Petunias

Hook:
Did they want me to be great or did they want me to fold?
Lessons that I'm learning got me winding the road
Stuck in bible verses, I've been led on my own
If stars align the Earth, then our petunias would grow

Verse 1:
I wish that life was easy sometimes
I wish these girls ain't greedy sometimes
I wish my friends all stayed in touch
I wish my eyes shut when I rest
I wish grandma ain't die of cancer
My momma ain't been the same since
And neither have her sisters
And even grandpa hard-ass couldn't keep it together
I feel for him and every single other family member
But grandma raised Beth and Beth raised Kaine
Not to mention Daddy working so my cousins can play
It's a long battle, college dorm then out to the stage
But I stay rattled, can't have no one flipping my page
I'm the young GOAT with young lambs, wait till I aim
I got big plans and big vans booking the wave
On the west coast, tearing up the maps and the place
I'm a young god, but still up to my God do I praise
I love you and all your marvelous ways
My pastor called the other day and asked me, "Do you still pray?"
I said, "Of course, James, in every free minute of space"
'Cause everyday that I wake's another chance to give thanks
For heaven's child, no born rats live in denial
My pockets is hurting bad but I still live with a smile
I speak loud when I'm tired and speak foul when I'm wild
It's only for all this passion, I'm still Christed on my tiles
Stepping stones, skipping stones and we grow
Like petunias at the crossroads right by the cove
PCH riding, I can't wait to be home
But until then, I'll be in the 'ville with my folk
Unveiling the cloak, I'm so hungry and woke
It hurts me that I know this and they think that I don't
Any fake card pulled on me, it must be a joke
'Cause it don't take no money to help people who broke
And it don't take no time away when you with the Lord
And it don't take no mountain, man, I've said this before
Love your imperfections, they'll allow you to soar
And love your own direction 'cause it's right to its core
And love yours..

Outro:
