J1k Beats - The Growth lyrics

Sometimes you gotta know when to let go... Nothing lasts forever, right?... What's past is past... They be like...damn Fritz, you use to wile with ya n***as... (Verse 1) They be like...damn Fritz, you used to wile with ya n***as/ Now you got the nerve to smile in your pictures/ Saying you done switched up/ Got a different style in your stance/ Like it's cool when you're struggling, but it's time to advance/ This wasn't in the plans...now I'm closer to 30/ Than I thought I'd ever be, and honestly I was worried/ That life was pa**ing me by with every blunt and every bottle/ Not saying those nights was wasted, but I'm looking at tomorrow/ Got love for all my n***as like y'all don't even know/ So I'm writing this from the heart, cause it's the best way to show/ That despite how we grew apart, y'all always stay on my mind/ And I got you with any fortune I should happen to find/ But I...long for a better way of living, a given/ If I stay on this path, it's either d**h or prison, forgive him/ If I don't come around no more...hope you understand/ It's nothing personal, y'all n***as still my fam... But I gotta grow (Chorus background-Last Days) I love my n***as that's why I never put money up above my n***as (2x) (Chorus) Yo, all that blunt smoking and drinking and sh**...that was cool when we was youngins, but...I can't be on the same sh** a dacade later and another decade pa** and n***as is broke That sh**'s not nice I'm just doing what I gotta do to progress so that one day I could progress so that one day we could progress, you know what I'm saying? (Verse 2) Circumstances brought us together, life pulled us apart/ We were brothers from different mothers and been down from the start/ Ain't no p**y, money or reefer worth the struggles we shared/ Any issues or altercations, n***as knew I was there/ The Lord gave me ambition as a gift and a curse/ And it drives me to put in work, see what my lyrics are worth/ So while I'd love to sip liquors and crack jokes with my friends/ My biggest fear is reminiscing bout what could've been/ I love my n***as to d**h...but improving my life/ Is my priority, you know it and the feeling is trife/ If I succeed then it's worth it, and if I don't then I'm worthless/ And I know I ain't perfect, but for my n***as it's certain/ I'm...25 with a dream to see the world/ And inspire all the boys and girls/ Used to be for all the drinking and the smoke/ But I'm older now, love y'all but we both/ Know I gotta grow Yeah, one love to my n***a Keem you already know what it is My n***a T, Chug Beans, Jigga Blacka, hope you touch down one of these days, n***as miss you My n***a Red, I know you don't f** with me, but I f**s with you My n***a Rowe...you know you can't ball with me, but you could try I love all my n***as, my n***a Grimes you a funny a** n***a, but I f**s with you Love all my n***as And don't get it twisted, neither I ain't forget about y'all it's just I got an opportunity I gotta chase... So I chase it...
