Letra Growing Pains par J Dilla

{Verse 1}
Glad tidings on a new horizon
Teardrops represent my n***as compromises
It was always hard just stressin what tomorrow might bring
Still we made it out & neva did bend
From buryin friends to watch my n***a carry his twins
It meant alot, cause my n***as never had anything
Whats impressive even more is my intent for the ring
2020 visions got me feeling next in this thing
I could take you back & tell you bout my pain back then
Id rather show you what i plan to present / this is not what you think
Im not knocking n***as coppin ah benz / but this foe n***as that can not get a win
And n***as locked in tha bing / thats alot to have to harbour within
But i dont sweat it when i think of what they did to corrine
I rеmember all them nights i had to sleep in a tеnt
Everyday was just so deep & intense / you won't believe where ive been yeah...

{Verse 2}
We were socially distant before corona hit us
All my associates move like they x-soviets
n***as know im thelonius when theres money thats owed to us
Tha voice of reason always seems to fall on deaf ears
We stayed hopping these fences never thinkin bout tha consequences
Its hard with no pot to p*ss in / just hoping is not sufficient
We're coping with coppers trippin / by dopin our consciousnesses
We bolt when their shots are ringin / & mope when we got the digits
They know that were not commited / its cold how they got us thinkin
We owe them but im convinced, that we hold'em to our civics
We hold till we lock position / this moment is monumental
The plott thickens, forgiveness is not given
The mission is get the money / they're not gonna take it from me
I gave you n***as the option / you n***as left me no choice
And im not gonna get let you think, that you got me cause thats impossible
Me...i deal in logicals all the way to the tropical zone...
