Glow Up! Grow Up!
Like a saguaro cactus it takes me months to grow
In a way no one will ever discover
In a way no one but me will know
In a way I will know forever
Going home with my mom as a young kid was something special
My mom, my sister and I walking hand in hand all across minnesota avenue
Those times I never thought about any danger the world held
Or any pain I will soon withhold
Like a saguaro cactus it takes me months to grow
In a way no one will ever discover
In a way no one but me will know
In a way I will know forever
At the age of 13 I had to go home on my own
1 phone spread among me and my kin
As embarrassing as it was I felt an abundance of power within my bones
As the tremendous amount of pressure beginning to build in.
