I wish that I could say that I was in a “better place” when I found out the news.  It would make for a far more polished and respectable story.  But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens.  I was scared.  Scared to start working on new music.  Scared of trying again and failing.  Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of.  Someone that I didn’t like.  Someone that wasn’t ready to be a dad.

I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father.  I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity.  I basically assumed that I'd have it all together.  But in actuality the hypothetical “dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months.  When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. And I knew I had to change.

5 months later we were recording in a remote cabin away from the density that is Seattle.  I was finally having fun in the studio for the first time in years.  Songs were getting made, finally. I was going back to the city once a week to attend a birthing class with Tricia.  When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to.  Half of it is advice about growing up.  The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself.

When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back.  To look at who you are.  This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with.  It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs.   We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this.  We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning.  Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.

And if you’re wondering…

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th.  There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe.  She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.  She is the love of my life.  This song is for her. 

-Ben

Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
I roll up in the club like I'm real sly
suit and tie on lookin like I'm real fly
see a cutie in the back lookin real nice
thinkin that she's real shy
baby thats my real type

walked up and said hey can I buy you a drink
your eyes are nice smiles bright man I can't even think
I wont lie your so fine makes my heart really beat
she looked at me and said boy yea ur in for a treat --- let's go

CHORUS:
she said welcome to the city
where the girls are pretty
where the boys drink whiskey
the enjoy gettin risky
Ohhh she's feeling frisky yea

oh we party like its friday
get the hell out my way
cuz I'm dropping money she gon do whatever i say
cuz she thinks im funny she gon let me hit it side ways
pulling out the club now she wanna go to my place
50 on the highway
cuz were hella high mate
and she givin head gotta make it to the driveway
looking at me says that shes feeling like a lightweight
make it to the bed now she's touching me the right way

VERSE 2:
so I get her back to my place for a good time
we're sippin bottles of patrone with a good lime
she's like a model in her clothes fit her just right 
a couple bottles and she's showing me her good side

I asked her.. can u do a little a show for me...
that's when the clothes they start to fall off of her sexy body 
back to my room I've never seen a girl so very naughty
that's when she looked at me and said get ready for a party

Lyrics:

I️ ain’t the first
with the curse
with the thirst
that I️ wanna be better not worse man it hurts 

I’m on this earth with my words
and I️ put em all together insert 
cuz I️ wanna have worth

workin hella hard till they put me in the dirt
gonna go far man listen to my words 
gonna be a star man life’s like a blur 
when your working this hard yea you get what you deserve 

yea I️ aint takin a back seat
I’m passing 
anybody else who is rapping
I’m nasty 
ain’t nobody able to catch me
they gasping 
they can not compare they can’t match me
I’m at half speed
still I️ got your girl she laughing
and dancing hanging on my what?!
she asking to crash with me
smash with me 
she savagely 
wants cash money 
and she knows that I️ live lavishly uh

I wanna live
I’m cold inside
give all I have
just to feel alive 
I fight to live
I fight to strive
one day I’ll have 
what I want in life

verse 2
I want the whole world in the palm of my hand
I got a plan
I’m the man
now I’m teaching the game a veteran
better than
anybody else who test me
I’m ready 
lookin at my hand and it’s steady
I’m trending
ascending
and blending
lyrical bending
now I’m spreading and getting
my name out now
yea they hearing me loud
all the crowds
repping the sound
im hittin the ground 
running
up and coming 
ain’t nothing yea
rookie of the year ima keep it 100
cold blooded
no budget 
(from nothing) to something

I got a full hand
and a full plan
I ain’t gonna stop till im at the top man

I’m about to pop started from the bottom yea

I wanna live
I’m cold inside
give all I have
just to feel alive 
I fight to live
I fight to strive
one day I’ll have 
what I want in life

Lyrics:

I just wanna be the greatest 
everybody knows my name shit
Ima have this whole fuckin game lit
spitting with insane wit
and Ima gonna be famous
ain’t nobody able to delay this

comin Up I had a vision to make it
never wanted to be nothing always wanted to play shit
sit in class always wondering why I learn this lame shit
how hell am I different if we all know the same shit

I ain’t never let em doubt me
it’s about me
keep my head down let my mouth speak
they surround me 
they all about the clout see
where the crowd be
every time I speak loudly they more about me
man you know I got a bounty
on these lousy
ass haters that surround me 
still they doubt me 
they don’t know nothing about me
still their mouths breathe
ima change that soon better watch out now see

I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous
I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous

I’m-not playing any more games
either put me on the charts or I’ll put you up in flames 
better recognize art
cuz I don’t forget names
should’ve seen me from the start 
comin at you like a train
think I’m bout to fall apart 
every single fuckin day
seeing all these damn stars 
with my well deserved fame 
and I spit these gold bars
while they spitting out shame
man I give this shit heart 
but it gives me back pain

I wanna be a spectacle
they skeptical
but man I got the chemical
exceptional
I do it all intentional
professional
so I can make that decimal
incredible 

I’m not thinking man they saying that I’ve gone insane
I’m not ever gonna make it cuz the game has changed
I’m not good enough man no that’s not ok
tell me that shit again and I’ll stomp your brain

I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous
I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous

now wake up! 
you got some shit to do
it’s 6am I don’t care you got some shit to prove
cuz right now... you ain’t got nothing that big to lose
so get ur ass to work and don’t you dare hit snooze
can’t stop this
I’m obnoxious
and I’m honest
a novice
with promise
made monstrous
I’m conscious
but I’m nauseas
think I’ve lost it
I’ve got it
spitting all this 
still I’m not it

I got this
I will not quit
man I’m all in
ballin
on a budget
man I’m stalling
crawling
cuz I’m nothing
but I’m all in
calling
I’ll be something
yea
Ima get it out now
you can leave if you don’t like it
say it out loud
you believe or you can bite this
keep my head down
and I keep on going timeless
make it somehow
I believe it when I write it

I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous
I just wanna be the greatest 
I just wanna be famous

I said maybe
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that
oh you have to be the one that saves me

you’ve always been the one
yea that’ll never change
bright like the sun
but real like the rain
your head stays numb
but your heart feels pain
you wanna stay young
but ya feel the time change 
and I know it sounds dumb
but I feel the same way
I wanna be the one
that can take away your pain
yea we can just run
somewhere far away
and never look back 
at the past so faint

I said maybe
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that
oh you have to be the one that saves me

and I wanna feel love
know you feel the same way
we fit like a glove
when we sleep in late
ain’t nobody gonna come
in between us today
your the one I want
and I’m willing to wait 
yea
keep your head up
don’t let up
we gon make it through it
get up 
take a breathe yuh
don’t know what we’re doing
yet but
when I met ya
I knew that I won’t regret yuh
or forget ya

I said maybe
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that
oh you have to be the one that saves me

we stay up late
and sleep through the day
every time your at my place
yea you misbehave
every time we’re away
yea you miss me hey
know I feel the same way
so don’t leave just stay
and it ain’t always gonna be easy
sometimes your gonna hate me wanna leave me
I know I’m not perfect but believe me
without each other Girl there ain’t no meaning

I said maybe
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that saves me
your gonna be the one that
oh you have to be the one that saves me

Lyrics:
all these thoughts keep me up at night
what am I doing did I do it right
all these thoughts keep me up at night
I can’t think straight need the light

I need to breathe 
get me up and out of these sheets 
on to my feet,
another cup of coffee in me
that’s what I need
my eyes puffy I can‘t see
I’m too tired to function
buttoo lost to sleep, ay 
I think I need to be on something medication
I think I need to figure out this segregation
I think I needed just a better education
to understand a world that’s so complicated
intoxicated every night faded,
just so I can sleep thinking that it’s aiding
I feel hated
I feel hatred
I’m lost deepinmymind that I’ve created
I have dreams where my life is devastated
feels so real that I wake up shaken
needthickerskin cuz this life is no haven
nod your head, if you get what I’m saying 

all these thoughts keep me up at night
what am I doing did I do it right
all these thoughts keep me up at night
I can’t think straight need the light

I don’t really think I understand this world no
got my head spinning round in a circle
everybody lacks what they need internal
so they compensate with everything external
not trying to throw shade 
no way,
I’m just trying to find the meaning of life hey
there’s happiness if you try to live the right way
forget about what others have and life your life hey
be aware of who you are what your good at
take a step forward see where your foots at
stand tall stand proud
talk loud
every word out your mouth has purpose now
you just gotta get rid of the bad thoughts
hating others cuz you know that they got a lot
forget that tho, you got plenty 
your alive in this life, you got time go get it

all these thoughts keep me up at night
what am I doing did I do it right
all these thoughts keep me up at night
I can’t think straight need the light
