GRASS

VERSE:

Too late
The seed is planted
I watered the soil with a cup
Family tree ain't need nothing but broken branches
Had to start from the mud so they thought the dirt would do damage
Giving me bad advice in hopes that they could take advantage
Tried to corrupt my roots they work hard but could never manage
Granted
A man of granite protected by captain planet
See me now you don’t
Abra cadabra watch how i vanish
Wallah

Momma says prominent positive figures anonymous
I'm in this poppin shit opposite you know what time it is
Politics Imma nix
Look I was a hooked on phonics kid but
They taught us the slang do you know what ebonics is?
Ignore the language , do you know what ironic is?
I will kill for peace, hold up, I can not keep those promises
Give me time to grow, all is need is twenty four hours and
The bamboo will be higher than every tower on the atlas

HOOK:
Do you know what you're growing through
When he shines the light
And what he’s showing you?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?

[Narration] Ziggy Smalls
Over in the far east, they have something that's called a chinese bamboo tree
The chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow
When a person is going through the process of growing it, the grown where the seed is, has to be watered and fertilized everyday
And it doesn't break through the surface until the fifth year
When it finally breaks through the ground, within five weeks time, it can grow ninety feet tall
It may seem that it happened overnight, but the question is “ does is grown ninety feet tall i five weeks or in five years?”
