Blossom
Modyst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thriving off of work ethic and skill 'cause I don't know luck
In the past I made a habit acting passive so they never saw my passion
Now I'm living out my dream because I spoke up
It's crazy
If you got it, ain't no reason to bluff
Just show 'em bout it, ain't no need to say much
What's your vision? Just know you slippin when you think it's enough
Don't ever let up
Take the fall. They can talk. Shake em off. Thank em
They showed u all the records yet, and still I'm out to break em
Handed all the tools you never use so imma take 'em
Say you want it more than ever but your actions say you're fakin'
Foster that knowledge 'cause that shit's a weapon
Let's say you packed away your accolades, now what you left with
Most of your friends will turn their backs away within a second
You spent the past procrastinating
Should've been invested in your craft
Your pockets broke but you're mentally affluent
Knowledge is power, just know the money comes after it
Yea, you failed the test but you understood half of it
Now, imagine that if you actually practice it
Fuck motivation 'cause that shit is fickle
Fix your lack of self control and your commitment issues
Notice that you never progress because you play the victim
Blame it on yourself for once, it's time to listen for a change
And get the fuck up out your comfort zone for once in your life
You ain't doing shit special if it you ain't once sacrificed
Your effort is of the essence
Your character will be tested
The rest for you is a lesson
They'll burry you if you let them
But let them; 'cause they don't see that you're a seed about to sprout
To optimize your growth weeds are weeded out the ground
Summon them out. They're steadily running around, utterly gunning for clout
Keep it in your heart. The unsuccessful speak it from they mouth
Transmute to kings and queens - they seek to obsolete yo crown
Now take heed of where they're from, it seems to often be your town
The closest people spite you on the under
Delight at all your plights and hope you slip into a slumber
But nah, don't let up. Cant let up
Eyes dilated like I was on amphetas
Smiles finally fading cause I got my plan set up
Why the fact that we finally eatin got they klan fed up
Man, step up. We some fuckin trend setters
They hate us on the under like they got a vendetta
They shade us 'til the sun up cuz they see us on the come up
Let 'em feel the pressure everytime they take a glance at us
Relax a bit, but don't you let up because that's how you fail
And take a sec to learn yourself and know ya value well
You'll backpedal but recoup from all your losses
Don't focus on the pedals; cultivate the root; you'll blossom
Grow
