T.J. Ellison - Growing lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I know, that I'm far from perfect I've made my share of mistakes in life I've walked several miles in my shoes over the years But as I walked those miles I kept growing [Verse 1] I keep it real, there's no pretendence, I show my independence No days off I got perfect attendance I get the job done after I make a entrance Big-T proves he's got a set in his pants Taking a chance, hustling locally and long distance I'm a truth teller, no liar, I was that way prior I'll be that way after I retire, my entire life, I give 100 Heard giving anything less means you don't want it I walk in a pair of shoes that's gonna fit, me As I become what I'm meant to be In the W.O.R.L.D I'm living in, I'm never giving up or giving in To adversity that I've seen with the help between me and my team So I stay on track of fulfilling my dream and more I had the same work ethic Since I was four, years of age, new age new page, yeah So I keep going, keep growing, show I got what it takes To do almost anything dude and leave my mark like dry glue [Hook] x2 Keep going and I keep growing I keep going and I keep growing I keep going and I keep growing I don't wanna worsen, I wanna be a better person [Verse 2] I back down from none, my race I run, to get things done I bust each bun I do it for me, and every loved one In my world, including my future son and my future girl Which is why I keep climbing like a squirrel You're looking for the man for the job My people often bring me up as a referral Cause I always put that work in, shinning like pearls on girls It makes haters hurl, then curl up into a ball As I ball for what I can get my hands on It ain't child's play I handle my biz like a grown man son I don't be running the streets with a hand gun on my side I don't want bullsh**, to be how I died, that's why I stay in my lane And enjoy my ride, I ain't afraid, to swallow my pride I keep it real like the news in morning, noon, evening and at night At eleven don't insult my intelligence, I get smarter by the second And I... Keep evolving, and I keep problem solving [Hook] x2 [Verse 3] I take things one step at a time, as I climb this mountain in front of me I keep the faith, GOD's blessings are a must see My haters hate I brush my shoulders off cause they get very dusty (yeah) Jealousy, is what it must be But I don't lose a beat I continue to move my feet towards success I don't like to do defeat, I do me, I'm no repeat I'll fight to the end, I'll never retreat I keep coming 'til mission complete I'm not some weak, individual I have a strong body and mind, I can get physical Like the best of them and the rest of them Big-T's a underdog, but don't be second guessing him Because he always pa**es by who, or whatever's testing him I keep growing daily, weekly, monthly, yearly In front of people who come near me, often, I don't soften [Hook] x4
