D-Clique - Responsibility lyrics

(Jawad) Growing up listening to my mother talking to me about the day when Imma become a man (When you become a man) Conversations with my father stressing the fact that life is a test One day youll understand (Youll understand) Saying We dont expect you to know any better right now but down the road things will change (Things will change) And as youre growing older gotta put more on your shoulders, so be strong through all the pain (Strong through all the pain) So basically all my life Ive been waiting for that day to apply all that my parents taught me (My parents taught me) Now Im starting to realize all the things they described are starting to creep up on me (Creep up on me) As long as Im aware of what is there, tomorrow will come and Ill be prepared (Ill be prepared) Another day will pa**, I know that days approaching fast, gotta be responsible (I gotta learn to be responsible) (Chorus) Gotta be careful with what I do I gotta control what I say Responsibility Gotta learn to listen to that reasonable voice Im bout to make my own choices Responsibility (Akbar) Growing up pushed around, stressing now just to hold my ground but I gotta learn to swallow my pride (Swallow my pride) Just a boy grown too fast, forced himself to be a man, ready for the big sacrifice (The big sacrifice) My mother taught me how to get through life I never had to give just sacrifice Now I tried so hard just to build that trust Head up, back straight, hands down now I must Move on, with my head strong Cant afford to make mistakes now Im grown Gotta learn, to be ready for that burn The respect I earn is here to stay For the day I pray Theres no way I could turn around Gotta learn to live to accept my doubts Surrounded by many conditions I gotta take my time cuz now Im responsible Responsible for my actions my choices my ways Responsible for these days (Jawad & Akbar) Living in the present but the future is now I gotta learn from the past gotta turn it around Gotta realize that actions speak volumes And now the younger generations copy all that I do (So I gotta) (Chorus) Im responsible Repeat 3x I can take responsibility
