Full Bloom

(album: FOTO - 2019)

Hey young blood
Come here, let me talk to you
I've seen you grow up all your life around here
Never said two words
But I ain't gon' be here forever
You done come up, and this your block
Your daddy on that house, my momma on this one
This your hood
Make sure you taking some photos, man
Before you know it, it won't be the same
I'm telling you, enough with all that
You gon' be the one that all these young cats look up to
So be careful how you move
They watching you like a hawk, man
It's your turn to rise up, it's on you
So what you gon' do with it

Yo, what's good bro?
What's popping, bro, how you feeling bro, how you, crazy bro
Bro I see you out here...

Hair braids and band aids
Double dutch queens and hairspray
Dominoes, baes, and milk crates
Say it to my face if you feel a way
I hit you with that boom boom bap
Like it's Dilla day, boy from the hood but he been away
I am home, on the Ave
Been in palms, got a draft on the scroll
Put the scraps on the stove, now I'm cooking
I been haunted seeing these lessons
I been grabbing every blessing, word to Zars
Manifesting, been writing it in the stars
Spent my whole 26 fighting against the odds
All while they were sleeping, was building my Noah's Arc
We been through so much that our spirits glow in the dark
Jay help every nigga in Hollywood beat the charge
I'm home, and our river is overflowing with garden love
My son hair nappy just like his momma
I do my own thing, I'm indie just like my father
I am obligated to take the baton farther
Than anybody before me for anybody that follow
We from the earth
They couldn't buy me, a nigga know what he worth
I'm the product of the sun, rain and dirt
My garden is in full bloom (Bloom, bloom, bloom)
