SoulChef - Grown lyrics

[Verse 1: Hydroponikz] Amongst the youngsters, never hung with no punks Since 8th grade, make way, never faking the funk My crew wasn't deep, but quality wise, was large Back then, we wasn't humble we were trying to be stars But couldn't reach them. I was kinda short but I could speak And they could never mind the height, I sounded big up on the sequence Don't mistake me for a rapper jocking your late beats It's been straight heat since I was at school on 188th street Was a beast with the pen... well at least to my friends My job is to ensure the rap's means meet with the ends Despite the storm, I just write, record, 'til the hype is more Was between a stellar guy and terrified, what am I fighting for? I'm certified. Rippin' apart my shirt and tie Unlimited bars, for certain, I have determined I am like Simba I deal with Scars trying to hurt my Pride Look how I've grown, do it all on my own as I verbalize [Hook: Hydroponikz] They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown when I'm up on the track, the track You ain't alone, said you'd never look back But I was wrong, let's just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back Now I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back [Verse 2: Hydroponikz] Millennium, flow's venom, windbreakers sport denim True b-boy, Nike Cortez with holes in them First show was grade school, flowin' like a wave pool My addiction is the stage, blowin' up like grenades do Huh? Asian Rap? There's fame in that? Well, obviously Some people making mockeries but I don't let that bother me I just keep moving, pursuing the goals that I can see These professions I can be, there ain't no way they're stopping me Drinkin' Eating well, getting healthy I wasn't a college dropout but I might as well be Skipped calculus and engineering, said that I'd be wealthy, instead I thought that writing rhymes would bring me the bread My Buzz was Light-years ahead, but this was just a campus Me and my boys wasn't toys, writing party anthems The goal was: King size, in my eyes Mesmerized, from the earth to the sky, no lie The bu*terfly feeling [Hook: Hydroponikz] They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown when I'm up on the track, the track You ain't alone, said you'd never look back But I was wrong, let's just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back Now I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back [Verse 3: Hydroponikz] And now, I'm graduated, agitated at the hardships Wondering if I can really get as far as these stars get And now they rapping about money, cars, and Starships I'm rapping for the food but they're just rhyming for the market Damn, my timing must be off, kid. They tell me that I'm old And that the 90s style is gone, kid. Well, I don't disagree But this is all that I be working with And is it cause it's d**h that I like flirting with? Certainly. My name is Hydroponikz, don't you try to spark me Artsy, but my New York game is John Starks-ly 4-5-6, roll Ceelo like it's Yahtzee Some Youtube fame but wonder what that really got me But before you tell me put on a suit I'm 'a kick in the door and put my foot in it, too So they better be prepared for the moment that I show up Plenty time to grow up after I blow up, motherf--- [Hook: Hydroponikz] They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back I'm grown when I'm up on the track, the track You ain't alone, said you'd never look back But I was wrong, let's just take a look back, look back They say I'm grown, let's just take a look back Now I'm grown, lets just take a look back, look back
