Professor Green - Growing Up In Public Lyrics
[Intro]Ahh, mateA wise man once saidJust as things start looking upIt all goes to shit againStory of my *****ing life[Hook]I'm growing up, growing up, growing up in publicGrowing up, growing up, growing up in publicGrowing up, growing up, growing up in publicGrowing up, growing up, growing up in public[Verse 1]They told me to act my ageMaybe one day I'll act itBut for now I'm going backwards, yeahLacing up my shoes, buttoning my shirtI don't know why I'm bothering, you can't polish a turdIs my tie straight?I did it and I did it all my wayI told you from the get-goIt was my way or the high wayAnd I weren't lying thenAin't lying now, never been... lying downIt's nothing new to me, the press ain't ever been too niceI ain't surprised, the headline was about the DUI[Hook][Verse 2]Think to yourself "what would I have done?"Somebody popped my watch and then tried to runWe got in a tussle, all the whileI had no idea where my wife had gone, plus I'm poignant onWhether he's got a gun or a knife on himNot knowing if her life was inDanger why I tried to hold on to the watch and fight the.Then I heard her scream, so I'm guessing he bought more guys with him***** the watch, my priority's Millie nowYou think what I did was so silly now you've figured it out?Worked out the reason for me getting into the whipNot only is this dickhead who got me kickedAnd gotten away with my watch, he's gone and gotten me in all of this shitShame I never caught up to him in the whip, eh?[Hook][Bridge]OK, if I'm being logical, in hindsight then probably, it is not a shame that I didn't catch up to the little toerag in the car because that could've ended with me in more trouble than I already am.DCI ClarkeDetective Constable ClarkeI don't like you... at allWe will never, ever be friendsI don't wanna be a criminal I'm nearly 30 years old I'm a married man I wanna move to the country, have children and smoke my... pipe With nothing illegal in it[Hook]
