Growth

[Intro: Tyson Sybateli]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Tyson Sybateli]
My car got flat, I called my dad I'm still at work in hell
He ain't know I felt
That week was the worst, he symbolised how I could help myself
Homies losing confidence in music I could start to tell
But I still dropped my album by the week it just kept doing well
Used to think my mama hate me
Not a day that we don't speak
Tough love and that struggle raised me
Black babies grew up like me
And my angels have baby teeth
Back to heaven younger than me
Khanya, Lisa protecting me
They don't leave us when they get wings
I seen people question they teams
Had me thinking that's gon' be me
They want DoouShii on every beat
That's my brother still when he beef
Pull up on you, no meet and greet
Speak your vices and keep your peace
Apples falling too far from trees
How'd this fruit end up in the sea?
We were all raised by community
Segregation apartheid done split us all up by our tribes
But all the kids still turned out fine
Cause him and her are like you and me
Learning love was the hardest
The honest love hard to keep
Because the best things in life aren't free

[Chorus]
Dip my eyes in the water baby
I'm caught up lately, distorted wavy
Living lies in the holder maybe
Forge us mainly, to call us baby
My truth feels like your own
God you never know, Guide me lemme know
Why she had to go, why he had to go?
Why we gotta go, why we never told?
Don't know 'bout how heaven is a home
I don't know how 'bout heaven is a home

[Post-Chorus: Tyson Sybateli]
I just wanna feel like water how I never was alone
Let the streams tell the father how I'm learning how to float
Better reach handling my growth
Pull up to my vices and I'm never letting go
I pull up to my vices and I'm never letting go

[Verse 3]
I pull up to my vices and I'm never letting go (Oh)
You know how this life shit had me on retainer
I feel outta balance when I'm entertainin'
Runnin' outta shit to say for in my prayers
Man this shit gets heavy, I just can't explain, yeah
I took some time, yeah I take a while
I'm doing fine and i live my life how I feel is right
And lately I'm quiet
I been alright yeah, growing in silence (Hey-eh)

[Chorus]
Dip my eyes in the water baby
I'm caught up lately, distorted wavy
Living lies in the holder maybe
Forge us mainly, to call us baby
My truth feels like your own
God you never know, Guide me lemme know
Why she had to go, why he had to go?
Why we gotta go, why we never told?
Don't know 'bout how heaven is a home
I don't know how 'bout heaven is a home

[Post-Chorus: Tyson Sybateli]
I just wanna feel like water how I never was alone
Let the streams tell the father how I'm learning how to float
Better reach handling my growth
Pull up to my vices and I'm never letting go
I pull up to my vices and I'm never letting go
