Lyrics:

You’ve grown yourself a flower
In the garden

See I was like 18
With nothin’ to my name but overdraft fees
Jealous of the rich, tryna get cheese
Cause’ I always knew this life wasn’t no breeze
And my purpose like Amerie it was one thing
But where I'm from they called it a “farfetched dream”
Cause baba don’t believe in a sure thing
But now he do, cause’ my wrist like the west wing
Prezi!
I had to grow my garden
Planted the seeds, but I was faint hearted
The courage it took to get this shit started
Meant a new flower had to get sprawlin’
All my friends was having college fun
Me? I didn't have the college funds
In my head’s where I be at
Couldn't let the petals die just for a Fiat
Believe that!

You’ve grown yourself a flower
In the garden

Look
I was on 145th & St. Nick
Takin that A train down to the mix
Complex wasn’t really paying me shit
And Def Jam had me getting sandwiches
Got one for Big Sean but at least he tipped
At that 20 saved my life that week
in New York but I feelin’ Memphis Bleek
I was eatin’ plain rice and I'm far from cheap nigga

Bury me before I'm a burden
DIY till my conscious certain
But the Garden can’t grow if it ain’t got purpose
True!
Caring for this seed since 2014
I've been watering this motherfucker every damn week
I didn't know where i’d be at
Growth came slow but it bloomed now we see that, believe that!

You’ve grown yourself a flower
In the garden

I used to do gardening in the house. It’s grandpa Aminé… he forced you to plant, keep it maintenance and everything, so after he come from school then he go to the garden. Maintaining it, giving it water, stuff like that, this is how I grew up.

And when the sun hits your skin
I hope you know you belong where you’ve been
And we’ll grow that’s fasho
But in the end we will be back in the ground
Once again

Look
We all want success
But can you grow up more with less?
Cause’ money changed everything, I see the effects
Life time friends think I think of them less
No nigga
I am depressed
If people don't like me, then I don't get a check
Which means both my parents are stayin’ in debt
And I prefer to be the only one that carries the stress
Shit
If I’d never got rich, maybe Sunset wouldn't have me sick
Cause that crash almost toe tagged my sis
Is it my fault that she even had that risk?
But fuck what I can’t control
The best advice I get from myself alone
And after all that Portland rain is combined
All I need is 13 months of Sunshine

And when the sun hits your skin
I hope you know you belong where you’ve been
And we’ll grow that’s f’sho
But in the end we will be back in the ground
Once again
