This folk-country-blues song explores the struggle of growing up under societal pressures, feeling unable to pursue one's own dreams due to external expectations and judgments, and the frustration of having decisions influenced by others rather than personal aspirations.

Lyrics
I don’t know what to say, about what they say
I don’t know what to be, tell me what to be
Growing up with this, you know what I mean
Decisions are based on them and not on your dreams
Growing up with this, you know what I mean
Decisions are based on them and not on your dreams
Ever since you were, a young boy you say
That you could not be, what you wanted to be
The constant pressures of our society
A laugh came from them, when you told them your dream
Growing up with this, you know what I mean
Decisions are based on them and not on your dreams
The constant pressures of our society
Decisions are based on them and not on your dreams
