You Grew Up - Oddisee[00:00:00]

Let me take it back to my childhood[00:00:32]

When six flags was still called wildwood[00:00:34]

Where I had every race as a neighbor[00:00:36]

We were all working class trying to make it out of our hood[00:00:38]

My best friend back then was a white kid[00:00:40]

We was tight he liked the same things I did[00:00:42]

Despite us being different colors man[00:00:44]

We were tight as elmer's and we called each other brothers[00:00:46]

While I was trying to keep my nikes clean[00:00:47]

He was trying to scuff his chucks up[00:00:50]

He was grunge I was fresh we were young[00:00:51]

And we cuss along to rap trying to sneaking into punk clubs[00:00:53]

But things changed when his pops got laid off[00:00:55]

He blamed my father for the loss of his job[00:00:57]

He said immigrants robbed citizens jobs[00:01:00]

And I better never set foot again in his yard[00:01:01]

As we became adults in a cult called america[00:01:04]

He got himself a job as an officer of law[00:01:06]

My thoughts got blacker and his views got cracker[00:01:07]

There was no way backwards to the roots at heart[00:01:09]

Many years apart I recognized him in the news[00:01:12]

He shot a black man that was sitting in his car[00:01:13]

Near the same park where we used to shoot hoops[00:01:16]

And all I could blame was the cause[00:01:18]

You grew up[00:01:19]

No you didn't change[00:01:22]

You were made the same[00:01:24]

As those before you came[00:01:26]

You grew up[00:01:27]

All our growing pains[00:01:30]

Were given like our names[00:01:32]

You just bought the blame[00:01:34]

You grew up[00:01:36]

No you didn't change[00:01:38]

You were made the same[00:01:40]

As those before you came[00:01:42]

You grew up[00:01:44]

All our growing pains[00:01:46]

Were given like our names[00:01:48]

You just bought the blame[00:01:50]

You grew up[00:01:51]

You ever have a friend that became a fanatic[00:01:52]

Most of you all haven't[00:01:54]

But if you ever did[00:01:55]

You'd understand the one thing they all have in common[00:01:56]

That somebody took advantage of their damage as a kid[00:01:57]

I knew a guy who's folks were professors[00:01:59]

Proof in the flesh that allah was a blesser[00:02:01]

Grew up in a mid western town[00:02:03]

Where there weren't many brown people he could seek reflection[00:02:05]

Got picked on in school during lectures[00:02:07]

Graduated hating everybody in his class[00:02:09]

Picked on because he prayed five to the east[00:02:11]

And he didn't eat meat that allah said was bad[00:02:13]

One day a man approached him in a mosque[00:02:16]

Changed his life when he asked him a question[00:02:17]

Do you ever feel your life was a loss[00:02:19]

And what if I could teach you that life is a weapon[00:02:21]

Attracted strong to the feeling of acceptance[00:02:24]

He was soon gone with delusions of a cause[00:02:25]

People of the present had faces of the past[00:02:27]

Make it easier to blast them if he feel they did him wrong[00:02:29]

You can raise a child in a house full love[00:02:32]

But can't keep them safe in a world full of hate[00:02:33]

So he blew up[00:02:36]

The only mistake that could hold all the blame[00:02:37]

You grew up[00:02:39]

No you didn't change[00:02:42]

You were made the same[00:02:44]

As those before you came[00:02:46]

You grew up[00:02:48]

All our growing pains[00:02:50]

Were given like our names[00:02:52]

You just bought the blame[00:02:54]

You grew up[00:02:55]

No you didn't change[00:02:58]

You were made the same[00:03:00]

As those before you came[00:03:02]

You grew up[00:03:04]

All our growing pains[00:03:06]

Were given like our names[00:03:08]

You just bought the blame[00:03:10]

You grew up[00:03:11]

My heart's a jug and when I was born it was filled with love[00:03:12]

It ranneth over life ran me over till I spilled the blood[00:03:16]

I poured the cups and I left it up you to say enough[00:03:20]

Never ending never quenching I sealed it up[00:03:24]

Tried to change my reality but settled for real enough[00:03:28]

Life is better when you're thinking lesser go on give it up[00:03:32]

When I was younger I was so determined[00:03:35]

I would change it all couldn't fly but wasn't chained to fall[00:03:36]

So where is it I put the blame and cause[00:03:40]

Well I grew up[00:03:42]
