Macklemore y Ryan Lewis - Growing up (con Ed Sheeran)

[Macklemore]
They say boys don't cry
But your dad has shed a lot of tears.
They say I should be a strong man
But baby, I'm still filled with fear.
Sometimes I don't know who I am.
Sometimes I question why I'm here.
I just wanna be a good dad.
Will I be? I have no idea.
They say girls shouldn't be tough
And moms should raise their kids at home
But baby, I know that that isn't true
Cause your momma's the toughest person I know.
I wanna raise you to be like her
And watch you show the world how to do it on your own.
I'm still tryna figure out who I am.
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong.
I'm gonna be there for your first breath.
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step.
I can promise you that I'll try to work less
But the tour's routed, and I got this album.
Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome.
To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of.
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime
But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time.
I won't spoil you, you can trust that.
For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass.
Had your heart broken? Been there, done that.
I love you and I can't give you enough of that.
Get back to community that raised you up.
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun".
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come.
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love.
Don't try to change the world, find something that you love
And do it every day.
Do that for the rest of your life
And eventually, the world will change.


[Estribillo: Ed Sheeran]
I'll be patient, one more month.
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb.
Times are changing, I know
But who am I if I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up.
I'm still growing up, up, up, up.
I'm still growing up.


[Macklemore]
I recommend that you read "The Alchemist".
Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus.
Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence.
And every day, give your momma a compliment.
Take your girl to the prom
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo.
Slow dance with your woman in your arms.
Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe.
Don't wake your mom up.
Do yoga, learn 'bout karma.
Find God, but leave the dogma.
The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless.
Ask more questions, talk about yourself less.
Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac.
Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop.
Wear a helmet, don't be stupid.
Jaywalk, but look before you do it
If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help.
Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts.
Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance.
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance.
Take risks, cause life moves so fast.
You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance.


[Estribillo: Ed Sheeran]
I'll be patient, one more month.
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb.
Times are changing, I know
But who am I if I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up.
I'm still growing up, up, up, up.
I'm still growing up.

I'll be patient, one more month.
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb.
Times are changing, I know
But who am I if I'm the person you become
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up.
If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up.


I'm still growing up.
I'm still growing up, ooh.
I'm still growing up.
I'm still growing up.
