[Verse 1]
You got dreams on the table
Blueprints in your phone
You been talking to strangers
’Bout a house you don’t own
They smile wide while you’re speaking
Eyes sharp like a blade
Taking notes on your secrets
For a move they ain’t made
[Chorus]
Keep it to yourself
’Til the roots grow deep
Guard what you’re growing
While the world still sleeps
’Cause envy wears a friendly face
And blessings bleed in careless hands
Keep it to yourself
’Til they see you where you stand
[Verse 2]
Not every “I’m so happy”
Really means what it says
Some toast you in public
Then hope you lose your step
Good hearts are a treasure
Hard to find
Even then
Test the weight of their silence
When your wins just begin
[Chorus]
Keep it to yourself
’Til the roots grow deep
Guard what you’re growing
While the world still sleeps
’Cause envy wears a friendly face
And blessings bleed in careless hands
Keep it to yourself
’Til they see you where you stand
[Bridge]
If they clap for your failure
But fall quiet when you rise
Let their distance be your answer
Let their absence be the sign (yeah)
[Chorus]
Keep it to yourself
’Til the roots grow deep
Guard what you’re growing
While the world still sleeps
’Cause envy wears a friendly face
And blessings bleed in careless hands
Keep it to yourself
’Til they see you where you stand
