Retrospect Lyrics by J.Murph

Back for Growth

2018

[Verse]

Remember I was young, age of ten at least
I had a lot of people say a lot of detrimental things
Aiming for my mental peace
Wasn't no gentle speech
In the moment your not aware of the values it'll teach
So critical pivotal at the least
Carving you into starting the living in which you seek
Is you weak, or will you fight regardless of strength
Where you searching to pull your purpose from to service your wins
The birds of the wind don't depend on air to carry all their weight
Faith without works will get you a fallen partridge fate
All the way what you gotta' be
Knowing that possibly you'll see more downs before you arch your peak
Aiming for brevity
Don't wanna say too much just wanna lay what's needed down and and let it be
Don't drown in fear
Held down only from a hundred pounds of air , yea
Where you going where you going where you been at
Relax
Still a bunch of ground where your feet at
I ain't saying dance just chill and put your seat back
Lean and observe the scene
Cause I know I been on it
Tearing myself down that ain't gonna help now or never naw
I'm just tryna' compel now for better cause
Negativity driven will get you deaded off
Lest of course the Lessons that leave you better off
Just to pause and bounce back with better odds
Forever God
Never forget the lesser days
The hunger tested and money lesser to never paid
The help you felt was gon' be there for you and never came
The people you thought were genuine folk instead of fake
The 12 stepping to never pass the confession stage
Collecting thoughts on decisions you wish you never made
The walk to work in the cold hoping to catch a break
The bounce back three times after you make mistakes
Survival tactics for lasting crafting in clever ways
The savvy mastered from having less is a massive gain
A tragic page can turn into a triumphant stage
If you stick to it, gotta get to it
To get through it I mix music and influence
To inspire get higher and be a student
Don't let me be defeated by my flaws
Or see demise from the imperfections of my heart no
Don't let me be defeated by my flaws
Or see demise from the imperfections of my heart no
Don't let me be defeated by my flaws
Or see demise from the imperfections of my heart no
Don't let me be defeated by my flaws
Or see demise from the imperfections of my heart
