Direction

I grow whatever that I want from out my yard
Got out the streets, I wanted more than bricks and tar
All I knew is I jumped head first off the porch
Control your hand, take your time and play your cards
From the backseat to the stars I'm going far
The universe gone welcome us with open arms
Y'all set the standards, we just came to raise the bars
You'll need direction when it's time to make your choice

I lost some things that I ain't need to learn some lessons
I take heed then I proceed to count my blessings
Woke up to yoga and hot tea I'm doing stretches
One thing you might not ever see and that's me stressing
Before I let you turn this game off Ima tech it
Studied how my family moved then got connected
I'm getting better with my balance shit been hectic
I be minding my lil bidness folk respect it
In life you learn that can't nobody treat you better
Than yourself and you gone need to ask some questions
What you don't know may be direction to your message
You ain't done what we attempting ain't no telling

I grow whatever that I want from out my yard
Got out the streets, I wanted more than bricks and tar
All I knew is I jumped head first off the porch
Control your hand, take your time and play your cards
From the backseat to the stars I'm going far
The universe gone welcome us with open arms
Y'all set the standards, we just came to raise the bars
You'll need direction when it's time to make your choice

This shit be jumping when I re up it be gone
I need to rest but I can't tell it leave me lone
Good to the throne cause we was raised to keep it strong
This life gone make you look and question what you on
Bad to the bone was how we thought we had to be
No sympathy or empathy that's ain't for me
The folks I looked up to had came up off the streets
At least from where I stood and what I used to see
I'm looking back at all that like it was a dream
You gotta travel just to learn some different things
Your limitations just reflecting what you think
It all can happen while you close your eyes to blink

I grow whatever that I want from out my yard
Got out the streets, I wanted more than bricks and tar
All I knew is I jumped head first off the porch
Control your hand, take your time and play your cards
From the backseat to the stars I'm going far
The universe gone welcome us with open arms
Y'all set the standards, we just came to raise the bars
You'll need direction when it's time to make your choice
