Growth Zone

"This is the English version of the lyrics"

I used to say "just watch me now"
But I was the one just watching, stuck in the crowd
Drama around me, homies all playing their part
Next thing I know, I'm the one up on the stage in the dark

Like staring straight into the sun, I turn away
Too scared my dreams might shatter someday
Wanna stay a kid who don't face reality
Spitting selfish thoughts, that was my daily

Put a period on myself with this pen
Smash hit my chest, now I wake up again
Cooking up life, even with crutches inside
Broken mentality, I brush up the mind

Speeding it up, so I face what I fear
Can't slick back fly, but I'm still right here
Clumsy man falling, but I rise to the next
Sell my bitter past through these lines I express

Heart and my voice, that's how I get freedom
Every pain I lived, yeah I gotta redeem `em

Everybody got problems stuck in their life
Blaming poverty when you ain't moving right
Flip that weak mindset, change your view
Next move different when your vision is new

Fresh out the booth, let 'em inhale this good shit
Addicted to pain, yeah I live with the bullshit
Without it, I ain't me, I'd just fade away
Resentment and struggle made me who I am today

End of the past, I'm leaving it behind
Make me re-mind, reconstruct my mind
Make some noise

Used to walk alone, now we kicking as a crew
What was just "me" turned to something we grew

99 and Sound Side Fam
KMBD shaping who I am
From a home booth with soundproof walls
I'm chasing stars out the 047 calls

Breathing cold air in the club, lungs freeze
From Japan island, now I'm crossing blue seas

It's me, S,V,C
From a sinking Espoir ship to an dream
Slave life &low key, stuck in the deep
But I craft my escape with the tongue when I speak

Always wanting more, it slips through my hands
Little chances falling, wasn't part of the plan
Talking `bout a Plan B, but I kick that doubt
Ain't no second option, I'm all in now

Got a heroine by my side, but I stand alone
When it's time to decide, I face it on my own
So I don't lose to the me of tomorrow
Voice from my gut, no fear, no sorrow

Bruised up nights in an izakaya scene
Turned from blue into a burning red dream
Crawling from under, I spit how I feel
Trauma and shine both keeping it real

Never gonna stop, I'm betting my life
Pain in my pen, that's the ink that I write

Tip of my pen is a glowing stone
I am here in my growth zone
Past, present, future all collide
Mix it all up, sometimes I cry

Building my own premium nights
My voice won't be sealed in a jar for life

Tip of my pen is a glowing stone
I am here in my growth zone
Past, present, future I combine
Mix it all up, now I fight

Building my own premium nights
Voice, bone, legacy, my plan starts tonight
