"ADULTHOOD" lyrics
Jon Batiste & BJ the Chicago Kid Lyrics
(feat. Hot 8 Brass Band)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
It's phenomenal
This boy's gonna find his soul (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's emotional
Room for us to grow, yeah
Subliminal, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ours is all that you wanna be
Lost my pride, I'm a wannabe
Still I need you, I see (yeah, yeah)
Only you can give me freedom
Only you can make me sing
You make me sing (yeah, yeah)
(You know, sometimes real talk-)
It's phenomenal
This boy's gonna find his soul (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's emotional
Room for us to grow, yeah
Lord knows I'd never thought
I'd find a super woman
I know love ain't perfect
But if you feeling what I'm talking 'bout
Say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
I never thought that it will be a time
That we wouldn't see eye to eye
But baby, here we are right now
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
Wish we can make it right
(I pray we can make it right, baby) oh baby
Said I pray we can make it right, yeah
I need my background to help me sing
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Dear Lord
I pray that you bless our relationship
I pray that you help us not to fight
And to get along
And to go to church on Sundays
Mama said, do what you can
Gotta be a Holy man
You could tell that I'm a Nolia man
By the way that I talk
And the way that I walk
And I wanna see your pretty face
Light up like the city in springtime
Light up like the crowd when I rhyme
Light up like, shine, get it
I know you don't like to dance in public
But I love it when you get loose
And show your toes, show your toes
Or when you get loose and show your foes
Let's show them, oh (oh!)
It's phenomenal, ah-ah, you so phenomenal (ooh-ooh)
It's phenomenal (oh, yeah, yeah)
And we gon' find a way (we gon' find a way)
It's emotional (emotional), room for us to grow (yeah, baby)
It's phenomenal (oh-oh-oh)
We gon' find it, we gon' find a way
It's emotional, room for us to grow, yeah
Yeah (yeah), (yeah), (yeah)
