Full Song Lyrics
Verbal D
Verse 1:
Stay firmly rooted in faith and know your family tree
But don't bend to win(wind) approval, Body bows (boughs) to a breeze
Stand your ground for beliefs, Branching out and be leaf
And know you go against the grain, so growing pains can be deep
But we came from the dust, up from the gravel ingrained
So we just wash away the worries, let them fall with the rain
All glory to God, I can't deny that He reigns
Guides me safely through this journey, letting go of the reins
My mind was ill before, a stubborn, strong Sycamore
We have to care for each other just like a sick Amor
Through thin and thick, of course, ringing through the inner core
Hard to tell my age, when I circle around your winning horse
The thickest thicket's coarse, ripping with its bristles north
Don't be a thorn in my side, I'll break the center fourth
Unleash my inner spirit's flow, I'm 'bout to send it forth
With no remorse, I'll just be brushing off the biggest force...
Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother Natures grows & Father Time does chime
Cultivate their souls
Planting seeds in mind
Mother Nature grows & Father Time does chime
Care for young & old
Your Future, Theirs & Mine...
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Life isn't what it seems, it isn't Evergreen
The only Evergreen is greediness and envy seen
A certain neck of the woods would I connect with a being
But never Hollywood, Bollywood, I'm an Indie Scene
Life's not a movie, move between the seams of temple dreams
What's your complexion when you're facing such complexities?
Implanted memories will blossom out extremities
I stripped the bark of what is dark and fought with heart some entities
This world's ridiculous, cold and meticulous
You'll get lost up in these concrete jungles
A fossil bundle, caught up under moss and rubble
Rock and stumble onto barren spots not coniferous
Dog eat dog world, lockjaw it's carnivorous
Drown in waters tryna fly, Modern Icarus
Stay vigorous, not so belligerent, oblivious
That'll cut you down, gone, timber-less...
Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother Natures grows & Father Time does chime
Cultivate their souls
Planting seeds in mind
Mother Nature grows & Father Time does chime
Care for young & old
Your Future, Theirs & Mine...(x2)

Man what a beautiful collaboration we brought to life..oh weee..I feel like an ignoramus right now for not being able checking this out earlier. I know the lyrics since the beginning when you started building up on them, till the final ones you sent me, but listening to them live through your slaying flow and the singing line makes this flourish into an organic and soulful masterpiece. I love everything about it and we definitely need to record this one properly..and your voice..oh my God man..it never occurred to me that you can sing that well and have that beautiful color, not to mention the skill to perform it so soulful. It seems like I've listened to this piece for the first time and fell in love with it immediately. Harmony did great as well, especially on the part she came in.. that was very sweet and a good sign to add some of her vocals, or children vocals in general on the final recording. ☺ Hands down brother..you did the track justice 100 % and I have to thank you for bringing up so much life into it. Respect is the least I can say..it's beyond that. One Love B.

I just saw this really fresh comment bro
Thank you so much for the love, respect and appreciation
I was super excited to hear back from you to hear what you thought of the song
And now it is all green lights ahead
We will not sleep on this track don't worry!
Yeah I was actually a singer before I started getting serious with the emceeing
So I do try and keep my voice up to par
and live performance is what it is all about
Can't just be a studio musician when it comes to showing music as an emcee/singer
Harmony made a memorable cameo indeed and I am glad she was in the video lol
Many thanks again bro, I was inspired by you, your fresh artwork, vibes and epic beat productions. We can do this again no problem! You got beats I got ideas all day everyday but definitely we will start to get this track into the works of professional presentation
God bless and one love indeed
