GROWING PAINS from WISHFUL THINKING by Cameron London

Verse 1:

Started as a hobby
I was beat boxing in the lobby
Delusional, couldn’t tell me I was nobody
Started with a plan to expand
Without a helping hand
They could see the moves I was making
But didn’t understand
That it was God talking to me
When I slipped
Knew it was God walking with me
Goals might have changed
But the heart still remains the same
Can tell that I’m growing amongst the pain
I made a promise
I’m being honest
To myself
I might have slipped but never swayed
Can I be forgiven
For entertaining the thought
That I didn’t want to live another day
I been thanking God for the clarity
Grateful for the charity
Know I’m nothing special
It’s a blessing that he sparing me
Never woulda grew into the man I am today
If I didn’t get some bruises along the way


Hook:

I’m taking what’s left
Of the hand I’m dealt
Trynna get away from the pain I felt
I’m sorry for the mess that I made
I’m taking what’s left
Of the hand I’m dealt
Trynna get away from the pain I felt
My scars are just beginning to fade

Its my bad I didn’t know
This is how we learned to grow
I cried tears I didn’t show
When my blood dripped on the snow
Take your time it’s gon be fine
You the best part of my mind
When it’s dark
I know the sun gotta shine


Verse 2:

I’m just trynna live happier through and through
Maybe then ill be scrappier when I do
A mystery I’m not surrounded by a team
Guess I gotta chase the dream by myself
What’s new
I used to let it stop me
Now it’s motivation
21, I was supposed to have a Grammy nomination
Celebration came and went
The rest was purely obligation
This is confirmation
I belong in every conversation
But alas I’m past The pipe dreams
I’m chance walking back on my lyrics
From light beam
If I ain’t gonna fail Then it isn’t cause of man
My thoughts sail from water to land
At light speed
Been holding back my tears
Think it’s time I let em flow
Clinging to my fears
Think it’s time I let em go
Thought I wasn’t moving
But it’s steady and slow
Can feel the pain
But I’m watching you grow
