Time to Grow

It's time to do this...
 Yeah, uh, I'm gettin' better with
 age, whenever I try to touch the page [?]
 Tryin' to get up outta the base of the rigamarole [?]
 I've been livin' the days of gettin' settled in my ways
 Gotta pick up the pace and try to figure where to go
 Spreadin' my wings,
 and I'm gonna follow my instinct for keepin' it in sync
 What I believe, got to plan to be the bigger man
 Never with the trigger,
 and I dig a little deeper 'cause I gotta achieve
 But the bigger they come, then the harder they be fallin'
 Aim for the sun, but I'm six feet tall,
 and it's out o' my reach, but keep climbin'
 Baby, it's a matter of time, I've got t' get up and go for the grind
 The bright light keep blind individual,
 mind of a criminal, with money on the minimal
 They've been tryin' to get my hand, but they runnin' out o' tentacles
 Ladies and gentlemen, give me another interval
 [If you see me down-?], give me a [...?] when you see me around
 [And I'm-?] from out o' town, give me a bus
 Show me the love that a brother
 needs, [some of the-?] breeze to stay cool
 Man, that's the number one rule
 I've been played for the fool, but I learned from it
 Big into pool, never lose, keep it one hundred
 So [I'm gonna-?
 ] 'til I'm reachin' the end, bring it on back to the top
 We can run it again
 Take a little bit more time to grow
 Stimulate the mind and the shine won't go away
 Keep movin', you will never lose
 Don't let the man put your brain in a funk
 If you work, you can have anything you want, one day
 Take those dreams and make 'em true
 I try shootin' the gift out o' my lips
 Let's flip the picture, like a total eclipse of the sun
 When I'm done, I'm gonna run to the ones that'll let me be me
 Help me see me for who I am in the grand scheme, and live a minute
 If I ain't feelin' it, I'm gonna get rid of it
 Get me some light and I'm gonna give it right back
 Time after time, I'm gonna shine like that
 And if your slippin' brother, let me loan you some
 Benjamin didn't really wanna leave you cold and hungry
 Nah man, you don't owe me nothing, just remember Ben
 If you ever see him alone and sufferin'
 Trust in the heat and keep yourself warm
 Seek and find peace, and shelter from the storm
 Better than the poem is the metaphor for home
 I'm speakin' for the tortured soul, let's go
 We gotta take a little bit more time to grow
 Stimulate the mind and the shine won't go away
 Keep movin', you will never lose
 Don't let the man put your brain in a funk
 If you work, you can have anything you want, one day,
 Take those dreams and make 'em true
 Make it true to whatever you do
 Settle for nothing less, ain't no one better than you
 And if I get up on the pedestal, let me know
 If it burns, you gotta learn how to let it go
 Ready? Go! Move on a mission
 Get up in the groove, never lose your position
 When there's no clues, use intuition
 So what shows through is true to the vision
 Listen! I'm true without the [...?]
 Silent like a ninja when I move around my fold
 Life is but a flicker of the picture we expose
 In the little dark room of the mind and the soul
 It's time that we grow
 Prime for the pros
 I want to shine like a diamond in the coals
 [.?] of my mind, and I'm gonna let it glow
 So we take it to another episode
 Come on
 Take a little bit more time to grow
 Stimulate the mind and the shine won't go away
 Keep movin', you will never lose
 Don't let the man put your brain in a funk
 If you work, you can have anything you want, one day
 Take those dreams and make 'em true
 Take a little bit more time to grow
 Stimulate the mind and the shine won't go away
 Keep movin', you will never lose
 Don't let the man put your brain in a funk
 If you work, you can have anything you want, one day
 Take those dreams and make 'em true
