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
