Growing Up in Public Lyrics

Ah, mate
A wise man once said
Just as things start looking up
It all goes to shit again
Story of my fucking life

I'm growing up, growing up, Growing Up in Public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

They told me to act my age
Maybe one day I'll act it
But for now I'm going backwards, yeah
Lacing up my shoes, buttoning my shirt
I don't know why I'm bothering, you can't polish a turd
Is my tie straight?
I did it and I did it all my way
I told you from the get-go
It was my way or the high way
And I weren't lying then
Ain't lying now, never been, lying down
It's nothing new to me, the press ain't ever been too nice
I ain't surprised, the headline was about the DUI

I'm growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

Think to yourself, what would I have done?
Somebody popped my watch and then tried to run
We got in a tussle, all the while
I had no idea where my wife had gone, plus I'm poignant on
Whether he's got a gun or a knife on him
Not knowing if her life was in
Danger 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
Fuck the watch, my priority's Millie now
You think what I did was so silly now you've figured it out?
Worked out the reason for me getting into the whip
Not only is this dickhead who got me kicked
And gotten away with my watch, he's gone and gotten me in all of this shit
Shame I never caught up to him in the whip, eh?

I'm growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

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 Clarke
Detective Constable Clarke
I don't like you, at all
We will never, ever be friends
I 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

I'm growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public
Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

Growing Up in Public Song Chart

This is the title track of Professor Green's third album. The rapper came up with the record's name before his 2013 marriage to reality TV star Millie Mackintosh, which made him a fixture in the gossip columns. He told Digital Spy : "I had the title a couple of years ago and it was just quite jovial. It was more tongue in cheek than with an actual meaning but it's become something of a self-fulfilling prophecy hasn't it?"

"There's been a lot happening in the public eye in the last two years," he continued. "It's weird because I've kind of been away but not at all, just musically, which I think I needed but is maybe a shame because I was trying to take a step back. Obviously with the marriage to Millie it was full steam ahead in all those weird gossip mags and stuff that I'd never really been in before so it was a transitional period not without event. I've come out of it alright though I think, not too damaged."
