Grow (Beleive in Yourself)
Growing up a shy cub/ never put my hand up/
Always had my head down/ made sure I sat at the back cause/
It would be/ “Derek” called up to the front to speak/
Shaking knees start to sweat/ then I couldn’t really breathe/
Still a public speaking mess/ even in my dreams yes/
In duress/ always anxious on any test/
Look upon the ground/ never above the horizon/
Can’t speak a word/ or engage a girl in her eyes and I’m/
Running round the room/ like a fool just all mess/
Mind wandering pondering/ if I’m hexed/
My body soars/ in a world just all line’s/
When I situate myself in rhymes/ I‘m all fine/
Try to concentrate/ on what is supposed to be/
I’d like to see/ the perfect lyric close to me/
If I give my all/ all I hope to be/
A smooth operator/ operating correctly/
It’s only up to you/ don’t matter what they say/
(deep breath, drop them shoulders and just bust through)
All about you/ let their doubts wash away/
(be proud speak loud, they ain’t got you)
You got the right moves/ and that’s why they hate/
(get it in your mind, you have worth and more)
No matter what you do/ it’s for you it’s okay/
(hold it down, believe in yourself and grow)
Not a blip on the screen/ always try to bee unseen/
Told my rhymes are whack/ hang ya head through a guillotine/
No creatine base/ this foundation self-made/
Always the best at what I do/ but bragging felt lame/
Shy hiding in the shade/ flying by be the days/
Sitting home alone rehearsing/ dreaming of the stage/
Nausea sets in/ anxiety overtakes/
Alleviates my dream of you/ ever pressing play/
Rolling eyes doubting minds/ trial by fire burnt several times/
No matter your thoughts/ this plot is hot no stopping, I/
Lived in a box, hid under rocks/ now my time to surface/
Mocked like Navin Johnson/ I found my special purpose/
Cut off my feet/ still find a way to walk/
Blind me bind my tongue/ music my vision in my head sung/
Try to sweep the leg/ but the crane will take/
Like you in my life/ all of your hate will fade away/
It’s only up to you/ don’t matter what they say/
(deep breath, drop them shoulders and just bust through)
All about you/ let their doubts wash away/
(be proud speak loud, they ain’t got you)
You got the right moves/ and that’s why they hate/
(get it in your mind, you have worth and more)
No matter what you do/ it’s for you it’s okay/
(hold it down, believe in yourself and grow)
