Grow Up (Say It To The Mirror Remix)
Look at you wearing ocd like it's a badge of honor
Is that your latest excuse to get through life
What people are supposed to feel sorry for you and give you a break.
You know better than that by now you should realize that you
Will never amount to anything unless you make a lot of changes really fast
Out here bragging about being a criminal with your silly ass
You'll never get any bigger in the world you want because you're really trash
And not as good as you think you are
Writing all this crazy love poetry about a woman you've never met
Yeah you two had a special bond despite the distance
But instead of losing your mind over a woman
You need to sit it out have some alone time
Try to fix yourself because in your current shape
You wouldn't do anything but bring a woman down
Of course you would love them with a passion they've probably never seen before
But what about all those other sides of you that you could show them
With every single heart you can't settle for anything less than a tragedy
Such a drama king you look on the bright side and turn your nose up
What are you 41...well I'm here to tell you that you still need to grow up
Not good with the shears and snips you lay out of work
And sacrifice the money to run from the problem
So you gonna let em fire you for laying out or you gonna get every dollar possible
And make em fire you for fucking up some plants
Again you've got a lot of growing up to do
I know you don't like hearing that but I'm gonna keep saying it till you can't stand it
Till you stop and say to yourself...you know what he's right
I have a lot of growing up to do
You can't hide in your fictional worlds anymore
You just made it to the pan you never even flashed
I know this hurts but someone had to tell you
One more thing and I really didn't want to go this far
But while you're out here chasing women
Why don't you sit it out and try to fix your relationship with your children
Yeah I know that one hurt and again someone has an awful lot of growing up to do
Hate to be so tough on you...you just look like a fool the way you carry yourself
I wanna see you do better in life so you can hold your head up proudly
Best take all these words to heart
What breaks it in a different way might save you...
