Mark Battles - Grow lyrics

[Verse 1] Yo yo. Just listen Finally got a chance to speak my mind right? So do I talk about the fine dykes, nine flights in five nights? How these model chicks'll s** dick for lime light Asking for your child but claiming they ain't the mom type (or) Do I use my voice to make a difference? Forget Mercedes Benz's, n***a it's babies missing Can't pay your rent and so you end up with a crazy sentence Purchase an image bought a friendship but won't pay attention (wow) What kind of life you out here starving sort of hard to take advice Regret the bad decisions am I wrong to make it right? My mentor went to prison while he had to pay that price (Let my people go) I'm screaming "free my n***a Jimmy" Cruisin' through the city with 'bout 50 in my skinnies I really came from nothin' so I'm stuntin' like I'm Diddy And all these rappers actors no more Grammy's here's an Emmy Yeah I'm a hater oh well they only give you s**, lies and d** just to sell I wanna be the next guy that thugs really feel And have the white kids like "yo the n***a's trill" Bout to grow some mill and we ain't go and get a deal Hard hat and a hammer let me show you how to build No co-signs or dance songs I did it with my sk** If you wasn't with me in the field never tell me chill [Hook] Let us grow Just let us grow Just let us grow Let us grow [Verse 2] My whole life I was treated like the underdog Don't try my mother y'all pistol in her wonder bra She always told me keep it real and you won't never fall And when you feel it's hard to walk boy you better crawl I lost my brother as a soph*more I wish we fought less and talk more But living how we did it was hardcore It's either get it how you live or live in cardboard No Star Wars it's bullet holes in car doors Our hard chores will stick together and guard yours No D-Wade's or Maya Moore's You don't get a chance what you trying for? [Hook] Let us grow Just let us grow Just let us grow Let us grow
