Growth by Ettrick Shepherd Lyrics
[Intro]
Sorry for fucking up and I really don't wanna repeat
Took losses indeed and ain't got a receipt so just follow my words and don't follow my lead
[Verse 1]
I’ve created a name
As somebody who keeps making mistakes
But I reflect on them so it only ever
Ends up making me great
And I hope that I inspire some
To stand in the flames with the fire comes
Cos even when life gets tiresome
You can work your way up to the higher rungs
I always gotta keep my lyrics expressive
I wanna deliver a message
That just when you think that you live in a wreckage
No life is ever too shit to refresh it
I treat this music like a gift and I spread
So just let your brain drift for a second
Cos I’ma feed some real shit into it
So let it just sit and then set in
[Chorus]
I'm not proud of what I've done so do as I say and not as I do
Life happened to me in my youth and I'm only saying the truth
Sorry I fucked up and I don't wanna repeat
Took losses indeed and ain't got a receipt so just follow my words and don't follow my lead
[Verse 2]
Grab my hand, let me guide you down this hard road
And if you slip and fall I’ll be there to boost your bravado
I know it can difficult when you’re carrying all that cargo
But just know that if you don’t fuck up every now and again you can’t grow
And even though that road is rough
You losing your mind and going nuts
Believe me, yo, I know it’s tough
But as a kid it was all part of growing up
Which made me exactly who I am today
Stood my ground and never ran away
I ain’t here to be felt sorry for
I’m here to help anybody who can relate
[Chorus]
I'm not proud of what I've done so do as I say and not as I do
Life happened to me in my youth and I'm only saying the truth
Sorry I fucked up and I don't wanna repeat
Took losses indeed and ain't got a receipt so just follow my words and don't follow my lead
[Verse 3]
It never crossed my mind to fake this shit
Cos I’m true at the heart that I make it with
Conveyed my emotions uncensored
The shit on ‘So They Say’ - I meant it
Being real ain’t something I’m afraid to do
I hit that wall that and I made it through
And documented my life in my music
But this song right here was made for you
[Chorus]
I'm not proud of what I've done so do as I say and not as I do
Life happened to me in my youth and I'm only saying the truth
Sorry I fucked up and I don't wanna repeat
Took losses indeed and ain't got a receipt so just follow my words and don't follow my lead
Sorry for fucking up and I really don't wanna repeat
Took losses indeed and ain't got a receipt so just follow my words and don't follow my lead
[Verse 1]
I’ve created a name
As somebody who keeps making mistakes
But I reflect on them so it only ever
