Dear ma, your baby boy's grown up, he's [?] now And they say I'm gonna blow up at any minute now Wait a minute, I'll admit it, nothing's really perfect So much to learn in this earth, I'm only at the surface So first I feel sick and weak with responsibility Honestly why is it that people respond to me differently Still a kid, if I cop a nice new whip I'm still the Asher Roth they went to high school with And back in high school, shit, all those kids I used to rap with Coming right at me, saying "I got your back, kid" Actually I can tell if they true friends of mine On the side in their eyes they be seeing dollar signs After [?] all my homework and repping Philly though Girls stay asking me "Can I be in your video?" I don't know, questions need to be answered that can't be I can't stand it, as a man I came to the [?] Just drive and drive (Just drive and drive) Know I'm on your side (Know I'm on your side) Life is hard sometimes (Life is hard) Just realize It'll be okay, it'll be okay, oh It'll be okay, it'll be okay I know you told me this would happen, I remember what you said about it "If you make it Asher, you best have a level head about it" Don't matter I'm always me, never gonna change up Even if my boys complain that I don't hang up Strange enough girls want their virginity taken fast Saying they be feeling me even if I didn't rap Is that a fact? Why these people saying "Hi" to me? Take away my privacy, still it seems honorable Obviously there ain't nothing wrong with that I just laugh when they ask for an autograph I just pass the dick riders and the gold diggers too Since the truth's what's there before the money was too So when that dust settles and I'm through being the man, see I'm back to square one, just me and the family Just drive and drive (Just drive and drive) Know I'm on your side (Know I'm on your side) Life is hard sometimes (Life is hard) Just realize It'll be okay, it'll be okay, oh It'll be okay, it'll be okay [?] the break of down Momma never knew when I was coming home See her eyes would swell from all the tears And her mind stayed scared from all the fears "Baby boy's not home, must be doing wrong Lord, keep him safe 'cause he ain't full grown" You made me everything I am today I hope you realize it'll be okay (That's right)
