Growing Up/Mother God

Rollin' up, hmm
 Get high for the lows, lows, lows
 You move to fast you need to slow it up, hmm
 Ease your mind and take it slow, slow, slow
 I know, I know
 I done been through some things but I'm still right here
 Through the hurt, through the pain, overcame my fears
 I must be growing up, hmm
 Maybe not, I don't know, know, know
 Okay, okay
 Woah nigga, woah nigga
 Mostly a nigga look just like me
 Okay, go nigga, go nigga
 Motivate nigga, you just might be, okay
 World made us cold, niggas tales from the hood like my nigga Spike Lee
 So you know I gotta stay on my toes
 Nigga ain't shit sweet, sugar honey, ice tea, okay
 Told niggas, one-two-three, way back, that the flow clean like Ajax
 It's a big payback, if you switch sides, no take back
 You know homie, don't play that shit
 Whole lot of manifestin' goin' on
 With a fortune like a young Pat Sajak
 Hard to find like a needle in a haystack
 Baby I need my space, that's why I'm
 Rollin' up, hmm
 Get high for the lows, lows, lows (Lows, lows, lows)
 You move to fast you need to slow it up, hmm
 Ease your mind and take it slow, slow, slow (Slows, slow, slow)
 I know, I know
 I done been through some things but I'm still right here
 Through the hurt, through the pain, overcame my fears
 I must be growing up, hmm
 Maybe not, I don't know, know, know (Know, know, know)
 Okay, uh, okay
 I'm doin' everything in 2019, so in 2020 I could see clearly
 I'm tired of makin' the same new
 Years resolutions on the fuckin' yearly
 I'm on the road to riches, in my own lane, let my soul steer me
 But even in the belly of the beast
 Was still God's son, I mean that sincerely
 Hope I never let Nas down
 But Nas ain't the nigga that'll need to hear me, why?
 He already got a million, but my niggas still stuck at the bottom
 Feelin' like there ain't no one who really got em
 Livin' like there ain't no fuckin' tomorrow really
 'Cause there might not be no damn tomorrow
 I swear we livin' on time that's borrowed
 I talk to God, I was like, "God", God was like, "What's up?"
 I was like "Shit, my bad Cuz"
 She was like "Nigga, please told y'all to come how you is
 What's on your mind? I already know
 Wouldn't be much of a God unless I did"
 I was like "True, so what would you recommend I do?
 'Cause I'm stressed enough as it is"
 God was like "Look, my nigga
 You didn't have to make it this far, but look what you did
 Flow like the wind
 We don't judge a fish when it fly nine or ten birds swim
 Be what you is, even when it hurt you
 Really we just out here to serve a purpose
 I set the stage, play roll them curtains
 Better make it worth
 Pass me the blunt, I see you"
 Rollin' up, hmm
 Get high for the lows, lows, lows (Lows, lows, lows)
 You move to fast you need to slow it up, hmm
 Ease your mind and take it slow, slow, slow (Slows, slow, slow)
 I know, I know, I done been through some things
 But I'm still right here (Still right here)
 Through the hurt, through the pain
 Overcame my fears (Overcame my fears)
 I must be growing up, hmm
 Maybe not, I don't know, know, know (know, know, know)
 Okay, uh, okay
 Hey, baby, I'm so proud of you
 You've been workin' so hard
 I know it's been a hard dream
 And a very long dream
 To see you go through your ups and downs
 I just thought let me talk and think about it
 Because I know that, you really deserve this
 Like, you're so deservin' of this
 I can't wait to see what your future looks like
 Keep workin' hard, keep pushin'
 And remember you're the greatest, I love you
 My darlin', darlin'
 Ay, ay
 So when they ask me why I think God is a woman
 And I said your momma cookin' must not be as good as mine
 Your lil' sister must not warm your
 Spirit when you see her crack a smile
 And you never seen one hold a child, in her arms
 That she just birthed
 Hands down, man walkin' this Earth surface
 Sure the closest thing I done seen to perfect
 Girl I'm with now is a nurse and workin' two jobs on the side
 Still tryna find purpose
 Givin' love to those who need it and not just those who deserve it
 That's the type of shit that make me love her more
 Couldn't cut her loose if I had scissors, this love galore
 She bring me peace, and no she ain't street in the least
 But if it's beef
 I know that she'll hold the heat for me like the oven door
 Really becomin' more and more convinced that I love y'all
 But y'all may love me more
 I don't think that I can compete with my mother's joy
 Seein' her baby boy live out his dreams 'cause years ago
 I wasn't even sure what I was livin' for
 Just know I love more than life itself
 My heart cold but I know the ice can melt
 How I'm your son but you shine like one
 And all them tears you cried for me
 To get through 'em, you must be Michael Phelps
 As the cards in this life get dealt
 I know I always got me some queens
 All my grandmas, partners, cousins and aunties
 Always on time like Ashanti
 Whether I need me some advice
 Or just wanna talk but it haunt me to this day
 That I ain't go see Brianna up in her hospital bed
 Convinced myself I had a lot on my head
 It ain't a lot, 'cause at the time then I did
 Lessons learned
 Putting things I should do today, off for tomorrow instead
 You, my momma, Nick, Grant and Brandon and Lina, mama Jay
 Auntie Tiarra, Jae, Tenay, auntie Kena, Claudine and Claudette
 Steph and Josette, Icy and Lisa, miss Tina
 Caroline, Blaire and Amethyst, Khi, Amina
 Made sure I started with love like Serena
 And if love is God and God is love
 Then these a couple places I've seen
 Started with love like Serena
 If love is God and God is love
 Man
 I mean woman, yeah
