Fruit Tree (feat. Evoke)

Fruit Tree

Wrote by: Imperial 1ne

Verse One

I remember the holes in my Adi-Das

Walking on the concrete pavement

Finger-pointing entering city transit

Mockery and insults didn’t hold back results

I was determined to make it

Other kids were into flashy clothes and cars

I was thinking when’s my next breakfast

My stomach growls in the middle of class uh

My focus was gone like hocus pocus

All I know is that I better get to the finish line

Struggle is temporary if I allow it

Five years from now, I’m gonna stunt on these cowards

Chorus

I remember when they said I wouldn’t make it

I remember when they laughed at my goals

They were always laughing and throwing shade

In the dirt is where the roots become strong

Now they are trying to eat fruit from this tree

All the hate, jealousy, and envy

Now you want to eat from this tree

My winning brings out your insecurities

Don’t you dodge this heat

You can’t seek refuge under this tree

Verse Two

This fruit that I’m producing is so sweet

Especially when my haters accept defeat

Five years have passed. What's going on in your life?

Remember the kid with holes in his shoes

Yeah, I’m the one yall use to antagonize

Do you like my Maybach Benz parked outside

Pardon, this is Mariah and Tiffany, I call’em duplex

And what’s on my wrist will give you a complex, yes!

B, don’t be vexed, years go you was in the gym

Today, my boy, I’m the real flex, yes!

The cars, the homes, in different area codes

I’m sitting on gold commodes, reminiscing on you clowns

While you're eating Ramen in your studio apartment

Remember that where you start is not where you finish

Step up your game, I don’t give out loans, respectfully!

I didn’t mean to go so hard

Chorus

I remember when they said I wouldn’t make it

I remember when they laughed at my goals

They were always laughing and throwing shade

In the dirt is where the roots become strong

Now they are trying to eat fruit from this tree

All the hate, jealousy, and envy

Now you want to eat from this tree

My winning brings out your insecurities

Don’t you dodge this heat

You can’t seek refuge under this tree

Outro

Fruit tree, fruit tree, producing so much fruit from this tree

...Now I can understand the envy!

Now I can understand the envy
