Grow

My cuz said hey Darko
Let's go to the store
I'm hungry and I'm tired of these worn out clothes
I said yo you know we are poor
They staring at us when we walk thru the door

He said that's cool we ain't paying no more
They owe us we broke and this EBT is a
Joke I gotta pay hot tax so my sandwich is cold
Now off we go

It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more

Now I'm only 14
Washing cop cars in the summer heat
The other kids are out there playing
Eating their government cheese and being free

But not me
I gotta act a fool and be cool
Cause a scene cos no ones paying
Attention to me or at least so it seems
No ones hearing my dreams

It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more

So I drink and I smoke think everything is a joke
Then how come everyone else is having a life and I'm actually the joke
With no future and freedom and my dreams go up in smoke

Soon I'll be behind bars
Graduate from washing cop cars
My homie said it's jail not Yale
Lord don't leave locked in this cell

It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more
It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more

You think you are alone and no ones looking out for you
But someone is and that's not true
Someone cares for everyone of you
You have a voice and I'm hearing you
You are important too
You have a voice and I'm hearing you

It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more
It's alright it's ok to say no
It's better than the clap clap clap and the sound of the prison doors
No play time no more
