Age ain't nothing but a number ain't that how the saying goes?
To call oneself a grown folk has nothing to do with how one grows
You could have a million birthdays & still not earn the label
Way to many think this true... but I'll prove it's just a fable

Grown folk mind their manners keep hurtful opinions to themself
They don't believe in putting others down ... to earn a trophy on their shelf
Grown folks can't be pressured... can care less if all can see
They live by their own morals don't need others to agree

Grown folk don't need the approval of others ... to know just who they are
They keep their distance from those who do... & just watch from afar
Grown folk take pride in who they are... they don't associate with those who don't They stand up for what they believe in... Even when everyone else won't

Grown folk know that all action will speak louder than any word
And the way one chooses to represent themselves Is really all that will be heard Grown folk take responsibility for all they say & do
The sooner you learn these rules...
The sooner you'll be grown folk too!!
