Lyrics:


Chorus:

When I was growin up,
I couldnt see
Everything that u were doin for me
When I was growing up
All I did was complain
But I want you to know
That i do appreciate

Verse 1:

When I was growing up, we werent a very wealthy family
My parents were tryin hard, to raise me steadily
Out at work till midnight, comin home tired, startin to fight
Things werent lookin right, when were we going to see the light
But I was just a little kid, in elementary school
Had no idea what my parents did, how they worked like fools
Barely had any money, but bought me things they couldnt afford,
Did everything to make me happy, but all I did was ask for more
Shaheem I just bought you something But mommy now its a bore
Daddy can I have that? Only one? no I gotta have four
And u still got it for me, bought it for me,
And to say thank you? who wouldve thought it, not me
And now I regret it, and Im never gonna forget it
I wish I could go to the past, just to correct it
But its impossible, meaning its not possible
But I just hope my way of sayin thank you, is applausible

Verse 2:

When I was growing up, I had to stay home alone
My parents were always out working, couldnt even talk on the phone
They were out, leaving not just me, but my brothers too
Can you imagine how thats like for a mother to do?
Leavin her two baby boys, with a babysitter
They just sit and play with toys, leavin memories so bitter
I know it was hard for her, but she had a strong heart
I bet you no other mother, would wanna play this part
And now I just feel bad for my brothers
They didnt get as much love as I did from our mother
And now they even lost their father
I could talk for hours bout this, but why even bother
You cant change the past, but you can think ahead
All of this happened so fast, how bout lets go slow instead
How bout lets be ready and expect
So when the worst happens, we dont lose our heads
