Alone when I was growin' up
|
Sometimes you, sometimes me
|
Always love
|
Train hard and I'mma focus up
|
Got it all but ain't have enough
|
|
Alone when I was growin' up
|
Sometimes you, sometimes me
|
Always love
|
Train hard and I'mma focus up
|
Got it all but ain't have enough
|
|
I'm out the shed and the tools brand new
|
Dear momma droppin' jewels that I never ran through
|
The most driven never sat up in the back seat
|
The most forgiven never flaggin' down a taxi
|
That's my word if it's meant to outgrow
|
Lake I used to run home to catch the last of my show
|
Some move to the future others livin' it slow
|
Old tunes tryin' to find where the memories flow
|
You know I try to chase 'them down no dragon
|
They shot a Beatle do people still imagine?
|
I think the world could be a better place
|
No fam but I still set a table and I said its grace
|
I think I let you in my life all access
|
Gift or cursed, it's cursive closed captions
|
Misinterpretin' the passion
|
Saving face ain't a game, ain't a time for retractions
|
I learn one way then front the opposite
|
I learn behind the beat, now I learn on top of it
|
I do go against the grain
|
I do take bigger pictures that don't fit in the frame
|
|
Alone when I was growin' up

|
Describe the ink well
|
Thoughts sketch a snapshot
|
Vibrant check thedetails now the family eats well
|
Used to cut the mould off bricks for grilled cheese melts
|
Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how things fell
|
Mansions and lap pools asleepin' on back pews
|
Pictures and statues , roaches and raps move
|
Thankfully I seen it all alive and I'm grateful
|
With Curtis Mayfield singing 'Just be Thankful'
|
Slappin' at a glass house, true colour
|
Couple old cats on the roof covered
|
Nodded and they nodded back
|
Respect acknowledged
|
Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are our college
|
California campus I studied abroad
|
Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, what if he shrugged?
|
The rich lady asked what if we thugged?
|
Humanity said I'm feelin' drowsy what is the drug?
|
Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two
|
Help the elevators check the levels that we grown through
|
Philanthropic maybe cause I did my dirt
|
There I'm on it, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted
|
Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers
|
No more keep close to the dreamers
|
Awake tryin' to live dreams physically, energy is extreme
|
Lessons of infinity envisioned on the big screen
|
|
Alone when I was growin' up
|
Sometimes you, sometimes me
|
Always love
|
Train hard and I'mma focus up
|
Got it all but ain't have enough

Always love
