it too I guess that’s why you did what you had to do (Jalil) Sometimes, you got to be down and out Before you can understand what it’s all about I guess really, to understand the story You got to feel the pain as well as the glory (Ecstasy) And now that the shoe is on the other foot I really don’t like the way that it looks (Ecstasy and Jalil) It took us a while but we understand now That what comes around also goes around It’s all just a part of growing up Things are gonna be hard, but don’t give up It’s all just a part of growing up When you get to the point when you get fed up (Jalil) When I was 10, I used to say I was 12 When I turned 15 I was bad as hell When I was18 I was hanging out freakin’ I was cool at 18 no longer a delinquent (Ecstasy) I used to go to clubs with fake ID Who you laughin’ at you did the same as me Sometimes they’d let me in Sometimes they’d put me out I guess that’s what growing up was all about (Jalil) About phases and changes and re-arranges Growing up these days is getting dangerous (Ecstasy) Too many people taking not enough giving I’m just an average man just Trying to make a living (Jalil) And I don’t have to tell you That it’s hard as hell But this is my life and I live it well And when I get fed up all I do is shout "I may be down but I’m not knocked out!"
