Growth

I was down bad
But I came up off the ground like a bounce pass
Ain't talkin' good about me, they just wanna make me sound bad
They tryna make me look bad
It ain't something they good at
Too worried about my future, it's some things I gotta look past
& I ain't got time to look sad
Give em something to look at
If I'm ever close to defeat
Give em a foot tag
I mean a toe tag
To show em, I ain't playin' with his hoe ass
Have that boy run to ya door
He work for Door Dash
Mama said I need to slow down
Stop moving so fast
Made it out the house, now I'm grown
This shit ain't so bad
It's still times where I really be wishing that I could go back
Us kids be in a rush to grow up
We runnin' 4 flats
Don't rush your childhood
Just slow down, can't run on 4 flats
Tell them youngins to pump all them brakes
They ain't got no gas
I'm just tellin' the truth
Why everybody gettin' so mad?
People lie to my face
I don't even lie on my back
Always keep it 100
I can't ever lie on these tracks
Like I see a train coming
I'm moving, I ain't a dummy
That's stupid
You won't ever catch me giving up
Only got one life to live
So why not live it up?
I ain't gotta make it in rap to be happy & that's no cap
As long as a nigga make it to Heaven, I'm cool with that
& that's facts
Slow down
Cause we just moving too fast
Cause moving too fast, it's probably some shit you gone pass
Why everything gotta be in hurry?
Life's looking blurry
Cause we never know when we gone get buried
That makes me worried
I ain't gotta make it in rap to be happy & that's no cap
As long as a nigga make it to Heaven, I'm cool with that
& that's facts
Cause we already been through hell & back
So why would we go back to that?
Why would we go back to that?
Why not give it all you got like it's the only thing you have?
Cause I been tryna play it safe, so I been only giving half
& tell em that's it all I have
I tell em, then they start to laugh
I ain't tryna ask for help
Cause I ain't tryna overstep
But ain't no 50/50 when you tryna do it by yourself
I ain't where I wanna be
But I know how to get there
I just made a right turn
The GPS told me to go left
My right turn to a wrong turn
It got me second guessing myself
Like wait
Hold up
It's more than one way to get there
Ima get there when I get there
& when I get there
Lord
When I get there
Gotta act like I already been there
Like it ain't nothing new to me
I do this often
I'm so professional with it
Like I'm one of the bosses
Learned some lessons from my losses
& that got me moving cautious
I'm so sick of all this shit, swear it got me feeling nauseous
Since I started, I been tryna make a mark, Don't need a marker
When they see you moving up, you just become a moving target
Making moves will only make a nigga move until you stopping
So when I move, I move like it's the only move, no other option
& If I don't make it in rap
Then Ima keep on slanging boxes
Cause tbh I ain't finna sit around jobless
Ima make it in something & I put that on my mama
Just know that Ima be good regardless
I promise
