GROWTH
[Verse: Tobe Nwigwe]
I used to dive in it but now I stay by the shore
'Cause when you reside in it, your eyes be tinted way much more
Than usual, cloudy judgement ain't viewable
To the people who be trapped in 'em, all that glitters ain't platinum
Or gold partna, I chose proper, but yet and still
Could never birth something real like contraceptive pills
Ooh, 'cause I swear I used to feel
Like relationships were built on getting draws being ideal
But it wasn't cousin, that dirty dozen of gangsta that instilled
Up in my mental, really ain't have credentials
'Cause you know they fatherless and never really bothered with
The fact that all they lil' intuition came from super fictitious
Low key malicious doctrine taught by the elders on the block
But when you ain't that close to heaven, hell you give what you got
Ooh, even if it is rooted in ignorance
Most captives don't recognize that deliverance is necessary
To counter hereditary impotence
Even if you innocent, you still guilty, it's hard to feel me
Grew up jammin' "So Fresh and So Clean," but was still born filthy
Holy cow, I be feelin' milky when I think about
All the lil' floozies that were drawn to me and let me dig 'em out
When no doubt I was just, nah scratch that
Look, when I was really just searching for something deeper
Went on tour for my purpose, no Justin Bieber
To every lil' mama boppin' that I call skeezer
Wish I could tell ya "you one in a million," word to Aaliyah, ooh
[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & (Fat Nwigwe)]
You are one in a million
You (You) are (Are) one (One) in (In) a (A) million
[Bridge: Tobe Nwigwe & (Fat Nwigwe)]
And you're exquisite (Yuh)
Made perfect without a blemish (Flawless)
Sole purpose is to replenish (Water)
The Earth until it is finished
And that's a long time
A mighty long time
A long time
So, so, so, so, long
[Verse 2: Tobe Nwigwe]
Or is it? Hell I don't know though
But if it is, I hope you find a ring like master Frodo
I pray a life over you indicative of risotto
That's a lot of cheese and sauce, it take a lot to be a boss
Feel like often we have lost the vision that shifted us from the prison to the cross
My mission is simply just to depict that we have flaws
Within us but don't be ignorant, inclement weather falls
On everything breathing, that's law, ooh
[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & (Fat Nwigwe)]
You are one in a million
You (You) are (Are) one (One) in (In) a (A) million
