[Verse 1: GrewSum]

I've been doing this a long time, so it's hard to imagine my life without it

Even though I went through a couple periods where I tried to quit, give up, even tried announcing it

But the music wouldn't let me go

My mind would erect these flows, too natural

Tried dousing the flame, the light just grows by itself to the point that there might be hope

I like these notes and the melodies

That my mind keeps telling me

Eventually I had to lay 'еm down again to get 'em out my head

'Causе I was about to get myself back in a rut like I had never seen

The beat hit my brain

It was sending me back to the days when I felt like a better me

I was feeling like a piece of shit until I put the pencil to the paper and I knew I found the remedy

Immediately hit a brick wall

People don't forget the times that you were acting like a bitch dawg

Looking at me thinking "Get lost"

'Cause they don't know about my problems, they just notice how I flip-flop

And I get it man, I really do

In hindsight it was ridiculous the way that I was switching moods

But now I know that I'm a different dude

I needed help, I had to face it, that was just the plain and simple truth

So I got it and I noticed that the problem is that people just assume that you never will improve

So when you do it the truth is your movements do little to prove that the truth is the truth


[Pre-Chorus: GrewSum]

You can't really do too much that can change how they view you, naw

It's gonna take some getting used to

Hearing people say that they don't love me like they used to, huh


[Chorus: GrewSum]

Grew, I used to really love yo shit

Grew, I used to roll around and bump yo shit

But I lost all hope when you damn near quit

Three times, in my eyes it didn't make no sense

I know, I hope that you'll give me this chance to redeem myself

'Cause I've grown, and I'll show everybody if you just give me the time

Grew, I used to really love yo shit

Grew, I used to roll around and bump yo shit

But I lost all hope when you damn near quit

Three times, in my eyes it didn't make no sense

I know, I hope that you'll give me this chance to redeem myself

'Cause I've grown, and I'll show everybody if you just give me the time


[Verse 2: GrewSum]

If you would just allow me to show you the ways that I changed and I ain't like the old Grew

I finally broke through the unstable phases, came face-to-face with the cold truth

I was ashamed of being that way

Felt insane, became what I hated the most too

Pushed away everybody, feeling jaded

I hated everyone, even people I was close to

Knowing that I wasn't normal would eat at me

Seemingly I couldn't do anything to fix it

It just got worse day-by-day

I can say I agree that I seemed like a dipshit

One minute I would be just fine

It wouldn't take much and my demeanor would switch quick

Then I'd be locked in a long-lasting bout of depression, guessing it would be best to just quit

Took my whole life falling apart

My heart getting broke wide open to notice the real me

No longer was I allowed to hide inside of my foolish pride and not feel things

There's consequences, I would have to pay the price for my choices, it got expensive

My [constant endless?], need to always feel right

Lost me friendships, I would not suggest it

I got upset with everyone at some point over nothing

I wish I could go back and undo

The last ten years of overreactions

But you can't no matter how bad you want to


[Pre-Chorus: GrewSum]

You can't really do too much that can change how they view you, naw

It's gonna take some getting used to

Hearing people say that they don't love me like they used to, huh


[Chorus: GrewSum]

Grew, I used to really love yo shit

Grew, I used to roll around and bump yo shit

But I lost all hope when you damn near quit

Three times, in my eyes it didn't make no sense

I know, I hope that you'll give me this chance to redeem myself

'Cause I've grown, and I'll show everybody if you just give me the time

Grew, I used to really love yo shit

Grew, I used to roll around and bump yo shit

But I lost all hope when you damn near quit

Three times, in my eyes it didn't make no sense

I know, I hope that you'll give me this chance to redeem myself

'Cause I've grown, and I'll show everybody if you just give me the time
