Growing Up ft. Sapient & His Kids Lyrics

They say that fear of death is normal

But fear of aging is cultural

Why not embrace the changes?

We can't control getting older

The hands of time might take their toll

But sometimes it's for the best

Cause when my hangovers got worse

I just started partying less

You can neglect or accept it

But we all must face the truth

Still I'm looking in the mirror

Like what the fuck happened to youth?

But dude just smile

A body should be used and weathered

You can't tell me it gets worse

When the truth is it just gets better

Cause I ain't growing up

I'm staying young

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And even through these losses

I'm bouncing back stronger

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And I ain't growing up

Well I'm not an old man

But I'm also not a spring chicken

But it's the life within your years

And with that I'm rocking a million

I'll be the first to admit it

My body's starting to hurt

I creak and crack more these days

Than the floor of an old church

But if birth is the beginning

And death just completes this cycle

Then I'm somewhere in between

My expiration and arrival

Bottom line is I'm still having one hell of a run

And I'm not settling down son

I'm just leveling up

Cause I ain't growing up

I'm staying young

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And even through these losses

I'm bouncing back stronger

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And I ain't growing up

Well I still got a hit list

But keep hitting the injured list

And I don't get up quite as quick

But I don't give up

I don't quit

I will always be a kid

Until these limbs burn into earth

I'm still giving it my all

For what impermanence is worth

I've been hurt and beat down

Earned a few extra miles

And you can see the good times

By the wrinkles in his smile

But while this life can weather me

It could never take my passion

So when they're like "You're getting old."

Just say no I'm straight classic

Cause I ain't growing up

I'm staying young

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And even through these losses

I'm bouncing back stronger

After all is said and done

Age is a state of mind

And I ain't growing up
