New Flower! (feat. Leon Thomas)

Lyrics for New Flower! (feat. Leon Thomas)

You've grown yourself a flower In the garden See I was like 18 With nothing to my name but overdraft fees Jealous of the rich, trynna get cheese Cause I always knew this life wasn't no breeze And my purpose, like Amerie it was one thing But where I'm from they called it a "farfetched dream" Cause baba don't believe in a sure thing But now he do, cause my wrist like the west wing (Prezi!) I had to grow my garden Planted the seeds, but I was faint hearted The courage it took to get this shit started Meant a new flower had to get sprawling All my friends was having college fun Me? I didn't have the college funds In my head's where I be at Couldn't let the petals die just for a Fiat Believe that! You've grown yourself a flower In the garden Look I was on 145th & St. Nick Taking that A-train down to the mix Complex wasn't really paying me shit And Def Jam had me getting sandwiches Got one for Big Sean but at least he tipped At that 20 saved my life that week In New York but I feeling Memphis Bleek I was eating plain rice and I'm far from cheap nigga Bury me before I'm a burden DIY till my conscious certain But the Garden can't grow if it ain't got purpose (True) Caring for this seed since 2014 I've been watering this motherfucker every damn week I didn't know where i'd be at Growth came slow but it bloomed now we see that, believe that! You've grown yourself a flower In the garden I used to do gardening It's grandpa Aminé He forced you to plant And keep it maintenance and everything So after he come from school then he go to the garden Maintaining it, giving it water, uh stuff like that This is how I grew up And when the sun hits your skin I hope you know you belong where you've been And we'll grow that's fasho But in the end we will be back in the ground Once again Yeah, look We all want success But can you grow up more with less? Cause money changed everything, I see the effects Life time friends think I think of them less (No nigga) I am depressed If people don't like me, then I don't get a check Which means both my parents are staying in debt And I prefer to be the only one that carries the stress Shit, if I'd never got rich, maybe Sunset wouldn't have me sick Cause that crash almost toe tagged my sis Is it my fault that she even had that risk? But fuck what I can't control The best advice I get from myself alone And after all that Portland rain is combined All I need is 13 months of Sunshine And when the sun hits your skin I hope you know you belong where you've been And we'll grow that's fasho But in the end we will be back in the ground Once again
