slept on this beat I made like a couple years ago! It's lovely. The melody came about really quickly.

this song is basically the last line summed up: nobody can make you grow. Which can feel kinda hopeless sometimes when you want somebody to hold your hand. This song isn't anti-hope, it's anti hope-somebody-else-steps-in-and-saves-you-when-you-need-to-save-yourself.

hope is a stupid word like cope

and helpless and help! and nope

hope is a stupid word cos no one can help you soften the blow

and when spring comes around i roll my sleeves back up again and go

to work the same ground as last year pull out the same stupid hoe ;)

hope is a stupid word cos no one can be there to make you grow
