Grove To The Mountain [Prod. By BOLUS]

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was on top of the mountain peak scouting the earth at 360 degrees
Eyes everywhere saw the rain a mile off so I thought I'd shower bare MCs
You can try, do or die, suicide, who am I? Don't dare test fate
Brush aside parasites, brutalise alibis I'm not here to play
I was ninja training in the temple with Dot he taught me about the skill within
Watched, learned about spitjitsu now I merk on any riddim
Himalayan peaks cold thats Cryomancer
RainWorld native so hands off
Knowingly I know I got gripped by Satan
Lost my way then I found it Shaman

[Hook]
Came from a grove like CJ
Came from a grove just like Big Smoke
Travelled to the top of the mountain peak 1 on 1 training call that bespoke
Came from a grove like Sweet
Came from a grove like Ryder
Selfish boy went away things changed and now I feel like an outsider

[Verse 2]
That's nomad striving, hilltop climbing, dark cave searching, thirst is yearning
I need answers like Shenmu so I go and find them it's them I pursue
Can read history not the future
I soldier on Mayday trooper
To Osaka shouts out producer, that's man like BOLUS
Cross me and survive, know you got luck on your side
If it was down to me you'd get ran out have nowhere to go nowhere to reside
Send for me get spun
Can't come to the dance yours is already done
Don't let your boys talk you into beef, feed you to the beast, you're life get decreased
AVALANCHE! That's rocks falling down the side of the mountain, answers found them, Hong Kong fountain, flicked in a penny and it didn't start drowning
Prime example to a tiny sample, can't come ample get manhandled
Outangled outbarred outversed could be high in the sky still get your cloud burst
(CHU CHU BURST CHU CHU BURST)
Don't wanna swing it with me with the words
Don't wanna come through get your life cursed or end up dead in the back of a black hearse
Don't forget the route of the map you're using
It's your future that you're choosing
Them risky plays can be confusing like picking from identical twin

[Hook]
Came from a grove like CJ
Came from a grove just like Big Smoke
Travelled to the top of the mountain peak 1 on 1 training call that bespoke
Came from a grove like Sweet
Came from a grove like Ryder
Selfish boy went away things changed and now I feel like an outsider

[Verse 3]
Now I feel blessed surrounded by trees with Charlie but it ain't wave, forget wave, I'm a tsunami got many pieces to me that's origami
That's layers on layers, that's sides on sides
So don't try turn back time cus I'll go to my old ways no more Mr.Nice guy
Cus I look back an I'm not satisfied but I know that is a good sign
Progress improvement head of the movement why would I be stressing?
I'm doing way better then last year, I call that progression
I'll make smoke out the Vatican I'm adamant you can see it in the sky like javelin
And I'm cut from a different cloth feed me to the lions I'll come out on top
Seeing the sky from eye level, seeing life from above taught me a lot
So forget walking in my shoes you couldn't walk in my socks
Beefed the grim reaper 3 times I'm still standing on top
That's cus I did what I had to came from the caves to reside not hide
Then I run up on the mic with a bo staff and a big shield
Shaolin techniques in a rave I wield
Bun a fork in the road I'll put a fork in your face
No collab with an MC that I don't rate
Can't eat from my plate, didn't trek 1,000,000 miles just to make you great
Came from the Grove, alone, deserted home just to make it know
Got the weight of the Grove on my back
With the City of Birmingham sitting on my shoulders
Now that I've been and came back, know it's time to take the flag from the olders and run with it like a charge to attack
To make sure that the rest of the world know us
