"Lilypad" lyrics
Wiki & Tony Seltzer Lyrics
Just a frog out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
Just a frog out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
After my brother the doctor told my mother that she wouldn't have another
She couldn't, that she shouldn't even try
She could suffer but she didn't doubt it
And for that I love her, have to hug her when I see her
And she love me back, her beloved second son
The leprechaun what he thought he was as a youngin
Plus a frog, that's what I heard going off
When I'd visit grandpa and grandma in PR
Too young to get it at the time but here we are
Wasn't like back home, garbage trucks and car alarms
Coquí, I was so free
My mind running loss no matter where I was
My mind could take me where I want
A different kind of [?] but a mix of something none the less
What I imagined made me understand who we really is
Pretty much a Irish Puerto Rican thriving in New York since he was a kid
Wasn't on a horse, it was hippos and dinosaurs in that park
It ain't made up in my head talking 'bout Riverside Park, it's a'ight
Call even at night when the lights off, mic's on
[?] they beyond the city waitin' for him
Call him Wik the God, nah, call him little frog
Out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
Probably thought I was a boss, right?
Right when I got caught from the side right, on my block
Everyone [?] I was so lost
Every right left broke with a swollen eye but I ain't left yet
Still I'm more alive than I've ever been, been immortalized
But I got nothing more than time
I ain't dead yet, open wide, I didn't cry
More emotional when shorty left, when shorty lied
Said she'd be my friend but the amount of lies I said since in my light
When I'm right, tend to make it wrong in time
It's right now, no, couldn't save it for another time
God say the frog couldn't croak, couldn't [?]
Through all the smoke, couldn't choke, had to swallow my pride
Follow the signs it will crypt it
I was conflicted, stronger than most
But what I now know I drill it into my mind
Besides that it's God's will, I just feel it and rhyme
And yo, I'ma be real, I don't feel it at times
But then I can't keep it in
It's hard to conceal when I feel it inside
Uh, just a frog out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
Just a frog out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
Just a frog out of water
A tadpole when I was brought up
From the bottom of the waters
Didn't just grow, I was altered
I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller
Just a tad but a lot smarter
Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder
