As I Grow

(album: Eve-Olution - 2002)

Turn your negative into a positive
This one is for the kids
Hmm

People hear me when I talk yea (As I grow)
People try to break me but I (Still stand strong)
'Cause this life that I live it's (All I know)
And can nobody can take me off this (Path I travel on)
People hear me when I talk to yea

Yo
I'm in a position to help a lot of people
When I love it, but people that claim that they love me
Wanna take advantage of it
I duck 'em, I can't lie
That toss a lot of lies
Can't trust the story tears swelling in my eyes
Let my pen stab the page, times I feel raged
Sometimes I feel trapped got me locked in a cage
But I break free
Won't never let the anger overtake me
'Cause actions of another never make E or break E
I never let 'em shake me
And no matter what I always wish success to those who hate me
The ones they call my enemies
Who only really wanna be friends of me
On the other hand surrounded by the greatest team
Who wouldn't trade mind for nothing not for anything
Thank you for giving me your best
And I appreciate giving you everything and nothing less

People hear me when I talk yea (As I grow)
People try to break me but I (Still stand strong)
'Cause this life that I live it's (All I know)
And can nobody can take me off this (Path I travel on)
People hear me when I talk to yea

I live my life through what's in my chest
My heart beat strong, sometimes contaminated by the pest
And yeah I know I'm living blessed
And if I didn't make it here, my life would be a mess
Can't live a life of fear
All that get you is nowhere surrounded by a bunch of stress
And I always had a hard head
Had a choice to play around with life or listen to what God said
So I straightened up and I'm doing right
Growing every year, aiiyo this thing ain't happen overnight
But I still got a lot to do
And never giving up 'cause anything I feel I know is possible
Don't never let people discourage
Plant your seed of dreams, baby, and let 'em flourish
Letting you in on what I know
Huh, as I live my life and as I grow

People hear me when I talk yea (As I grow)
People try to break me but I (Still stand strong)
'Cause this life that I live it's (All I know)
And can nobody can take me off this (Path I travel on)
People hear me when I talk to yea

People hear me when I talk yea (As I grow)
People try to break me but I (Still stand strong)
'Cause this life that I live it's (All I know)
And can nobody can take me off this (Path I travel on)
People hear me when I talk to yea
