New Edition - Boys To Men Lyrics
Growing up can be a pain
You're not an man until you come of age
We've given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our career
Who assumes responsibility
Who's protecting us from harm
Is there anyone around
That we can trust
So we search for answers to our questions
Looking for a answer
No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
Cause lifes responsibility falls in our hand oh
Keep on growing
'cause wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing
Without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men
Oh the goals we set may exceed reality
Cause failurealways is a possibility
Who can tell us that we're wrong
It's up to us to figure out
What life is all about
So we search for answers to questions
Looking for the answers
No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
'cause wisdom helps us see our responsibility.
I know it is hard sometimes growing up can be a pain
Know what I mean know what I mean
Is all you have to do is
All you have to do is hold on hold on hold on no no no no no baby

boyz to men named themselves after this song
I think money can't buy you love should have been number one!
One of my NE favorites! Still love this in 2020😚
This song should of been their first #1 song but it never got that much attention.
Although Can You Stand The Rain will always be their definitive song, Ive always considered this my favorite NE song.The lyrics, production, vocal performance and overall spirit as it relates to this group and young men everywhere puts this song in another category.
One of the great songs of all time
2020 i still tear up on this track
2020 MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER #STILL 💪🏿💪🏿
In an interview, Johnny Gill said that he didn't like this song originally. And tbh I find that hard to believe. But then again you never know.

To my Sons Lil E and DJ and Z my Daughter Wisdom helps us understand Boyz to Men and Girls to Women
Man...those special moments in time that were captured in your heart and mind to only be relived through the nostalgia of music! That's were the tears come from for me. Part of my Heart will live in the 90's forever!🥺🥺🥺🥺
I was a huge NE fan growing up, studied all the dance moves on Soul Train, Solid Gold, etc.. LOL! I remember first hearing about Johnny Gill possibly joining the group and I did not think he would be a good fit, fast forward to "HeartBreak" and I hear this song which was the last track on the album and I was like WOW.. the rest is history, Well done JG!
The jam
Ah a man here

“Whose protecting us from harm?” Black man I will forever keep you LIFTED in prayer💛🙏🏾💫
If u like this
Google black men united ...u will know.
This music.
Who's listening to this in 2020 🙋🏻
Johnny Gill was the perfect choice for the lead vocals on the this track, his deep voice is like a mature, experienced man giving a message to young males and Ralph Tresvant and the boys are like younger men whose voices are the final element which reaches out to the hearts of young boys. They just nailed the vocal arrangement.
🥰💖🥰
"we're maturing without knowing" I felt that 🧒🏿🤵🏿
By naming their group Boyz II Men, Nathan, Shawn, Michael, and Wanya were paying homage to New Edition. They later became legends on their own. Now that 2020 is here society needs more music like this to inspire people.
Who else brought this song into 2020?
I love this song one of favs on this album . I remember my mother had the tape and I wound fast forward the whole tape just to get to this song and she also had the concert on tape lol
2020 it's still a hit tha truth has spoken
This song reminds me of my younger brother. I love him so much, he’s definitely my blessing and my best friend. No matter what life throws his way, I’ll be there.
What's funny is that Johnny Gill hated this song...
I'm about to turn 20 in 2 months
1 3 20
To The 2.6k That Thumbs Down You're UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE
Who Here Listening N 2020
HAPPY NEW YEAR
First to say who here in 2020 I need a award
I'm just here to see who's still listening in 2020👀👀

This song bring tears to my eyes
Love this music !
We're maturing, without knowing......
This song changed my life as a teenager. I was really going through when this song came out and after listening to it, it put me on the right path to be the success that I am today.
My song Dec 2019 samjones
Old School music....
Men this brotha J.G sounds exactly like Alexander O'Neal I swear no copy here...
I cant help crying everytime i hear this song. OMG. After my mom died when I was 18, I drove around contemplating suicide for hours with this song on repeat. So here I am almost 50 and I still cry everytime I hear it. The whole CD I can play from beginning to end cause it was so pivotal during my transitioning.
Love this song!
And to think Johnny didn't even like the song so he said if he has to sing that he was going to sing the hell out of it . And so he did . When hit the high then the low then the high again I almost passed out. Like he was singing right into My soul. Bravo.
I love this song
Man wen he say I know it gets hard sometimes 😢😢😢😢😢
This song brings me to tears! I have a 16 yr old son and it feels like just yesterday I was breast feeding him, now he is studying to drive😭 I'm so sad that my baby is growing up (he is my only child) I'm happy for him but I'm also scared for him because he is gonna be a black man in this cruel world.
2019 who jamming
This is where platinum selling group 'Boys to Men' got their name. It's not a hard connection. Michael Bivens discovered them and signed them.
Life responsibilities lies in our hands..
Great song for young men
anyone here in 3022?
Wisdom helps us understand 💯...#2019
Johnny Gill was the extra ingredient they needed they were doing good before Johnny , not taking , anything from him , but they all had to mateur
Just close your eyes and meditate on the lyrics ❣️❣️❣️❣️
I love this song i play it over and over again who's with me in 2019?

Growing up can be a pain wisdom will help you understand all you have to do is hold on when it gets hard
I felt this track
