Intro (Kuper)
First your body lifts up from the ground
The quiet so loud you turn it down
Only you know what you’re feeling in there in there
It feels like I woke up a grown man just yesterday I was building a castle in the sand me and a couple friends the shovel was in my hand I’m puzzled don’t understand this body of foreign land no more memorial park or hide and seek and making a top shooter or building a go cart ion have to be in before dark at the V with Chill so cavalier I’m driving a Skylark if we saw a lil cutie we parked it’s too vivid I’m looking in the mirror wondering did I live it the promise of yesterday is suddenly far away the trouble I held at bay was worth it to this day but still it ain’t real in my mind how many years passed this big boy is one of a kind or just an outcast living through these moments in time I’m feeling younger than Ice-Gre in his prime who got addicted to rhyme let's grow
Chorus (Kuper)
First your body lift up from the ground
The quiet so loud you turn it down
Only you know what you’re feeling in there in there
We can now grow young
It’s the way you feel
You are not restricted
Go wild go wild oh child (oh child)
It’s not hard to see that uh huh (oh child)
It’s not hard to seed that let's grow
Verse 2
The people places and things I see their faces from tying up their laces to running all the bases thinking bout my graduation I had 3 Deneen CVS J State my University don’t get me talking dem yard years it was so much good in the bad it make me discard tears I promise it seems like it all just happened we were all just rapping Stewpot Stowaways was snapping rest in peace to Satin and Tam-Rock the memories on lock no hands on the clock what year is this my moments are suspended in time I’m living in Disneyland an hour from Anaheim the float trip can see I got sick like it’s boat trip but hope hits like singers that crack from vocal note slips but regardless of the grey in my beard and this realty’s weird I’ma still be revered so let’s grow
Chorus (Kuper)
First your body lifts up from the ground
The quiet so loud you turn it down
Only you know what you’re feeling in there in there
We can now grow young
It’s the way you feel
You are not restricted
Go wild go wild oh child (oh child)
It’s not hard to see that uh huh (oh child)
It’s not hard to seed that let's grow
It’s not hard to see that uh huh (ooooh)
Never felt the need for nothing more
Special
When you live a life that seems like dream on high beam – let it grow
When you got a team that’s mean doing things that’s unseen - let em know
When it feels real you start getting chills what the deal – you let it go
Only if you know you da one fasho plant seeds and let em grow
Let it go let em know let it grow
Uh yeah uh yeah yeah uh yeah uh yeah uh huh
Yeah uh yeah uh yeah uh
