Shrinking Violets

Verse One:
Let me take it back to the beginning
Accommodating boy I was the spitting image
A nigga used to get in where he fit in
Got nervous around women til I went and reinvented
Then over time my circumstances forced me to change
Started looking at things different and rearranged
James said you ain’t winning if you ain’t in the game
That’s when I noticed my circle was in a different lane
Copy my style then they hit me with the side eye
I see their true colors no tye dye
They just hide and get by, by, by, by until they die
But not me nigga that ain’t what I wanted dog
This underdog ain’t never going under dog
Independent nigga got if from my mother dog
I had to separate from the others I see

Chorus:
Shrinking Violets all around me
I know I know cause I used to be a Shrinking Violet
Til I found peace and now I can’t let it go
You won’t wreck my faith it don’t work like that
You can’t fuck with my soul
Yeah I see a lot of Shrinking Violets all around me
And where they’re going nobody knows

Verse Two:
These girls be out here having niggas losing they mind
When they come around these niggas flip on a dime
I wish that I could tell them that they wasting their time
But I don’t want to be that nigga I ain’t that guy
These niggas switch switch switch up priorities
I realize real quick I’m in the minority
I turn to music to put my mind more at ease
Look I really do this I have to grind for my cheese ah
Yeah working on my craft where you catch me
On Rosa I never took the backseat
I knew I had to do what made me happy
The greatest ever man I wouldn’t put it past me (You better not)
And I’m stuck on go I can’t stop now
Came from the cold but I’m hot now
To get to ball you gotta box out
I’m the only one that never copped out

Chorus: (REPEAT)
