Growing Up Lyrics

See my girl sitting alone
Went To Ask Her "Girl What's Wrong?"
Seen Her Staring At Her Phone
She Said I'm Having Problems At Home
Said I Know What Your Going Through
She Said No I Don't Think You Do
Could Tell She Wanted Me To Go Away
But Something Said No Auburn Stay
I Said Just Tell Me What's On Your Mind
She Said No I Don't Have The Time
I Said Well Can't We At Least Pray
Then She Turned Around To Say
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e42551-auburn~growing_up_lyrics.html ]
Growing Up Was Real Hard For Me
Watching Daddy Beat Mommy Till She Bleeds
I Was Young But I Still Stay By Her Side
Now I Cry And I Pray To God But I Wonder Why
Growing Up Was Real Hard For Me
Watching Daddy Beat Mommy Till She Bleeds
I Was Young But I Still Stay By Her Side
Now I Cry And I Pray To God But I Wonder Why

I said girl I had no clue
She Said Yeah Well Now You Do
I Watched Her As She Checked Her Hair
She Said I Gotta Be Somewhere
I Said Well Where You Headed To
She Said Somewhere With This Dude
I Met Him At The Club Last Night
I don't really know him but he seemed right
I Said Well
What If He's Wrong
I Don't Think You Should Be Alone
She Said Don't Worry I Don't Trust No Man
I Learned That From Living With My Dad
I'm At My Mom's I'll Be Just Fine
I'm Just Trying To Go And Get Mine
I Looked At Her Like She Bumped Her Head
Then She Turned Around And Said

Growing Up Was Real Hard For Me [Phone Ringing]
Hello?
Where You At? You Ready?
Yeah I'm Outside
I Brought My Homies That's Cool?
I Guess It's Alright
You By Yourself Sure There Ain't Nobody Else
Yeah
Aight I'm On My Way

Can't You See What's Going On
They Tryna Get You All Alone
She Said That's Usually How It Is
Your Treating Me Like I Am A Kid
I said girl you just turned 18
About The Same Age As Me
She Said I Don't Need Your Help
I'm Doing Fine All By Myself
I Said Well Girl Don't Get Help From Me
Can We Please Get On Our Knees
Please Before You Go That Way
Can We Please Kneel Down And Pray

Father We Come To You Wholeheartedly
And I Ask That You Hear Our Prayer
And You Give Her The Heart And The Mercy To Look Past Her Father's Mistakes
Just As You Have Been Merciful To Her All Of These Years
But I Know You See What She Goes Through
And I Know You Been Trying To Reach Her
But God She Was Deafened And Blinded With Hatred
But Now She's Here Lord
And We're Ready To Listen
She's Ready To Listen
Amen

Your Body Is My Temple
And Your A Precious Jewel
Don't Let No One Take That Away
I Know Just What You Go Through
Cause Every Night I Heard You
It's Just You Couldn't Hear Me
So Don't Worry About Your Mother
Or Your Little Brothers
I Took Them Just To Ease Their Pain
But I Loved You Just To Use You
I See How He Abused You
But All Of That Will Change Today

Growing Up Was Real Hard For Me
Watching Daddy Beat Mommy Till She Bleeds
I Was Young But I Still Stay By Her Side
Now I Cry And I Pray To God But I Wonder Why
Growing Up Was Real Hard For Me
Watching Daddy Beat Mommy Till She Bleeds
I Was Young But I Still Stay By Her Side
Now I Cry And I Pray To God But I Wonder Why
