about

This song is reminder to myself that I don't know everything and with all my experience, I should still be open to learning from my mistakes.

lyrics

And put a lemon in the water for me
Ayo Sharp we gotta go back to the laboratory
My last joint, well you can call that one an allegory
Lessons learned now I’m in a new category
A sadder story when people show their true colors
And try to do you the way you seen ‘em do others
Gotta be more selective who you call brother
Forty years on Earth and still so much to discover
I shudder at the thought that I think I know it all
Cause in any given moment you could need an overhaul
But overall, my mind’s running like Oranthal
In the 70s before the concussion protocols
I’m hoping y’all can pick it up when I drop a gem
This life advice at a price you can cop for ten
An everyman, I ain’t selling you on opulence
My authenticity and passion’s what I’m offering

And that’s just one to grow on. Grow on
Grow on. So, so on and so on
And that’s just one to grow on. Grow on
Grow on. So, so on and so on

I’m in the crib playing fireworks or gunshots
On New Year’s Eve while we’re waiting til the ball drops
Thinking back to puberty and the onslaught
Of questions bout my future, wondering when they’ll all stop
Nowadays I’m not concerned about a due date
It happens when it happens. No such thing as too late
I’m working at my own pace and you can go on race
I set my own finish line and raise my own stakes
I freed myself from the constraints of timelines
That path I took to greatness is a winding, fine line
Now people look at me like I’m some kind of Einstein
I just work my plan instead of acting wanton
A calm mind helps me see from every angle proper
With clarity that’s exceeding the teachings of Chopra
I’m at the DPAC enjoying the sounds of an opera
To the victor goes the spoils, I’m earning my coppers

And that’s just one to grow on. Grow on
Grow on. So, so on and so on
And that’s just one to grow on. Grow on
Grow on. So, so on and so on
