A Tree Grew in Lagos Lyrics

A tree grew in the city

Stemming out of the blindness Of past generations into

Non-comforming indifference

Branches rising from age old Traditions mixed with new School additions

Strong wits, creative abilities Enough to put millenials out of White-collar misery

Powering through with that Alternative dignity, This is our Definition of originality

This is who I gotta be

Just to find release

Went to war with me

Just to gain some inner peace

Ekwensu a thief

He know failing isn't cheap

Gotta pay the price

They say freedoms isn't free

Told myself I can't quit

Man

That shit for the weak

Figured out the puzzle

Then I found the main piece

Saw the bigger picture

Frame of mind got facelifts

I don't know how we could Grow if we don't know what Change is

If you got a lotta goals u gotta Always play for keeps

Gotta be a man but still some Days I pray and weep

She used to call me every day

But I ain't spoke to her in

Weeks

Miss our conversations

Was the therapy I need

And I Tried to move on but Saw her face when I would Sleep

I feel like some people they get Printed on your soul I swear

But I had to write my name in Stone yeah

You just never know how it Could go yeah

Oh yeah

Omo I'm so excited

Everybody's invited

They tell me pressure makes Diamonds

I had to dig deep to find it

I find it
