Seed Will Grow

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ky-Mani Marley] Yo, I mean some of these guys got... Oh At first glance, it's like cupid hit Mesmerised by her thighs and her hips So, she went ahead and find a man wit' some chips She left school when she copped da whip Caught in the game, locked in the speedin' lane Live a life of money, drugs and fame But true love is what she can't entertain Now every chance she gets, she's given the blame And then she's askin' why? I told her, she was livin' a lie When I told her, she started to cry Don't just sit and let life pass you by Then I slowly wiped the tear from her eye [Chorus] And told her, take it slow Girl, give it time to flow And from a seed to a flower you'll grow So many seeds on the street No sunshine, but always heat And lives are lost at every heartbeat I told her, take it slow Girl, give it time to flow And from a seed to a flower you'll grow So many seeds on the street Drownin' in poverty and deceit But black roses grow from concrete [Verse 2: Ms. Dynamite] He got a family to feed So every night, he out on the street Shottin' poison to young mothers and youths dem, 'cause he Feel it's the only way he know to keep his peeps on they feet Make ends meet and get his own up out of poverty Until one night, he came home to find his mother cry She pointed to the floor and saw a trail of his supply She led him to his room to find his brother on his bed Track marks, needles in his arm and stone-cold dead And suddenly, they all flashed before his eyes The kids that he sold to and they mother's cries Every child is someone's child You have to mind what you do 'Cause karma gonna bring the drama back on you [Bridge: Ms. Dynamite] Do what you gotta do But nigga when it comes to them youths There is no excuse Our future that, we supposed to nurture that Not lettin' nuttin' or nobody hurt that Do what you gotta do But nigga when it comes to them youths There is no excuse Our future that, we supposed to nurture that Not lettin' nuttin' or nobody hurt that, hey [Chorus] I told her, take it slow Girl, give it time to flow From a seed to a flower you'll grow So many seeds on the street No sunshine, but always heat And lives are lost at every heartbeat I said, take it slow Girl, give it time to flow From a seed to a flower you'll grow So many seeds on the street Drownin' in poverty and deceit But black roses grow from concrete, now
