[Verse 1: BBOY ZERO]
I started in the culture spinning on my head
Now I’m an MC, but is that a good idea?
Oversaturation got me tossing in my bed
Then again there aren’t enough men in the arena
Nothing really made me feel full
Until I made my first beat on Logic Pro
And ever since I’ve been focused on trajectory
That’s why I pick and choose the people standing next to me
I haven’t written like this in a while
Let these free thoughts flow on the bank of the Nile
Never thought that I’d improve to become an inspiration
My peers are now pupils, but corneal abrasions
Making life way harder to decipher
All I know is that I belong in a cypher
And this smoke too strong getting higher
Imma preach it to the choir
[Verse 2: Carson Ulmer]
I just wanna grow, real old
I’m tryna get a home, with big windows
So I can just stroll in the sun while I go through it
Tryna get big dough, like deep dish
Do it like so fluent with the money
I can speak to it
Make it talk to the music
Save the money for your future kids
Don’t forget about your mama and your dad
Your sisters and your brothers cause your friends like fam
And don’t forget about your girlfriend
And don’t forget that you’re the man, boy
Tryna get that through your head, boy
I know that this a long time coming down the road
But my progression’s been making me feel close
Yet it’s still so far away from home
Man, I just wanna grow
[Chorus: Carson Ulmer]
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
[Verse 3: BBOY ZERO]
I remember 6th grade listening to Watsky
Thinking “I could do what he does, fuck it watch me”
Now I realize that my taste was just white dudes
Rapping ‘bout their white skin, and that’s just the sad truth
So I branched out, got some Q tips
Found a tribe called quest and some new shit
And I learned there’s a difference between the Mac millers
And the shitty frat kids coming out of suburbs
I respect every element of hip hop
From the boom-bap era to the drop-top
From the bboys dancing at the summer block
Partys to the kids who are growing up with Lil Yacht
There was a time that I knew nothing about this
I tried to fit in but I just felt powerless
But I know I’m on the come-up
Gimme 5 years and I’m gonna get a blood rush
[Chorus: BBOY ZERO and Carson Ulmer]
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
I just wanna grow
I don’t wanna wait anymore
Tryna feel safe in my dome
But I think there may be too many holes
[Outro]
How do you manage to do it all?
To work, to be a performer, to be a producer, to be a businessman, how can you manage to handle that?
God’s Business
Well, but somewhere James fits into it too, doesn’t he?
No, God’s Business
God’s Business?
That’s right
And the energy level keeps going?
God’s Business
What do you want to do next, James?
Keep on living
And anything else? any mountains to climb?
Only when God give me
