[Intro]

Hoping that you'll find you some peace of mind

I'm just keeping time, trying to clear the line

You don't come around, you don't hold me down

You don't lean on to me, who gon' link arms with me

[Verse 1]

I've been waiting too long for it to get like this

Seasons change, but I didn't think it'd get like this

I was looking 'round but ain't find one like me

Searched the galaxy and I was hitchhiking

This the stuff that you could only dream about at night, yeah

Booked a flight to Paris just to take in all the lights, yeah

I don't smoke, but she make me feel higher than a kite, mm

If you think that I ain't got it, you can't be too bright, hah

Shout out to mont fraser, paid him $20 to make art

Now papers turn to canvas, turning my words into paintings

Uh huh, yes I'm only 18 but I feel like I'm like 25

Some days I ain't none but some days I'm the coolest kid alive

Simon say, lean on to me

I'm not your bae, here come the day

It's not my time, it's not my place

But I'ma grind it anyway

[Verse 2]

Back up off me

Sick of all these super loopy lucid car dreams

They've been getting vivid, too vivid for me to handle

So just park the car please

Wish that I could take the freeway instead of the back streets

Used to sit on the backburner thinking about the summer

And now I'm greatly thankful for all that I'm learning from her

Just like ashes turn to phoenix, my rock bottom turned to zenith

And either way I'd rather be with Gretchen than Regina

You can take to the bank anything that I've vocalized

I switch up pretty often just to keep y'all so surprised

In the heat of the moment, I'd freeze up

And reach a compromise

Now I'm tryna shrink my ego, grow my heart to oversized, alright

[Bridge]

How they signed Johnny Givez to a label

Seemed that it was fateful, prayed for

Bigger dreams and richer schemes that Interscope would pay for

Just to realize that all the time that wasted ended fatal?

I learned my lesson, I'ma sleep on suits like I'm in cradles

[Verse 3]

Planted seeds here and there

Poured some water then leave 'em there

Just to give 'em some time to breathe

And then break through the earth to see

Roots to sprouts to blossomed crops

That grow so large, they crack the pots

And build a forest of bamboo

That you and I could travel through

See, I thought that I could do this on my own but really

I've come to realize that riding solo's silly

You ever seen a field of flowers with only one stem in it?

Used to think I was strong as Popeye, minus the spinach

And I ain't finished, I rock I roll I bloom

I grow a couple more inches, tryna blossom my soul

Never worry 'bout my image

I'm scrimmaging to leave your head spinning

Until I'm winning it

I'ma grow, give me a minute, bloom
