I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough I’m out the shed and the tools brand new Dear mama dropped them jewels that I never ran through The most driven never sat up in the back seat The most forgiven never flagging down a taxi That’s my word if it’s meant to outgrow Like I used to run home to catch the last of my show Some move to the future other's living it slow Old tunes trying to find where the memories flow You know I try to chase ‘em down no dragon Shit, they shot a Beatle, do people still imagine? I think the world could be a better place No fam but I still set a table and I said it's grace I think I'll let you in my life all access Gift and curses, cursive closed captions Misinterpreting the passion Saving face ain’t a game, ain’t a time for retractions I learned one way then front the opposite I learned behind the beat, now I learned on top of it I do go against the grain I do take bigger pictures that don’t fit in the frame I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough Dip the scriber in the inkwell Thoughts sketch a snapshot Vibrant check the detail, now the family eats well Used to cut the mold off bricks for grilled cheese melts Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how the things fell Mansions and lap pools to sleeping on back pews Pictures and statues where roaches and rats moved Faithfully I've seen it all alive, and I’m grateful With Curtis Mayfield singing “Just be Thankful” Slapping loud out a glasshouse, pearl enamel tooth color Seasoned old cats then the ragtop, roof covered Nodded and they nodded back, respect acknowledged Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are a college California campus, I've studied abroad Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, "What if he shrugged?" The rich lady asked, "What if we thug?" Humanity said "I’m feeling drowsy what is the drug?" Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two Held the elevator, check the levels that we've grown through Philanthropic maybe 'cause I did my dirt There, I’m haunted, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers No more kid gloves for the dreamers Awake trying to live dreams physically, energy is extreme Lessons of infinity are vivid on the big screen I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough I learned when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard, now my focus up Got it all but ain’t had enough
