As I Grow

Lyrics

[Intro] Turn your negative into a positive This one is for the kids Hmm [Chorus] People, hear me when I talk to you (As I grow) People try to break me down, I (Still stand strong) 'Cause this life that I live, it's (All my own) And can't nobody take me off this (Path I travel on) People, hear me when I talk to you [Verse 1] Yo, I'm in the position to help a lot of people and I love it But people that claim that they love me wanna take advantage of it I duck 'em, I can't lie, they toss a lot of lies Can't trust their stories, tears swellin' in my eyes Let my pen stab the page, times I feel rage Sometimes I feel trapped, got me locked in the cage But I break free, won't ever let the anger overtake me 'Cause actions of another never make me or break me (Yeah) I never let 'em shake me And no matter what, I always wish success to those who hate me The ones they call my enemies Who only really wanna be friends of me On the other hand, surrounded by the greatest team Wouldn't trade mine for nothin', not for anything Thank you for givin' me your best And I appreciate givin' you everything and nothing less [Chorus] (As I grow) People try to break me down, I (Still stand strong) 'Cause this life that I live, it's (All my own) And can't nobody take me off this (Path I travel on) People, hear me when I talk to you [Verse 2] I live my life through what's in my chest My heartbeat strong, sometimes contaminated by the pest And, yeah, I know I'm livin' blessed And if I didn't make it here, my life would be a mess Can't live a life of fear All that get you is nowhere, surrounded by a bunch of stress And I always had a hard head Had a choice to play around with life or listen to what God said So I straightened up, I'm doin' right Growin' every year, ayo, this thing ain't happen overnight But I still got a lot to do Ain't never givin' up 'cause anything I feel I know is possible Don't never let people discourage Plant your seed of dreams, baby, and let 'em flourish Lettin' you in on what I know Huh, as I live my life and as I grow [Chorus] (As I grow) People try to break me down, I (Still stand strong) 'Cause this life that I live, it's (All my own) And can't nobody take me off this (Path I travel on) People, hear me when I talk to you (As I grow) People try to break me down, I (Still stand strong) 'Cause this life that I live, it's (All my own) And can't nobody take me off this (Path I travel on) People, hear me when I talk to you [Outro] All we want you to know is we love you, Eve
