Growing Pains
Lexii Alijai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I don't want it, I don't want it)
(I run from it, I run from it)
Yeah, uh, yo, look

It's a cold world
My nigga cheated I caught him fuckin' with ol' girl
I'll never be enough, even though I'm so thorough
But niggas wanna eat they cake
And have the whole world
I'm growing up, and I'm moving up a bra size
Understanding when niggas tell me it's all lies
Shoot for it, 'cause I'll be damned if the ball lie
Twenty-seven red bottoms sitting court side
Ain't nobody sitting with me but, my brother though
He be with me, and my sister be where my mother go
Overcoming all the changes that we undergo
You should've listened when I told you I was gonna blow
But, I don't blame you I know everybody saying that
But, it's a difference when you know what people saying wack
I be speaking real shit, spitting real facts
Female spitting like a nigga, finna kill rap

(I don't want it) and, I just killed that
(I don't want it) felt within
Is the type of shit that you pull back, yeah (I run from it)
Real rap, nigga real rap (I run from it)
Yeah I know you feel that (I don't want it)
(I don't want it)
(I run from it) verse two
(I run from it) uh, yo, look, uh

And, it's my year right now
Everybody that's important to me, here right now
Spit the shit that the world need to hear right now
And, all the lil' girls in high school could feel right now
Uh, I took a break from rappin, just to focus on my health
Was really in the gym, I had to focus on myself
How could you blame me for being human? I'm only me
Word is bond, I'ma make it, and you gon' see
What you gon' do when you see me up on your television?
Lexii, the hottest in they city, what they fail to mention
Even though I don't need nobody to stamp me
Plan A gon' work, fuck a plan B
Say she fuckin' with Lexii, but nah, she can't be
Blind to the bullshit, like I can't see
And, I been working on this mixtape
And, at the same time
I been out here tryna get my shit straight

Yeah, tryna get my shit straight
Same time I been working on a mixtape
Lil' Lexii got a big plate, yeah





(I don't want it, I don't want it) growing pains
(I run from it, I run from it) uh, let it rock

Overall Meaning

In Lexii Alijai's "Growing Pains," she discusses the struggles of growing up and the challenges that come with it. The first verse discusses her experience of being cheated on, and feeling like she's not enough for someone even when she is thorough. She compares this feeling to wanting to have their cake and eat it too, implying that men can't make up their minds. Despite this, Lexii still grows up and matures, accepting that she can't change things that are out of her control. Throughout the song, she emphasizes her determination to succeed in the music industry and show her talent, even if people doubt her. She addresses the haters who don't take her seriously as a female rapper, promising to keep it real and continue to spit the truth.


Through the verses, Lexii communicates a lot of emotion and depth behind her lyrics. She's not just rapping about surface level topics but discussing real feelings and experiences that come with growing up. She mentions overcoming changes, focusing on her health, and being blind to the bullshit, all of which represent the obstacles she has faced in her life. The chorus expresses her ambivalence about wanting to grow up and confront her problems (I don't want it) but also feeling like she needs to avoid them because they cause her pain (I run from it). This paradoxical sentiment shows the complexity of her personality and journey.
