Glow Up

(album: bittersweet, Vol. 1 - 2019)

Let's get it, let's get it

Watchu know bout this life that I'm mothafuckin living
Spirit stay high so I get it how I live it
Start me day up with a prayer and some lemon
Poured in the cup of the water that I'm sipping
Then I bake up & check my agenda
Back to the grind cause my name you'll remember
Today I got time for my own destination
Gimme 2 years swear that life will be vacation
And every black kid that can rap on a track got verse bout the gula they gon stack and theN put in mama's purse
But I'm thinking much greater
Finna teach my moms to fly
Take her to a place where her soul will align
With the divine
Ancestral line
That's hers and mine
All in due time
Peep the incline
We on the rise
Touching the sky

I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show

The life that I'm living
Is the mothafucking right that I'm giving
See, I'm in tune w rags and the riches
Cause I been here since before the beginning
Swimming in water that only exists
On levels higher than wickedness
Floated the focus from heating the brick
By floating in lotus and healing the sick
Totemed my mind above abyss
An eternal blissfulness
I'm forever feeling the kisses
Of my ancestral spirits
So I don't feel no stress
I just I ride with it
I just take my time w it
I'm just so divine

I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show

So let me bring it back (back, back)
So let me bring it back (back, back)
Now lemme bring it back to divulge you some more
About why I do this & who I do it for
All the little shawties coloring on the floor
Expressing who they really truly are at the core
And now we at war with ourselves and the pressure
Losing touch w our ancestors
Thinking that our value only living in the dresser
And the versions of our feelings must censored
See I was that girl one time in my life
But now I got it back and I made the shit right
Overstand that my hands were created to heal
So watch as I whip and I chef every meal
The deals
Coming at major velocity
I am protected, orisa be watching me
I can't be touched by the hate or hypocrisy
Glow up is coming with heat and ferocity

I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show
