Wonderful and Scary

Planet Earth, 1993, enter little me
A new Peabody baby born in the heart of the 253
New ID when I met the king He gave me everything
Now I get to sing my mic in the hand with the wedding ring
But things are not as simple as an 8 bar summary
Life can change the tempo fast as we make memories
One day my Nintendo seemed the height of luxury
Now I’m wondering what’s under the surface of all my feelings
This the second my second album
Progresses
To look for sense in the messes
A lesson amidst the guessing
So Jesus please give me blessing
When I step into this session
Of wrestling don’t let me forget
My best message is from heaven
‘Cause growing up is a trip, each day adjusting my grip
One day I think I might slip, the next I’m busting my lip
But then again on the flip, no adventure’s bigger than this
So there’s not a single moment that I want to miss

We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary
Stepping out of our towns
Both terrified and daring
Seems like every day
I’m growing up another way
We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary

This is two for me, two for all the OG’s
The ones who knew bout Healthy Snacks way back in 2017
Still feels like dream, still got no clue what it means
But seems to me that God’s always
Got something up his sleeve
But I gotta admit I’m a tad bit fixed
On a mix of fears and what ifs
Should I go through with this
Will I get twisted cynical cuffs on my wrists
Will I miss high fives and throw fists
When I sip lies, will it make me spit
Will I take the stairs, Miss the lifts
Will I be too proud to take gifts
Even if the what if’s happen right now
And all the fears inside of me just climbed out
Nothing’s gonna change with my eyes down
The voice of faith says God hears the sounds
Of his children
Walking growing learning
Living and discerning
Our God daily bears our burdens

We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary
Stepping out of our towns
Both terrified and daring
Seems like every day
I’m growing up another way
We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary

We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary
Stepping out of our towns
Both terrified and daring
Seems like every day
I’m growing up another way
We grow up, we fall down
It’s wonderful and scary

God I’m here at the outskirts
Make me brave, make my feet work
‘Cause one more step, and it’s new turf
A new sky over new earth
God I’m here at the outskirts
With a song and some cheap merch
I’m ready as I’ll ever be for what it’s worth
Lead the way, show me everything I need to learn
