Growth
Roni.O Lyrics

My life been a puzzle, jigsaw
My life has been complex and challenging, like trying to solve a puzzle

I went from a puppy to a big dog
I have grown and matured from being inexperienced and naive to being confident and successful

I ain't just no runaround slick talk
I am not just someone who talks a lot without substance or purpose

Now I'm pulling strings, guitar, guitar, guitar
Now I am in control and making things happen, like playing a guitar and creating music

I guess that calendar say that I'm twenty-six
According to the calendar, I am twenty-six years old

Since I was in the fifth mama told me to give them fists
Since I was a child, my mother taught me to stand up for myself and fight for what I believe in

Pushed me out the doorway
My mother pushed me to face challenges and step outside my comfort zone

Chasing girls around the school, a lotta horseplay
I used to engage in playful and flirtatious interactions with girls at school

Used to get my skin pinched if I was acting up
If I misbehaved, I would be disciplined by receiving a pinch on my skin

I pushed that line hard, was never backin' up
I always pushed boundaries and never backed down from a challenge

Four minutes seem like them modules stackin' up
Time seemed to pass quickly as I faced various challenges and responsibilities

Like man, I swear to God, the devil after us
I feel like I constantly face obstacles and challenges, as if the devil is trying to bring me down

Them tables turn quickly
Situations can change abruptly and unexpectedly

I'm moving rather swiftly
I am progressing and achieving my goals at a fast pace

It finally hit me how bad I wanted to buy myself a Bentley
I realized how much I desired to achieve material success and buy a luxury car

I earned my respect, they holla here when I'm gone
I have gained the respect of others, and they acknowledge my presence even when I am not around

When I touch down, I be like 'heir to the throne'
When I achieve success or arrive in a new place, I feel like I am deserving of recognition and respect

I could really change a life ya know, switch your situation
I have the power to positively impact someone's life and improve their circumstances

Long as people do they part I need participation
In order for positive change to occur, people need to actively contribute and fulfill their responsibilities

Rather see 'em in the triumph than the litigation
I would prefer to see people succeed and be victorious, rather than being involved in legal disputes

All their eyes on me, I be their inspiration
People look up to me and find inspiration in my actions and achievements

I got my mind made
I have made up my mind and have a clear sense of purpose

Sometimes I switch and do no talking in that mind phase
At times, I prefer to think deeply without expressing my thoughts verbally

My time sways got me thinkin' if that grind pays
I sometimes question if the effort and hard work I put in will eventually lead to success

Well enough I try to balance on my [?]
I attempt to maintain a steady equilibrium in my life and responsibilities

Plenty days I'd em prayed and looking for answers
There have been many days where I prayed and sought solutions to my problems

How my mom raised two while battling cancer
I admire how my mother raised two children while dealing with the challenges of battling cancer

Really trying to paint the canvas using these stanzas
I am using my music and lyrics as a means to express myself and create art

Out in Kansas by my [?] like a freelancer
I am independent and free like a freelancer while being in Kansas

And my father ain't around don't make me go father
The absence of my father does not define me or determine my future

Gotta charter my ascension, make it go broader
I need to plan and strategize my journey to success, expanding my horizons

Rest in perfection accept the rejection
I find peace and contentment in striving for perfection and accepting rejection along the way

I've been dreaming the dreams man I'm on my inception
I have been pursuing my dreams and at the beginning stages of achieving them, just like in the movie 'Inception'

Too many losses but now I'm ready to [?] my wins
Despite experiencing many failures and setbacks, I am now prepared to attain victories and success

Every mistake is just an ending to where I began
Each mistake I make is an opportunity to learn and start anew

Just stay your focus in this life you either sink or swim
To succeed in life, one must remain focused and determined, as there is no middle ground

Deep in that water, Father forgive me please stretch my fins
In the challenging and difficult situations I find myself in, I seek guidance and strength to navigate through, asking for forgiveness and the ability to adapt
