You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

A boy in a man's body you ain't doin' nothin'

I know who you is boy you're Benjamin Button

Grew up as a young 'un in them city streets

Where the blind leading the blind at

You know what they die young

But so what they grow old not grow up

It's like a time lapse

But that's just how it is though

But he don't wanna die

He just don't know what it is to live though

'Cause daddy dipped when he was a kid

He's still alive but in his heart it's like he never lived

In hell is hurt that's just his pain

At night his mom can't pay the bills

She prayin' something change

Gas electric electric gas

Them the choices

That you make when you ain't got no cash

Tired of asking his momma for

Stuff he know he can't have

So he pitchin' in he gettin' it

You can find him out on that Ave

Sleeping with the gorillas

And wrestling with them bears

Average life span's around 25

Around here them boys they don't care I'm like

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

A boy in a man's body you ain't doin' nothin'

I know who you is boy you're Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button boy you're Benjamin Button

Say you're Benjamin Button

Boy you're Benjamin Button

Say you're Benjamin Button

Boy you're Benjamin Button

Say you're Benjamin Button

You just gettin' older

Grew up as a young girl in them city streets

Where the blind leading the blind at

You know what they die young

But so what they grow old

Not grow up it's like a time lapse

Momma clubbin' daddy thuggin'

You know what they on

It's like he here but he gone

But that's another song

She thinks she grown she just 16 going on 30

Since daddy left she vowed

“ I'll never let a man hurt me ”

Heard me Gucci Louis Fendi Prada

So she just use a man for a dollar

Makin' him holler

Pretty face body the flown

Use what she got get what she want

Just a child raised by a child

Momma was just a baby

Having a baby nobody taught her to be a lady

Now she a baby with a baby

Look at how she lived

Full grown but living like she a kid gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

A boy in a man's body you ain't doin' nothin'

I know who you is boy you're Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button Benja-Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button boy you're Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button boy you're Benjamin Button

Say you're Benjamin Button

You just gettin' older

When you say you're grown

You ain't grown 'cause of timing

It's 'cause you put them childish things behind you

When you say you're grown

You ain't grown 'cause of timing

It's 'cause you put them childish things behind you

When you say you're grown

You ain't grown 'cause of timing

It's 'cause you put them childish things behind you

When you say you're grown

You ain't grown 'cause of timing

It's 'cause you put them childish things behind you

I grew up as a young 'un in them city streets

Where the blind leading the blind at

You know what they die young

But so what they grow old

Not grow up it's like a time lapse

That's how it is when every man that you know

In the hood whippin' good

'Cause he pushin' that blow

And so we move how he move

Man you already know

Till the Lord touched my soul

Homie I wasn't grown

Just gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

You ain't growin' up boy you just gettin' older

A boy in a man's body you ain't doin' nothin'

I know who you is boy you're Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button Benja-Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button boy you're Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button boy you're Benjamin Button

Say you're Benjamin Button you just gettin' older
