Grown
Damian Marley Lyrics
There's a lot of silly young girls wanna show off
And you're wishin' one day they will grow
But it's alright, it's alright
They only hear of the things that you know of
And you're wishing one day you will soar
But it's alright, it's alright
So let's have a talk
Like grownups do
Let's do the things that grown folks do
Me and you
Grown folks likeness
Big old man heartless
Watch it make me not this
Experienced fatness
Love it on the liners
Gong to the Zilla
I'm a monsta like a Loch Ness
Look how long mi locks is
All bills paid, all bets made
House well clean, all bugs sprayed
Vacation tripping, she ain't tripping
Island skipping, fine wine sipping
Gourmet cooking, no Facebooking
Nothing to see 'cause she ain't looking
Tag team masseuses, D-Brown's music
Natural juices, so therapeutic
Lips on my earlobe, softer than a q-tip
Getting kinda stony, actin' kinda stupid
Pretendin' we're in highschool, kissing at the movies
So do you're grown an' sexy, baby 'cause your awesome
See some likkle young girls, don' beg dem no pardon
Teach 'em how to walk, welcome dem to stardom
There's a lot of silly young girls wanna show off
And you're wishin' one day they will grow up
But it's alright, it's alright
They only hear of the things that you know of
And you're wishing one day you will soar
But it's alright, it's alright
So let's have a talk
Like grownups do
Let's do the things that grown folks do
Me, you
Early mornin' wake-up, springin' me the papers
Continental breakfast, smoked salmon an' capers
The eggs are over easy, you're puttin' on your makeup
We do some exercises, strolling through the acres
A mansion out in Gables, cottage in the Naples
Vineyards out in Bordeaux, horses in the stables
Baby we're connectedd, like TV is the cable
Like paper is to staple, like syrup is to maple
If Madonna's like a virgin, age is just a number
So tired of searching, gettin' weh my comfort
She feelin' kinda naughty, I'm feelin' kinda rumpish
She is my accomplice, we're gettin' things accomplished
Call ya by your last name, tell ya that your gorgeous
When I get around you I'm nervous till I'm nauseous
Tell me what's the holdup, baby 'cause I'm anxious
Both of us are grownups, drop your drawers to ankles
It's a lot of skinny young girls wanna show off
And you're wishin' one day they will grow up
But it's alright, it's alright
They only hear of the things that you know of
And you're wishing one day you will soar
But it's alright, it's alright
So let's have a talk
Like grownups do
Let's do the things that grown folks do
Me and you
And you're wishin' one day they will grow
But it's alright, it's alright
They only hear of the things that you know of
And you're wishing one day you will soar
But it's alright, it's alright
So let's have a talk
Like grownups do
Let's do the things that grown folks do
Me and you
Grown folks likeness
Big old man heartless
Watch it make me not this
