OSHUN – Glow Up lyrics

[Intro]
Let's get it, let's get it

[Verse 1]
What you know about this life that I'm motherf*ckin' livin'
Spirits stay high, so I get it how I live it
Start my day up with some prayer and a lemon
Poured in the cup with this water that I'm sippin'
Then I bank up, check my agenda
Back to the grind 'cause my name you'll remember
The day I got time for my own destination
Two years worth of life where we vacationed
And every black kid that can rap on a track got a [?]
But [?] they gon' stack and then put it in momma's purse
But if they get much greater, gonna teach 'em how to fly
Take it to a place where her soul will aline
With the divine, [?], that's hers and mine
All in due time, peep the incline
We on a rise, touchin' the sky like

[Chorus]
I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show

[Verse 2]
The life that I'm livin' is a motherf*ckin' right that I'm given
See, I'm in tune with the rags and the riches
'Cause I been here since before the beginning
Swimming in water that only exists on levels that's higher
Than we gettin' this, I'm floating and focused from heatin' the brick
By floatin' and loadin' and healin' the sick
Told 'em my mind above a [?]
Eternal blissfulness
So I'm forever feelin' the kisses of my ancestors' spirits
It's why I don't feel no stress, I just ride
And I just take my time, 'cause I'm just so divine

[Chorus]
I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show

[Verse 3]
So let me bring it back (back, back)
So let me bring it back (back, back)
So let me bring it back to that [?] some more
Why I do this and who I do it for
All the little shorties colourin' on the floor
Expressing who they really truly are at the core
And now we at war with ourselves and the pressure
Losin' touch with our ancestors
Thinkin' that our body only lives in the dresser
Every version of how we feel must be censored
I was that girl one time in my life
But now I got back and I made that shit right
Understand that my hands were created to heal
So watch as I whip and chef every meal
The deals comin' at major velocity
I got protection, nobody should be watchin' me
I can't be touched by the hate or hypocrisy
Glow up is comin' with heat and ferocity

[Chorus]
I plant my seeds and water them so they grow
I shine my light so I can reap what I sow
So when you see me stacking paper in dough
You'll recognize that this here grind's not for show
