[Verse 1]
We're just some fleas on the back of some slightly bigger fleas
On a dog on a boat full of holes that barely floats
On a sea full of souls full of secrets we can't know
Facing facts isn't nice

[Hook]
But it's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up

[Verse 2]
We get to drive, get to smoke, get to fuck and vote and booze
Get to bruise like a peach when we lose it all
But you only lose what was gained, and we gained so much
So thanks (Thanks!) for the drinks (Cheers!), here's the check

[Hook]
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up

[Harmonica solo]

[Hook]
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up
It's the price of growing up

Watsky

A successful slam poet turned rapper, Watsky first gained attention through ‘Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry,’ and a later burst of viral success for his fast rapping. At every turn, Watsky has refused to be pigeonholed, following up his speed rap success with 2013 LP Cardboard Castles, an eccentric ode to creativity, and 2014’s Anderson. Paak-produced All You Can Do. After a hiatus to work on new material, Watsky pivots again, this time to prose, returning simultaneously with the essay collection How To Ruin Everything, published by Plume/Penguin-Random House, of which Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda writes, “funny, subversive […] you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition.” How To Ruin Everything debuted in the New York Times best-selling list. In total, he has created five studio albums and two live albums. Watsky released his fifth album, x INFINITY August 2016, describing it as his most ambitious project yet. Most recently, in January of 2019, he released a short album called Complaint.
