If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts

If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help Wear a helmet, don't be stupid,jaywalk, but look before you do it Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac The quickest way to happiness learning to be selflessĪsk more questions, talk about yourself less Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoeĭon't wake your mom up,do yoga, learn 'bout karma Tell the truth, regardless of the consequenceĪnd every day, give your momma a complimentīut don't get too drunk hanging out the limo Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus Times are changing, I know, but who am I if You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my loveĭon't try to change the world, find something that you love Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun I love you and I can't give you enough of that Had your heart broken, been there, done that To be something that I can look back and I can be proud ofĭon't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTimeīut I've got a world to sing to and you at the same timeįor your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome I can promise you that I'll try to work lessīut the tour's routed, and I got this album I don't know if I'll be there for your first step

I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
