Growing Up Poem by Cyrus Josis

Gotta grow up, buy myself a house. Can't be irresponsible, simply ain't possible. Gotta look beyond the horizon, go fast like verizon.

Cause, growing up it ain't hard, but it's like playing cards. Cause you got to be strategic, or your life'll be slow like a paraplegic.


If you can't read signals, then there'll be no happy jingles. Nesting in your mature immaturity, with absolutely zero purity.

Gaining no skills, on the internet too much, gotta take sleeping pills, (hush) Got to go to college, Momma told you, "Better grow your knowledge."

Gotta get money, that stuff, it ain't funny. Got no money, expenses getting runny.

Gotta grow up, buy myself a house. Can't be irresponsible, simply ain't possible. Gotta look beyond the horizon, go fast like verizon.

Ya, that stuff is all cool, but don't you hear that voice in your head going "You got a whole lotta tools."

And indeed you do, but do you? If you don't use them, then they'll never be able to solve any problem. (Gotta Stop em)

Have to have a way with life, or else, you probably won't be able to thrive. And you'll feel like you just went across a whole lotta beehives. (Live)


Need to walk the plight of fire, which'll probably leave you very tired. But is there a choice, can't
have life be enjoyed. Gotta walk, need to talk. Gotta sprout out like a cornstalk.


Gotta grow up, buy myself a house, can't be irresponsible, simply ain't possible. Gotta look beyond the horizon, go fast like verizon.


Losing opportunities, left and right. Will you ever be able to see the light? That life gives you, tried and true.

Puberty attacks, especially those who crack. The future is vast, but can you last?

The little basis sucks in like a stasis. You're running around chasing your own shadow, is life really that shallow.

Some people religiously think they are a jack of all trades. But, can they avoid getting swayed by the artificial wind, or getting thrown in the dust bin. (By Life)

But nobody even cares to stop and think, sometimes they even forget to blink.


Maybe cause

Growing up is hard, life even harder. Life, a journey of twists and turns. Who shall it burn? He who does nothing, or he who does everything. The choice is yours, choose wisely.
