Poetry from Robert Ragan

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...
