Classified - Growing Pains Lyrics

Huge fan, from south korea!!
love you class

I been listening to this since my sister was born, my father left us but man this song makes me have the balls to raise my lil sister like damn, I feel like I can be a really good father, shit I’m crying no cap

This is awesome

i cry everytime

such a well produced video

Mann what I'd give to have my baby girl sitting in that high chair again they grow up too fast

yeah they do

First heard this song a week after finding out my wife was pregnant with a girl 4 years ago. It became my theme song. Class keeps it real. Only 190K views is a travesty.

Lyrics
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause I know that things will change
Yeah I know that things will change
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause Tomorrow won't be the same
But tomorrow won't be the same

[Verse 1:]
I pull up to the traffic light, red light, coasting
Glancing the rear view as your eyelids slowly closing
Adjust the radio turn it lower and let your song play
Slowly go to sleep get some rest it's been a long day
I don't need too much I just want to make my kids proud
Wishing that her life can stay as peaceful as it is now
Nothing stays the same though, day in to day out
The forecast changes so you got to keep your raincoat close
I hope that you and your sister can work through the bruises and blisters
The sibling rivalry when you argue and bicker
Lot of pain lot of joy
You'll go through what I went through with her
Ain't nothing to it if you keep your family rooted, ughh
Don't grow up too quick
Enjoy the freedom when you're young before you lose it
You already trying to tell me that you a big girl
I'm scared as hell to let my little baby grow up in this big world
I will be asking where you're going who's your friends what you up to
Over protective but that don't mean I don't trust you
I just don't trust everybody you go party with
I've been in your position baby girl I know how hard it is

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]
And I know that you won't agree with my rules
Probably around the time you attending high school
I'll tell ya don't smoke, don't drink, or buy booze
You'll say that I'm a hypocrite cause I do it and get high too
But do you really wanna look and feel like I do?
At your age you don't want to walk in my shoes
Get up your marks get up your smarts get up your IQ
The real party it don't start until after high school
So don't stress who's popular and best dressed
Forget the peer pressure ain't no one to impress
Besides everyone in high school who seem cool
That's it; they usually never see their dreams through
There's so many right and wrongs when you raise a kid
I just want that father and daughter relationship
I know in time, that we'll argue and you'll hate me
But I pray to God you'll thank me,
Like dad I'm glad you raised me

[Hook]

💙💜💙💜💙

Some real shit right here!

dam how things have changed.... when I first heard YOUNG BLOOD , I never ever thought I would ever have a family or would ever want kids. Well as you can see where this is going , I now have an amazing 3 year old son that is growing up fast like everyone says. Your music has molded and inspired me in so many ways. I now listen to this song after neglecting to listen to this album for about a year. SO FUCKING DAM GOOD! i am a mountain climber and snowboarding and love hiking and can't wait to take my son out hiking and exploring , ... Your line , Every night we lay to rest so every morning is a rebirth , i've walked so many paths that my ankles and my feet hurt. I was always hands on , always wanted to be first , glad ive grown strong and did my research" - this hits me every time , I have lost many friends and colleges in the mountains and as the years go on and on i see everyone else back in the city sitting around doing nothing and lately I have been searching for other people who have been working hard , pushing themselves , trying to be good , and after seeing Powerless I noticed Classified is one of the greatest! keep doing good and keep making stuff with meaning! thank you so much Classified!

Love this song

another classic video from Mr. Classified

This song damn near made me stop breathing, honestly breathtaking. I thought this type of music became a dead end, but then I found you. Good songs man.

Best song ever...Classified is so real and deep this is Real HipHop!!!!!

Goosebumps all over. This is why I will never stop bumping class til the day i drop <3

I can't stop listening to this song , a dad of 3 children myself, A sweat but sometimes rebellious young girl and two boys in training.

great song! but does anyone else hear "sittin on the dock of the bay" by Otis Redding in the hook? intentional or...?

Most underrated artist in mankind history... Love you! I hope you get big one day

Ohio resident & fan of Classified. I hope he performs in Cleveland sometime this or next year. Much better than Machine Gun Kelly.

bring this back!

by far my most inspirational song that gets me to thinking of my daughter when I'm not around and makes me want to watch her grow up when I am around, as well if I had the chance to meet him in person I would want to thank classified for this song especially.

As a father of 2 little girls I love this song. Really hits me , one of class his best songs imo

Thanks for this Class!!!

Gives me the feels. Beautiful as the father of a Daughter.

hope you like it, bella :)

Damn beautiful! Loved the song even before I saw the video. I love the song even more now

Very heart warming for the future :(

I love this song so much but it is so sad 😢😢😢

love this song big fan of classified always will be

Damn, just realizing how talented this guy is and I can only say I'm glad I found his music. What an insipiration

This song is so beautiful, makes me think about my future family. :)

Why doesnt he have a billion views yet

I just booked at 1:23 Jane St.....that's where it's at!

Gator ville. ..♥♥

type of song that really hits your heart and awakens your fatherly instincts even if you still are a young punk...brings tears to my eyes every single time....

I know that feeling happens to me every time I listen to this song, cause I have a little daughter and so it hits me pretty hard and brings tears through the whole song

This song just made me cry!! IS THAT POSSIBLE!!! 💔

This music copyrighted ?

Went to see you when you came to saskatoon still one of the best my friend

Deserves more than just 82k views... It's funny how all these other shitty rap songs could have more attention than a song with an actually message that's meaningful and inspirational... Smh 

Agreed brought tears to my eyes as a soon to be father

+Kevin Mays I feel you bro. It goes by so fast. My girl is turning 11. Best of luck. Take lots of pictures.

+verunn cheekock Classified is so underrated. This guy should be taking Drake's place, man fuck Drake he represents Canada like a shit hole.

+Kelvin Lange I feel embaressed that I live in the same country as Drake.

#GreatfulOverViews

what i think is people listen to something that sounds good but not something that is good

The tune in the background makes me think of two things at once that has nothing to do with the song. The 1st thing is me when I was 3-4 years old, and the 2nd thing is sad moments like going to someone's funeral.  I still like the song though

Today was the 1st time I heard this song, I love it!

I don't have kids, but this song sends chills throughout my whole body...Luke Boyd you are a great father! Respect to all the mothers and fathers out there!

its really cool class is still producing and evolving as an artist. I have had the pleasure of relating and maturing alongside him and his music since i was a kid.

I don't get people, only 70K views ?
What a great song ! 

Copyrighted?

the 7 people who dislike this music - go fuck your self

@Dhiaudin Mokhtar They are probably deadbeat dads lol

growing pains  classified

daddy girl is growing uo so fast

so so Beatufil

Powerful song....yet you don't hear it in the radio. Everyone should be worried

there are only so many artists that actually inspire me. Class is one of them. Without him and atmosphere and brother ali and big K.R.I.T and a handful of other's I would of lost hope in listening to hip hop. It is awesome to find artist's that truly do the music because they love it. 

I like that you link Atmosphere and Classified. Those rappers are REAL and not product of some marketing shit. They deserve more attention than what they got their entire career.

this guy is so underrated ...

calvin ,
exactly man.
You stole my thought.

he is been underrated since '95. fortunately he was able to live with his rap songs for years. Only 200k views on most videos making me sick, this guy deserve a lot more.

Nope still cant stop crying

buena rola, excelente ritmo, muy contento de estarla escuchando 

I am only 14 yeas old and now I understand my parents side.

The feels.

Brings tears to my eyes. The songs beat was nice and calming. Not upbeat at all. A change from the usual songs I listen from him. Love the beat, the song, the message it puts out. Really glad I bought this album. Stay Classy

why doesn't this have a million views?   solid.   

"over protective, but that don't mean that I don't trust you" so damn true

Man I know this will be me when my daughter grows up. Well, she's 4, so already so many thoughts in my head

That last part in the bed made my eyes tear up

such a great song. hits the heart.

Ahhhh stop hurtin my feel spots

Harv's dope

Dat baseball bat scene tho 😅😅

I'm way too emotional to watch this video, so sad but so true.
Thx for the awsome song and video.

This is beutifull ands needs a million views

only 30k?

Why can't I get this on iTunes?

Wonderful song, I love it! Replay !!

Prolly the best hip-hop artist out there, but only 25k views? Every mother on earth gave birth to a child, except classifieds mother, she gave birth to a fucking legend! This dude deserves more

Where can I buy this track?

Deserves way more views than some of these hip hop/rap songs for sure!

This song is one of the only songs that brings tears to my eyes every time. Thank you

Try Mac lethals jake and olive it's just as good if not better than this

@Tanner Hogeboom its good but on 2 different lvls,, you cant say one is better.

@PacificCoastAuto try "you never know - Immortal Technique... it's very deep

+kbless001 featuring Jean Grae. That's a good one. Very sad.

This song is beautiful by all means, you are a great artist Classified

I feel your music man

Best Canadian rapper

Your awesome man a great Canadian

Thank you man, you really deserve to be way more popular. Like there are plenty of popular artists who only care about the mainstream things like cars, money, girls and drugs, but you have actual morals and messages in your songs. You're doing great Classified, keep it up.

Classified deserves to be more popular. 

Life and Death. Gotta Enjoy this while you can.

I'm an 18 year old California hip hop artist. If you guys are interested in checking out my music that would be cool.

Amazing, one of my favorite songs from the album.

This song is great

I cant belive i was there to see the video be produced

AMAZING job Class. Thank you

great artist, great song and great video !!!!!!!!!
