GROWTH

I used to dive in it, now I stay by the shore
'Cause when you reside in it your eyes be tinted way much more
Than usual, cloudy judgment ain't viewable
To the people that be trapped in them
All that glitters ain't plat-in-num
Or gold partner I chose proper, but yet and still
Could never birth something real like contraceptive pills
Ouu, 'cause I swear I used to feel
Like relationships were built on getting draws being ideal
But it wasn't cousin that dirty dozen of gangstas
That instilled that up in my mental really ain't have credentials
'Cause you know they fatherless and never really bother with the fact
That all they lil intuition came from super fictitious low key
Malicious doctrine taught by the elders on
The block but when you ain't that close to heaven
Hell, you give what you got
Ouu, even if it is rooted in ignorance
Most captives don't recognize that deliverance
Is necessary to counter hereditary incompetence
Even if you innocent you still guilty
It is hard to feel me
Grew up jammin so fresh and so clean
But still was born filthy holy cow I be feeling milky
When I think about all the lil floozies that was drawn to me
And let me dig them out when no doubt I was just
Naw scratch, look
When I was really just searching for
Something deeper, went on tour for my purpose
No Justin Bieber
To every lil mama boppin that I called skeezer
Wish I could tell you, you are one in a million
Word to Aaliyah ouu
You are one in a million
You are one in a million (You are one in a million)

And you're exquisite, yuh, made perfect without a blemish
Flawless, sole purpose is to replenish
Water, the earth until it is finished, and that's a long time
A mighty long time, a long time, so so so so long
Or is it? Hell, I don't know though
But if it ain't, I hope you find a ring like master Frodo
I pray a life over you indicative of Risotto
That's a lot of cheese and sauce. It take a lot to be a boss
Feel like often we are lost the vision that shifted us
From the prison to the cross
My mission is simply just to depict that we have flaws
Within us but don't be ignorant, inclement weather
Falls on everything breathing, that law (Ouu)

You are one in a million
You are one in a million (You are one in a million)

And you deserve everything you lack and more
Wish I could take back all the pain that you endured
You deserve everything you lack and more
Wish I could take back all the pain that you endured
But loving you was necessary
Necessary, baby, it was necessary
Necessary for you
Necessary for you
