lyrics

The front of our house has a garden
Where I plant my soul
My feet is strong
My roots are grounded
Our melodies they grow

We been knowing each other since highschool
Volley ball
Since knowing each other not at all
My metaphors was babies then
always been my lady friend
Now u my lady
We have a baby
Thats crazy
Times been rough
Never saw that coming
Graduation day college
If I had this knowledge
Prolly woulda letchu go
Prolly woulda letchu know
I ain't selling my soul for doe
I go for broke
To make good music
To make that Oprah Doe
As the kid gets older I bend
Frustrated
Tryin to remain friends
When I got low ends
Theory
When I speak the world listens
Butchu can't hear me
Unless ur right near me
Yellin never gets my point across
And even I fear me
When I go off
U paid my phone bill
I couldn't make no calls
I had the rent tho
Remember I painted those walls
a surprise
For u to see
And the only surprise we found
Ain't nothing guaranteed
This life is not for me
What is it that u see
Why do we keep workin on it
What is this can be
I'm on my way to church tryna figure it out
GPS tryna figure my route
Ow

The front of our house has a garden
Where I plant my soul
My feet is strong
My roots are grounded
Our melodies they grow



Went from Western beef
To cost co
From public schools
To schools that cost do
Seem the more money I make
The more we cost yo
And romance without finance is just a nuisance
Say it again
put me out
Stay with a friend
U say u Neva cheating
But u stay with a man
How am I supposed to feel
U let me know
My bank account don't reflect my actors reel
Tryna get it together
Told u I'm young
Still learning how to b a son
All the while raising one
Am I raising Kane or Able
Diagnosed with Autism
Damn dont start him off with a label
Before I sign to a label
At least give me distribution
stress free rhymes
But there's a problem Houston
I don't know what I am doing
Chasing my dreams
Living my life
Would getting a nine to five b
A suitable sacrifice
Can I get quotable record sales
Dope beats N rappin nice
negropolis
Adversity gets a smile
The inch gets the mile
We separate u call me up
Like boy get ur child
I don't know what to do
So I move back in with u
love
I'm on my way to church tryna figure it out
GPS tryna figure my route
Ow
