Bush - JohnnieB

Lyrics

(Johnnie B On The Beat ) Who’s that rooted motherfucker walking round like he the shit Who that grower, yeah I’m talking that whole damn overgrown gift Looking like the wild won’t quit, like a front-yard force that live too big Yeah but I heard all that weight went to his roots, so don’t get it twisted He can still outgrow your limits, come with shade, you get shade right back real quick That this patch of life could also not give a shit Man look like he flourishing, no wonder he can spit Just another reason I deserve a diamond hit My planted ass kept reaching, so why the fuck would I quit I guess that’s why I get the ones who like that grounded shit They relate to real growth and grit, plus they know what it means to build from it My weathered self got rings in the soul, that’s why I move so thick Even when the wind hit sideways, I still don’t break, I only bend and live A rooted Eminem fan, call me backyard crazy with a pen that lit But I’m more like a bush in the wild — low to the earth, but I still spread big I came from dirt, now every branch got purpose, every leaf got grip I ain’t some little weak-ass stem, motherfucker, I’m the whole damn thicket Yeah he’s the growin’ bush that just keeps gettin’ big Can’t you tell, damn, I mean just look at how he lives He was rooted in the dirt, now he reachin’ through the wind Yeah he came up from the ground and turned the whole thing to a gift Yeah judging me is like judging a field before the whole thing wake Like the rain ain’t fed it, like the roots ain’t deep, like the ground won’t shake So patient and thick, somebody better get this whole damn growth its plate He’s so naturally driven, he don’t need a crate He look so earthbound it’s like he found his faith So alive even drought would hesitate to say he can’t create Like this damn planted soul done found the will to elevate Got him so tapped in with the dirt that every thought come through concentrated Losing sleep, still growing while the rest just rot and wait He so locked in with his hunger that the whole damn dream can’t be delayed Looking so ready like his season never came in second rate Quick, give this kid a little room, because the world comes with his soulmate A whole grove look like it finally found its best mate Let’s face it, he the real deep-rooted one, no need to debate Not a wannabe anybody, bitch, I built this lane from scratch and state to state And this kid really doesn’t give a fuck about anything you gotta say Because he came up from the soil and made survival look first-rate Now every branch in his frame say the same damn thing — I was born to take my place Yeah he’s the growin’ bush that just keeps gettin’ big Can’t you tell, damn, I mean just look at how he lives He was rooted in the dirt, now he reachin’ through the wind Yeah he came up from the ground and turned the whole thing to a gift
