"Plant A Seed" lyrics

Sometimes I be clinging to and yearning for all the wrong things

Had a fan tell me, seem like I'm just rapping for the money
Sat and thought about it, then I had to laugh 'cause it was funny
I used to do this shit for free, I used to do this shit for me
She tried to say my heart ain't in it, well it's cool to disagree

I'd say my heart too deep off in it, I ain't moving without a fee
It's like a vice to be transparent, but if you knew what you couldn't see
My best music comes from grief, and from losing so much sleep
Drug abuse, lust and greed, plus I got used to luxury

But what's peace?
Eating a slice of pizza at Chuck E. Cheese
Or changing my voice for bedtime stories, when my daughter pick what we read
I don't think nobody ever believed in me, as much as me
Probably why I be by myself, 'cause talk is, but trust ain't cheap

But trust me, when you're self-employed, better keep all your receipts
Privacy's a premium, that's the reason that I'm discrete
Had to leave it in the streets, knowing they'll leave me in the streets
If it was just for the money, I'd drop a CD every week

Plant a seed, pray for rain, let it grow (let it grow)
If you can't do nothing about it, let it go (let it go)
Your life could change at any moment, you never know (never know)
I think my haters used to like me better broke (I don't know)

Can you talk about anything, except for dope? (Fuck you hoe)
My cousin ran for judge, I tried to tell 'em vote (You said, "No")
You either supply or demand, never both (Grind Hard)
Everything I write the realest shit I ever wrote (Lito)

Instead of hope, we just want controversy
Man rap so fake, had nothing to say 'cause I'm an honest person
I did some dirt, so all my karma feel like I deserve it
My biggest regret is all the stress, I had my momma worried

I probably wouldn't be here today, wasn't for my granny's prayers
They ain't wanna see me elevate, I ran the stairs
Used to be my biggest fan, I was a fan of theirs

I don't know what happened

I've never been the person to pretend I'm perfect
Operate out of convenience, or when it's urgent
Grind Hard, I really mean it. Continue working
I was really in the game, still get paid to talk about it something like Kendrick Perkins

Half-sleep in a sprinter swerving
I remember I used to dream of getting a twenty on Thursday
I'm always running late, but never in a hurry
Damn, he just met the nigga talking 'bout he finna serve him
Good luck with that

Pipeline from preschool to prison, I had enough of that
Before 2 Chainz was going by Tity, I had a duffle bag
Can't even lie, I almost got caught slipping, but I was busting back
Little bro got a twelve year conviction, trying to make a couple stacks

I guess time is money, what's the exchange rate?
Everybody that said, "Do it for the hood," stuck in the same place
Still in my own lane, just had to change pace
Always end up losing time, feeling like I can't wait

Plant a seed, pray for rain, let it grow (let it grow)
If you can't do nothing about it, let it go (let it go)
Your life could change at any moment, you never know (never know)
I think my haters used to like me better broke (I don't know)

Can you talk about anything, except for dope? (Fuck you hoe)
My cousin ran for judge, I tried to tell 'em vote (You said, "No")
You either supply or demand, never both (Grind Hard)
Everything I write the realest shit I ever wrote (Lito)

You're impatient. Everything was about you. What you wanted to do. It had nothing to do with me. It's about how I made you feel, but what about how I feel? You don't care about how I feel
