WATER FOR FLOWERS LYRICS
[LOUIS]
I've always tried to head towards the light like plants and phototaxis
Moving forwards never backwards
Its become my art form, my practice and my praxis
Attracting good vibes as the planet spins on its axis
Will we all actualise? I doubt it.
Just always try and bring your best vibes no doubt about it
Surely that’s the meaning of life
What's the point of regrets if there is no option to ever rewind
Learn from your mistakes… persevere whatever it takes
You don’t need to play it safe just play it clever
And face your demons in whatever forms they take
And have faith no matter how low you feel it gets better
I’ve been at the zenith and the nadir
But when the pen hits it cleanses all my senses and I'm back here
Back in the room now pass me some shrooms
Never really learnt from my mistakes but maybe someday soon
[HOOK]
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, why was I
Such a ___back then?
[CHORUS]
Iv grown, I seen the light like… photosynthesis X3
Yeah, the air is nice and I’m flowing like water
[VERSE]
This an open a letter for the doors I shut behind me
It's For closer the foreclosure did remind me
That I been building up like a skyscraper
My boys are scaffolding, support bring balance when
I needed walking off ledge yeah my minds made up
I'm so glad that me and mum finally made up
Cus I was drowning in debt and the lying about it
Not paying her rent but then buying an outfit
Just to flex to get sex to prove I'm over my ex
And I was but even still my life was a mess
Bad mental health was a temporal hell
I'm Good now It's not that easy for everyone else
I recommend buy some plants put on your shelves
Every time you water them you look after yourself
It takes time effort sunshine for better, days
Open up flower bud you be amazed
[HOOK]
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, why was I
Such a ___back then?
[CHORUS]
Iv grown, I seen the light like… photosynthesis X3
Yeah, the air is nice and I’m flowing like water
[NAY]
Ayo I'm voss water outta the drain pipe you know what Nay's like
Getting drunk and high in the same night
I was a yungen drinking on Snakebite
You'd always see me rolling never riding the same bike,
We rode into the sunset until it was daylight
We'd sell you shit and rob it back we tryna get paid twice
Sometimes we played dice with our life But the shit didn't break right,
Now pieces of my heart left colder than shaved Ice
My aunty died it reduced me to Sea melt,
My mum's sis I never comprehended how she felt
Life had me feeling insecure like a kid without a seatbelt
Acting like I'm fine but I needed help
Ashamed of things that I did back then,
Oh why, why was I such a ___ back then
Now I've grown yo from a killer bee in a jungle,
To a young who's keeping it humble…I’m on point
