letra de growing up - the heartbeat brothers

[intro: ron; lord kool g]
yo, g, did you hear about that party tonight?
yeah, ron, you know when dj al-ski throw a party, all the fly girls come, but you know mom ain’t even gonna let us out the house tonight
i’ll think of something
no, you’re not! ’cause the last time you thought of something, when mom finished with us, we couldn’t sit down for a week, man
i don’t know what’s wrong with our mom
hey, ron, i know what’s wrong her

[verse 1: lord kool g]
our mom was raised by the old folks’ crew
she don’t allow us to party or hang out at the school
plus she don’t realize the world has changed
and our way of living is a whole new thing
we like to dance and party all night
but she don’t think that kind of living is right
we can’t even hang out with all our friends
because we got to be back before ten
and if we come in even one minute late
she’s standing at the door, waiting to break
she treats us like kids even though we’re almost grown
sometimes it makes me wish i was out on my own
i tried to talk to my mom, but she don’t understand
she just closes the bible with a belt in her hand
but what can we do, what can we say
to keep our mom from treating us this way
[chorus]
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday (you know it)
we like to go out and have a good time
but that ain’t our mothers’ way (that’s right)
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday (get down)
we like to go out and have a good time
but that ain’t our mothers’ way

[verse 2]
our mom goes to church, and leaves us alone
the party will begin when she [?] gone
and by the time our mom makes it back home
we act like nothing’s been going on
but one night, the fly girls in the spot
the party was boring so we started to rock
we was rocking the floor, rocking the wall
felt like the house was about to fall
we didn’t think about the time mom would arrive
all we could think was rocking non-stop
in walked our mom, shocked as a [?]
she had [?] on her mind and fire in her eyes
so to calm her anger she started to shout
she said “forgive me, lord, for what i planned out”
then she gave us a look we seen many times
which meant she was gonna beat our behinds
then she said “lord, forgive me for what i’mma do
’cause i’m about to beat the h-ll out of these two”
[chorus]
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday
we like to go out and have a good time
and that ain’t our mothers’ way
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday
we like to go out and have a good time
and that ain’t our mothers’ way

[verse 3: lord kool g]
for a while, we thought we had it made
like a job doing nothing and still getting paid
but she taught us a lesson, but for only a while
we knew we just had to change our style
so we went to bed early, pretending to be sweet
and out the window we would creep
we went to the disco without a care
the real party started when we got there
so bust this

[interlude 1: ron; lord kool g; dj al-ski]
yo, this place is jumping!
this place is packed
yo, yo, here come dj al-ski
whassup, ron and g, your mom let you out tonight?
yeah, we had to sneak out the window
[?] ladies looking for y’all
[?] black and blue?
let’s check the show out first, then we can rap
forget that, let’s talk to them first, ’cause we you know got to get home before mom wake up
word, you right about that
(growing up)
(growing up)
[verse 4]
it didn’t take long for our moms to get wise
she came on at night with this big surprise
the windows were locked and the doors were too
our moms said “[?]”
we tried to explain but it was no use
she didn’t believe our weak excuses
she knew we wasn’t telling the truth
mom grabbed her belt and started to get loose
we had nothing but chores [?] year
party was the last word we wanted to hear
so we joined the church, now we sing in a choir
shouting and singing is our only desire

[chorus]
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday
we like to go out and have a good time
and that ain’t our mothers’ way
growing up in the world today
is different from yesterday
we like to go out and have a good time
and that ain’t our mothers’ way

(growing up)
(growing up)

[outro: ron; lord kool g]
yo ron, if i knew churches like this, i woulda come much sooner
me too, i’ve been in church singing, breakdancing, getting down, and mom don’t say nothing as long as i’m in church
word, [?] getting loose, she was getting kinda tough on us
yeah, she was
yo, remember the time when…

(growing up)
