Lilypad

[Chorus] Just a frog out of water A tadpole when I was brought up From the bottom of the waters Didn't just grow, I was altered I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller Just a tad but a lot smarter Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder Just a frog out of water A tadpole when I was brought up From the bottom of the waters Didn't just grow, I was altered I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller Just a tad but a lot smarter Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder [Verse 1] After my brother the doctor told my mother that shе wouldn't have another She couldn't, that shе shouldn't even try She could suffer but she didn't doubt it And for that I love her, have to hug her when I see her And she love me back, her beloved second son The leprechaun what he thought he was as a youngin Plus a frog, that's what I heard going off When I'd visit grandpa and grandma in PR Too young to get it at the time but here we are Wasn't like back home, garbage trucks and car alarms [?] I was so free My mind running loss no matter where I was My mind could take me where I want A different kind of [?] but a mix of something none the less What I imagined made me understand who we really is Pretty much a Irish Puerto Rican thriving in New York since he was a kid Wasn't on a horse, it was hippos and dinosaurs in that park It ain't made [?] talking 'bout Riverside Park, it's a'ight [?] even at night when the lights off, mic's on [?] city wait for him Call him Wik the God, nah, call him little frog [Chorus] Out of water A tadpole when I was brought up From the bottom of the waters Didn't just grow, I was altered I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller Just a tad but a lot smarter Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder [Verse 2] Probably thought I was a boss, right? Right when I got caught from the side right, on my block Everyone [?] I was so lost [?] left broke with a swollen eye but I ain't left yet Still I'm more alive than I've ever been, been immortalized But I got nothing more than time I ain't dead yet, open wide, I didn't cry More emotional when shorty left, when shorty lied [?] be my friend but the amount of [?] in my life When I'm right, tend to make it wrong in time It's right now, no, couldn't save it for another time [?] say the frog couldn't grow, couldn't [?] Through all the smoke, couldn't choke, had to swallow my pride Follow the signs [?] I was conflicted, stronger than most But what I now know I drill it into my mind Besides that it's God's will, I just feel it and rhyme And yo, I'ma be real, I don't feel it at times But then I can't keep it in It's hard to conceal when I feel it inside [Bridge] Uh, just a frog out of water A tadpole when I was brought up [Chorus] Just a frog out of water A tadpole when I was brought up From the bottom of the waters Didn't just grow, I was altered I grew a tad bit stronger, not taller Just a tad but a lot smarter Wandered to the top of the pond, yonder Now I sit on top the lily pad and I ponder
