lyrics

It was yesterday, I was rolling with my crew
Thinking we were bullet proof, didn’t give a damn
Now it’s hot coffee instead of cold brew
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man
I reminisce about the women that I knew
Beautiful was love but I didn’t understand
Beauty fades away / had to turn my point of view
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man


Back in school, you and I would act a fool
Now everything has changed, I am actually practical
Overall, I could say I’m doing well
Considering I killed about a million brain cells
No longer carded when I buy alcohol
Only worry that I have is my high cholesterol
Hard to believe that I made it this far
I thought in 2010 that I would drive a flying car
The more things change they really stay the same
I’m the person that I was prologue to the game
The only difference is I tap more ass
Perhaps cause I sport a bad ass porn ‘stache


It was yesterday, I was rolling with my crew
Thinking we were bullet proof, didn’t give a damn
Now it’s hot coffee instead of cold brew
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man
I reminisce about the women that I knew
Beautiful was love but I didn’t understand
Beauty fades away / had to turn my point of view
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man


I remember back when / cruising on my schwinn
Wind on my back with the sun on my skin
Dirt bike trails we would ride forever
Blood sugar sex magic red hot chilli peppers
Boys II Men blaring from my walkman head phones
sun went down I would start to head home
Clockwork school, home work, basketball
And every weekend we would kick it at the mall
I remember back when / Michael Jackson
still had black skin / it was simple back then
Before Rodney King got his head bashed in
Before Scott Baio was a has been

It was yesterday, I was rolling with my crew
Thinking we were bullet proof, didn’t give a damn
Now it’s hot coffee instead of cold brew
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man
I reminisce about the women that I knew
Beautiful was love but I didn’t understand
Beauty fades away / had to turn my point of view
And that’s how I knew I was a Grown Ass Man
