Growth

Hook:

This that growth, this that pain turn gold,

This that stand ten toes when the world feel cold.

Used to hate who I was, now I love my soul,

Had to break my old self just to take control.

This that growth, this that new mindset,

Turned my regrets to a big life check.

I ain’t who I was, that’s a closed old book,

If you knew me back then, take another look.

Verse 1:

Used to run from the mirror, now I face it,

All my demons in the glass, I embrace it.

Every flaw that I see just a place where I’m weak,

So I train that spot ’til it don’t break me.

Had to stop blamin’ life for my bad calls,

Had to own every L, take the mask off.

Growth came when I stopped tryna look tough,

Started sayin’ “I’m hurt,” yeah, that’s real stuff.

Verse 2:

Cut the habits that was keepin’ me on replay,

Same day, same hurt, like a delay.

Now I wake up, stretch, thank God that I’m here,

Drink water, hit the gym, keep my mind clear.

I don’t chase every vibe just to fit in,

If the room feel wrong, then I dip in a minute.

I protect my peace like a safe code,

Growth made me rich in a way that ain’t bankroll.

Verse 3:

I been learnin’ how to say “no” with my chest now,

Every boundary that I set got me blessed now.

Had to learn that forgiveness ain’t for them,

It’s for me, so my spirit never dims.

If you knew the old me, you’d be shocked how I move,

I ain’t flexin’ on you, I’m just keepin’ it true.

Every scar that I got is a stripe, not a shame,

Growth turned my hurt to a name.

Bridge (melodic):

I done outgrew old fears, old fights, old doubts,

Had to leave that version of me in the drought.

If they say I switched, let ’em say it then,

I was never meant to stay the same again.
