When exactly do we grow up 

Because baby im 18 and in 

College, I keep back trailing 

And my friends who are older

Do seem like their decisions 

Are getting younger

When does responsibility sprout

I hope it grows inside me so

Much it starts to pour out my 

Mouth like bamboo that never

Seems to grow, but when its gets

It start it cant seem to stop

My maturity seems hopeless, I’m 

Still cracking those same jokes 

Hanging around the same old 

Kids I used to and even though 

I am getting older I feel stuck 

In where I am 

This man fools me to the right

And she is doing this to the left 

The older generation is no role 

Model for any glance of chance 

For me to make it in a world so

Much bigger then my sense of 

Courage 

I want to be that man, to grow

Up into someone like my father

Was until my professors said

that’s how it should be, but I 

Think to live as my old man 

Can be would be the greatest

Accomplishment for me

I think a house with some 

Children next to a beautiful 

Wife is just an accomplishment 

In itself to be responsible enough

To pay my own bills, to make it 

Where jobs are tight and I seem 

To have limited skills

O Lord I am trying my best, but

This world you made is scary 

Enough even with you by my

Side and they say you will provide

Well God make me into a man and

Let me quit the jokes that junior high

Boys are cracking in the locker room

Let me grow older then these lazy 

Old days

God make me into a man worth a 

Word, a man who others see as a 

Man of clean mouth and cautious 

Approach, where I don’t think 

Twice about the decision I am 

About to make because I already

Know you will approve, make me

Into somebody new
