I swear this song brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. It just makes me think about life, I never had the best childhood or the most money but I always had a mother, step father and my dog who all love me. Right now I'm 21 and I'm trying to get my life back on track after a couple years of mental illness and I'm trying to find God again. This song helps me so much. God bless Cee Lo
Here's sending you lots of love and I pray God guides and keeps you. You have many happy years ahead. Your past has only served to pave the way to your better future. Be happy!
I’m 58, and still waiting to find someone who loves me....but I love many, many people, always there for everyone...and I guess that’s what matters the most.
I believe in everlasting mean I do pray to the almighty father and they say you must be reborn again something I don't think about leaving just live and don't think about die
I was a child when my father first played this song for me and I have never seen him cry before that moment. As a man now I hear this song and sob like a child, cee lo has put in 4 minutes what most men go through in a lifetime all the rights they want to do and the wrongs they have done and how we still look towards a brighter tomorrow is amazing I sincerely commend any and every man who sheds tears to this song because that in it self means you understand the message in it. May you continue to raise your face to the sun and pick your self up from your downfalls and use this music as a passenger on your road to redemption success closure or whatever it is your going through, lord knows I will
That last verse damn near brought tears to my eyes. "Lord I know I'm not hear to stay, but thanks for waking me up today, prepare me for what may come my way". #simpleprayer #hiddengospel #ogm
This songs gotta be one of the most underrated songs ever. If this would have came out when he was a little more known, it would've been on a 'hey ya' level. This songs it's father figure, but means alot more
Also to include I assumed this song wasn't about topping charts but speaking a message from the heart. Not saying he didn't do it with other hits when he got the buzz he needed. But a classic like this felt like he sang this from the soul. Nothing but a pure and genuine reminder to keep pushin
Man I just had to play this song for my newborn son today in the hospital. This song always blesses my soul. I’m so glad I’ve changed. Getting grown. 🙏🏾
1st heard this song 11 years ago since then I lost my mother , had babies with a baby mother that dont appreciate me just lost my house in this pandemic and this song seems so relevant. See the blessings in everything and you won't regret anything. I love all y'all. Stay safe
Ceelo green is a VERY underrated song artist. He didn’t have to put cuss words or propaganda in his music for people to love it. He’s somebody that young men that wanna be in the entertainment industry can look up to. I hope that I can meet him one day.
I turn 31 today, 8/8/17, so this song def has more meaning for me. Turning 21 ain't nothing compared to now. Thanks to the most high for helping me get here. My life isn't where I want it to be but I know what I have to do, the plan is not to say but DO!!!
don't get down about it, wherever u r is where u supposed to be But at the same time it's up to you to elevate yourself. Your destiny is yours and yours alone. I believe in you my sister!! God bless🙏🏿💯
"Lord I know I am not here to stay/ but thanks for walking me up today/ prepare me for what might come my way/ oooh oooh/ Every day my heart burn & try/ we gotta walk before we learn to fly/ And we all Gotta / Getting Grown!" CEELO Beautifully Human ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cuz I was 7 when this shit came out🙈this song lowkey sad😔gettin grown is trippin me out bruh👀this shit kinda scary. Im goin crazy starting to realize that we are all gonna die one day and theres nothing u can do about 🙈🏃🏃🏃
I am white, 65, and from Pittsburgh. My sons turned me on to this song. It is one of only two that I liked in the past 20 years. This could have been a hit in th 50's, 60's, 70's. I love this song and the video. I may buy the album. God bless you man.
love this song reminds me of my beautiful daughter and son. Thank you dear Lord God our heavenly father for all my family. Some with you in paradise ,already love them all . And you most of all.
"The memories of the pain have scarred And when I fall it's usually hard But I get up and keep followin' God" I swear that part hits me the most and I can relate so much. Just to think this song came out when I was 11 and has so much meaning for me now.
Still so VERY relevant. This track plays at least a few times a week in my ride. Has since it dropped. Still tryin to turn dudes on to this album along with Soul Machine.
Been going through alot and this came out of nowhere gives me inspiration to keep grinding and I use to hear this as a kid and didn't really appreciate it
CEE-LO IS THE SHIT!!! He's soo talanted!! I gotta start listning to all his shit. He deserves ALOTT more recognition. I never even heard this before. Great voice, melodys, LYRICS too!!
Cee-Lo, I'm a 40 year old single father of two, I've been down many roads. This song says it all. Thank you for something that puts the feelings I have into a beautiful song that I now listen to everyday.
Its funny how i didnt think i would make it pass 20, im thirty listening to this song grabs my soul, I look at my five boys, one girl, and wife and thank god. Ive cried a many tears of joy to the song
I haven't listened to this song in years...but when I heard it, it stayed in my mind. Kind of like I was running away from growing up. I almost died from Alcohol poisoning at the beginning of the year, and that moment changed my life. I quit drinking and smoking, getting ready to go back to school...Ahh the joy and pain of getting grown...
I love you for this message in this song big bro.... because you said you gotta crawl before you can fly and the bible states tht you must come unto the kingdom as a child,so thank you
Gettin grown. I literally got grown to this song. At 21 I thought this was weird (must admit I based it solely on the video, didnt have enough sense to listen to the words). At 25 I simply thought it was a great song. Now at 37 its more than a song. I cant imagine getting through tough times with out it. That goes for the rest of this album as well.
Give Cee Lo his roses while he is still here because, he is a true musical visionary/messenger. If you go back and explore his catalog I'm sure you will here something that speaks to you on a deeper level.
Today I clicked on this song because I remember listening to it but I couldn't understand why I always teared up listening to it as a young teen... Then I turned on the CC and read as he sang.... The words!!! 😭 I knew I loved this song for a reason!! This whole song still makes me cry to this day only now I know why... Thank you Jesus for creating mr. CeeLo and I pray that you keep him making more relatable and real truth lyrics like this... This music can change us all! ❤️😇😇🙏🏼 Praise the Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ!! 👑👑
makes me wanna be a better man, i aint neva gonna be perfect i know but workin on it is worth it i know life is just learnin as you go i dont think you can get anymore positive than this would be nice to see more like this
I agree with yo for the most part but i think a group like goodie mob is needed NOW more than ever and what we DONT need is C-lo in christmas carols and nfl commercials i understand money is powerful BUT if you go back and listing to goodie mobs first album first song named free ....You woulda never thought that guy who sang THAT song could be bought or change that much , I still love c-lo
