[Verse 1: Francis]
I've been laughing, i ain't sad, and i don't sweat it
I fell fast, as soon as seconds i met her
But now we're homies, and everytime it's ended, least i get to
Message Kelsey or make some music with Miss Bennett
Now people guess that i'm unlucky with more women
Instead, the truth is i feel lucky to know women
Who are keeping it so real, and are so dope and are so with it, and so open
I've got hope that my daughter will grow singing
Flow lyrics so loud, lolo is gon' hear it
Now she won't eat her food, cuz she's busy with more spittin'
She gon know spirit, learn quick to love fearless
When she gets to hear this, she prolly gon' make the remix
My love — you were raised here by a village
I hope that you can feel it, the family gon' bring it
These are your alliances, you'll live out a fantasy
The lion says family, plant a seed
[Hook: Francis]
We can grow a garden
We can grow a garden now
[Verse 2: Francis]
I've got a thing growing, like some flowers in my brain
A bouquet that's kinda hard to explain, so pardon the game
They're crowding my space, and if i'm real, i feel some type of way
Iunno how many more love songs imma write today
I think it's right to say, i feel i write it all for H.E.R
Honestly, i think we'd build more home than a carpenter
She the jealous type though, think it's gon be hard for H.E.R
The best advice might be to never fall for a gardener
She's raising the bar, so i raise the bars for H.E.R
She's the cream of the crop, she the one i harvest first
[Corny-a** fool]...in the field, she's down to earth
This flow is the water, and over time we gon' garner worth
Offer H.E.R. to off the hurt — something happens when the heart is sure
It just starts making some more artful work
More parchment could never harbour this author's words
Artists couldn't capture H.E.R. starburst
[Hook: Francis & K!mmortal]
I promised her a garden
I promised her a garden now
I promised her a garden
You gon get a garden now
[Refrain: K!mmortal]
All this love
Will grow for you
It's coming up in time
We'll blossom this life
[Verse 3: Francis]
Goodness takes time, gardens grow slowly
Every morning, lola used to water plants at home with me
Starting every day with an effort to grow some elegance
Surround yourself with beauty and intelligence and melanin
Tell the fellas feminism ain't really a threat to ‘em
Gentlemen won't ever build their sentiments on sediment
Or settle with prejudice or something short of excellence
That's level headed and doesn't meddle with any arrogance
*erra erra* start from scratch a new era
We gotta do errands for undoing dudes' errors
When you're deep in the dirt, it's okay to be there
So find your roots, the flowers need to grow from somewhere
[Hook: Francis & K!mmortal]
We can grow a garden
We can grow a garden now
[Verse 4: Francis]
Real talk is i thought i'd invite you over like
All the vibes lined up, had both of us writing poems like
Each moment's an open mic, and only rhymes
Could've told our stories right
Oversight, i thought i'd get over you overnight
We both listened to Solo by the ocean light, frankly
I want you to do you, so don't you mind
I'm rapping happily, this a beautiful mess then
I've had the baddest habit of gravity for my best friends
It ain't an issue, just something that we've been through
Love ain't what we fall for, it's something we grow into
I just dare to care in this life, and if it ain't right
I got your back, and i'll marry the mic
