[Bridge] (oooooo) (oooooo) (oooooo) (Growing up) (Finding and losing love) (ooo) [Verse 1] I've grown from what I used to be I've stopped drinking liquor and Hennessey I've left my addiction for weed at twenty-three I've got a family of my own that I have to feed I want to become the father figure they need I don't want them to be fatherless like when I was seventeen [Verse 2] Like father Like son that was the lesson told to me That doesn't mean I will leave and abandon my family Yes, I want my children to live in my legacy But I don't want them to slack off when they can be better than me So Get the key, young keith, soon you'll see This key will open up many opportunities [Chorus] when I grow old, when I grow weak Before I pass I want to know one thing Did my young boy provide for his family Like I told him when I was twenty-three Did the road get dark Did life get hard Did you have to find a new start Because a girl broke your heart oo [Bridge] (oooooo) (oooooo) (oooooo) (Growing up) (Finding and losing love) (ooo) [Outro] I’ve learned mistakes make a man complete You lose You love You admit defeat But in those moments your heart skips a beat You step into the man you’re meant to be I became that man at twenty-three
