Aalana - Old Garden Lyrics

I'll be where the peaches be
Underneath the apple tree
Next to me is my herbal tea
And I'll be picking all my leaves really carefully
You better eat your collard greens
I feel the love for myself, love for myself getting really strong
I came from the concrete, yeah I got thorns
Used to be a seed now I'm a flower 'cause I'm grown
I used to be a seed now I

I eat my fruit and veggies so my body know I care
When it came to my health, ain't nobody show they care
Just a bunch of "Are you pregnant?
I can tell by what you wear
How you never had sex and got a pregnancy scare?"
I ain't got the answers and I couldn't tell you where
This big belly came from, I'll tell you what ain't fair
Wearing hot, oversized clothes, layer on top of layer
Tryna cover a condition you don't know and couldn't bare
I'm doing sit-ups, crunches, even burpees
I'm thinking like why, why this happening to me
Why my body couldn't look how a woman 'pose to be
I'd be perfect, this my only insecurity
Like maybe I need lipo or some type of surgery
But whatever it may be, I need it quickly out of me
Expeditiously, I wanna be the HBIC
But unfortunately it be disrupting all of my peace

I'll be where the peaches be
Underneath the apple tree
Next to me is my herbal tea
And I'll be picking all my leaves really carefully
You better eat your collard greens
I feel the love for myself, love for myself getting really strong
I came from the concrete, yeah I got thorns
Used to be a seed now I'm a flower 'cause I'm grown
I used to be a seed now I
I feel love for myself, love for myself getting really strong
I came from the concrete, yeah I got thorns
Used to be a seed now I'm a flower 'cause I'm grown
I used to be a seed now I'm a flower 'cause I'm grown

I remember all the family functions
I got pointed out
Now you see why I be in my room quiet as a mouse
Fourteen looking nine months, happens in the south
But you know I'm really awkward
I don't never leave the house
And when I did leave the house, I'd wanna go back home
I was treated like I'm lazy so I'm like where I go
My mama got tired, she said this ain't normal
Get in the car, where we going, to the hospital
The doctor put that jelly on my belly, it was cold
But it wasn't colder than my isolated soul
We looking at that monitor like tell us what you know
Well I can tell you that it ain't no baby boy
So it's a baby girl?
Well not necessarily
Take a closer look, as we examine carefully
It's surprising she alive, because it's really threatening
Your daughter has a really big cyst on her ovary
