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

I was crying at 18 to this record in dorm room. Always was deep… That was 23 years ago. Time does fly….

"Lord i know im not here to stay" "But thanks for waking me up today" I live by those words.

Listening to This song kept me sober when I started fighting my alcoholism and I listen to it to keep me strong..

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

45yrs old and still getting grown

This shit kept me pushing as a single father..Salute

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

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

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. 🙏🏾

This song helps me with my fight with depression. Everyday.

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.

And every day that goes by is divine, resentment will rob ya blind... God I owe you... this life of mine. I am getting grown.

"...I wish my mama was alive to see..." He lost his dad when he was 2 and his mum when he was 18. God bless Cee-lo.

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.

Everyday my heart burns to try, you got to walk before you learn to fly, and we all got to earn to die. Preach it Cee-Lo 🙌 👏 🙏 💯

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

This song has gotten me through many dark moments. It's always right on time.

Spent many a late night singing this to my toddler. He turned into a good man. Thank you, Cee-lo.

Its 2024 who's playlist is this on?🤚

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!!!

easily cee-lo's best song

"Everyday my heart burns to try:You gotta walk before you learn to fly:And we all got to earn to die" -#CeeLo

"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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Lord I know I'm not here to stay but thanks for waking me up today. Preparing me for what may come my way.." 🙏🏽

Ceelo Green is a natural born singer, just listen to his words it means a lot, Im getting grown, bless you Ceelo 🙏🏿💯

I reminisce of the song looking back at my childhood and my wild years I can't believe I have settled down

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.

Tears of joy when listening to this. Hit different when you really getting grown! Thank you God.

"You gotta walk befor you learn to fly" this verse really touched me

I feel this N tha bone of my Soul..💀😎2020 let's grow sum mo!!!!

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.

this song speaks to me so much.

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

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!!

"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.

Realest song ever!

Here I am in 2024 good music you can never forget 😊❤❤❤❤ 🎶 🎵

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

The year is 2021 and I still love this song. So much to reflect on from these lyrics. Words that have gotten me by.

''Lord I'm Not Here To Stay : but Thanks for Waking Me Up Today, Preparing Me for what May Come My Way''

Hands down probably my favorite song of all time! I remember jamming this when it first came out and it still hits over a decade later.

Used to play this every night when i was 17. Now I'm 33 years old. Its much sadder to me now. Lol

Man I just love everything about this song, The message and the catchiness of the tune itself. Ceelo is really unique!

I cry my heart out everytime. This song just hits deeper the longer it plays.

Back when music was simple and had a meaning😢

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...

Underrated dude honestly

I love Cee lo green he has real music and he tells a story. Iam growing up I am going to college

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.

2023 a lot of life behind me and still trying to get grown. This song will always be special to me.

TRUTH BRING TEARS TO MY EYES.....I CAN DIG WHERE YOU COMING FROM CEE-LO.....PREACH ON BRO....

Couldn't understand it till I got grown.

Never gone be perfect I know but workin on it is worth it I KNOW 💯

Today is my birthday 🎂. I’ve been playing this on my birthday ever year.

CEE LO GREEN IS A LYRICAL GENIUS!! THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THIS EVER DONE!!

I am 60 years old and love the music I have heard by this guy so far.

They should blast this song on every speaker in the US for 24hr

Diving in 2019.STILL HERE.SWEET MUSIC SET ME FREE. THANK U GOD .AMEN

Wise Man...He keeps God in his Songs💪💪

Getting grown. Truth

when I fall its usually hard, but I get up and keep following God

Goodie Mob Forever

He has such a unique voice....I think his new song off the Twilight soundtrack will be the song of 2010...calling it now

so happy I found this song

I love his words. He's such an inspiration to me. He knows exactly what to say because he's been there. LOVE HIM!

I can't believe I almost forgot about this track.

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

so uplifting. I'm gettin' grown

And when I fall it's usually hard. But I get up and keep following God.

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.

Cee-Lo a legend...so thankful for his music. goodie mob and outkast forever, please and thank you

2023 and I'm playing this like it's new😂

most of the time i cant look away from his videos, and the song is incredible.

how has this not got a million+ views? crazy

Perfect song to play on your birthday ”la la la la la la”

When the worlds too uch I come back here to remember it is, and im not crazy.

His wife is so pretty 😍😍

ever driven into the horizon and then that song comes on, and everything is awesome? This is that song.

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!! 👑👑

This song is SO DEEP!!!! PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS

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

I love you… Keep pushing. God love you.

It's so nice that he put his family in this video - at least, that's who I'm assuming they are! Also, his alter-egos look kinda like Teletubbies lol!

Too much talent

I love Cee Lo too -- that's why I'm on re-peat - --- I can't wait for some more records PLURAL -- he's got songs for days I know

I'm killing this replay button lol... Love this Song.

So many people sleeping on this song..This da truth! A nigga getting grown paying bills. No more mom dukes!

I love this song I admire him he is Legend and his voice is so different u can't not duplicate it the one and only Ceelo Green I know him personally he's a Great man from Goodie Mop to Fashionista he's my favorite Artist

Wow the lyrics siing a life story that i think many of us who are grown can see thanks be to God
