Growth
Fortified Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

2015 and I′ve hit 21
Transitions, I've been through some
I thank God for the things He′s done
Cah it's only by His Grace that I'm here still strong

Connect with my music that′s what I′m on
Write lines that connect through songs
Relate with the content, truth with the substance
Vibe out every time that they pump this

Change in a perspective, My approach is the thing it's affected
In your approach, perspective was reflected
See that truth, no way I can reject this

Ain′t suggesting I've reached full perfection
Nah bredrin, far from that section
By grace, believe I′m still pending
No friend requesting still need correction

No auto correct
I write down all the thoughts I reflect
It's been along way from using headsets
To make songs that was back in ′010

About 5 years, lot of change since then
You say I lost passion, since when?
Increase my faith when it gets intense
Cah the light's at the end of tunnel, is all bless

Times ticking gotta grow now
Tell my old self, gotta go now
In my safe zone, gotta go out
Man I gotta go out

Couple years on, man I learnt few things
Keep those that appreciate worth deep in
Those make you contemplate deep things
Forget those that doubt every work you bring

The first ones to holla when table dun flip
I've grown up man I ain′t a young kid
It is what it is, like fam it ain′t a thing
Forget talking, straight up actions thing

Friends, are they down till the end
Or different from what I thought to begin
Became more cautious with calling
The same people with attitudes that straight up appalling

Had to be real to myself as I thought this
It's not everyday man I ain′t tryna force it
With people that don't respect me & neglect me
I′ll keep working on the fruits that they've yet seen

It′s so apparent
Tryna get it cracking, increasing my passion with this rapping
I'll be tryna make it happen, no wisdom is getting shattered
Deviating from the madness, bringing truth to the masses

If you got a passion, develop it, don't just bury it
They will be no plants if the seed wasn′t buried in
Fruits without putting the work? the line′s very thin
Non-existent, you get what my drift is?

Times ticking gotta grow now
Tell my old self, gotta go now




In my safe zone, gotta go out
Man I gotta go out
