lyrics

Verse 1:
I tell these rappers
I'm probably more lyrical than I'm vicious
& tell my folks I'm probably more spiritual than religious//
It's real - & I haven't been to church in a while
because I was hurt as a child
& that inserted the doubt//
As a kid battle rappin' til my lungs straight plummet
I told em Id connect with hot lines like 1-800//
You see - I kept it real as I can
Stand with gorillas and fans
Fam's in the villa - ima build us a camp
But My brother's dead - like damn he gone
But he was sly enough - to keep the family stoned//
Kept that pain in my heart as I harbored it
From the start it was marvelous
But these losses are hard to miss//
Heartless often I fought for this
Walk the talk on the cross for this
Started off I was fatherless
Lost in thoughts of a narcissist //
I'm just trying to grow
But it's kinda slow
Put it all on the table like
Dominos//
Mama knows Im a rhymer
But time to time I'm just trying show
Common folks that I'm common, folks
Read the signs when I find the notes//
I just spoke it in chronicles
Chronological order
I promised I would comply
But this time I shot for the border//
Getting outta the country - only cuz I could rap
There's homies I tried to back - but the homies could not adapt//
Local rappers hate me - don't think I'm trying to son y'all
I'm just trying to stack this money for my son, dog//
& if you mad - I'm nice enough to speak & laugh
But if you talking too reckless - I'll probably beat ya ass//
keep it positive, so homies'll try me
Until they understand there ain't a bitch bone in my body//
I used to slap em in the mouth if they ever tried to take mine
& Put em on Pet control - picking up they canines//
But I'm trying to be a different man for my son
if I get arrested again then the damage is done//

Christopher & Landon Hook: repeat 2x
I want to
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Im Screaming mama we made it
Never Sleep until it's time for cremation

Verse:
Im just not who I used to be
My friends ain't even used to me
But none of this is new to me
I'm really just not into it
They asking what I'm finna fix
They barking up the wrong tree
I'm breaking off these stems and sticks
I move missions - I don't care who's listening
Ima stay feeding these bums - like a soup kitchen
Got these crews dissin
I diss right back
Eat em in my sleep - midnight snack//
Put ya style up on a pole & have you stripped like that
& if you playin' hardball then Ima get spiked bats
It's the real baby
I'm just telling you how I feel lately
I do a lot for these rappers but yet they still hate me
& I ain't trying to take control
I just lead the route
call it lawn care - I weed em out
I see every single snake in the grass
They play dirty but I learned it all from taking a bath

Christopher & Landon Hook: repeat 4x
I want to
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Im Screaming mama we made it
Never Sleep until it's time for cremation
