If you’re under 21 You are too young for this content I’m way too grown to deal With anyone’s childish non-sense No need for back talk Or any smart-aleck comments If you don’t understand the concept Let me put it into context I’m a grown man And I don’t play childish games I give respect And I expect the same I don’t think you hear What I’m trying to convey When I grew up I put away my childish ways When I was young I spoke just like you Sharp tongued- loaded gun Quick and ready to shoot When I was young I was too immature to reason But wisdom came with time And rough, unpredictable seasons When I was young I didn’t understand All it took to be a man Never had a father To guide me with his hand So the idea of “Manhood” I couldn’t fully comprehend So to all of the young men out there This is all I’m really trying to say… It’s time to grow up and cast aside Your childish ways Be “man enough” to humble your self Get down on your knees and pray God will tell the kid inside of you, He doesn’t have to be afraid The pain of the past- must go Today's a brand new day Let him know it’s time to grow To be an adult... But his child-like joy can stay

Childish Ways
If you’re under 21 You are too young for this content I’m way too grown to deal With anyone’s childish non-sense No need for back talk Or any smart-aleck comments If you don’t understand the concept Let me put it into context I’m a grown man And I don’t play childish games I give respect And I expect the same I don’t think you hear What I’m trying to convey When I grew up I put away my childish ways When I was young I spoke just like you Sharp tongued- loaded gun Quick and ready to shoot When I was young I was too immature to reason But wisdom came with time And rough, unpredictable seasons When I was young I didn’t understand All it took to be a man Never had a father To guide me with his hand So the idea of “Manhood” I couldn’t fully comprehend So to all of the young men out there This is all I’m really trying to say… It’s time to grow up and cast aside Your childish ways Be “man enough” to humble your self Get down on your knees and pray God will tell the kid inside of you, He doesn’t have to be afraid The pain of the past- must go Today's a brand new day Let him know it’s time to grow To be an adult... But his child-like joy can stay
