late bloomer - weglobe lyrics

[intro]
they said i missed my window
but windows break
and i’m coming through

[verse 1]
twenty*five, still living at my momma house
watching all my classmates buy they mommas houses
scroll through the timeline, everybody winning
baby showers, new cars, promotions, they was grinning
and i’m stuck, quarter*life crisis in the mirror
dreams getting dusty, vision getting less clearer
comparing my chapter one to they chapter ten
forgetting they ain’t show me all the times they lost back then
thirty hit, still felt like i was just starting
friends got married, i was still apartment*hopping
job to job, passion project on the side
everybody asked me “when you gon’ arrive?”
like success got a gps, like it’s one route
like the only way to make it is to figure it out
by twenty*two with a ring and a career
nah, my timeline different, let me make it clear

[pre*chorus]
i’m not behind, i’m just on my own time
i’m not behind, i’m just on my own time
the sun still rises even when it takes the night
i’m not behind, i’m right on time
[chorus]
i’m a late bloomer, but i’m blooming now
took me longer, but i figured it out
don’t matter when you find your crown
late bloomer, but i’m here now
i’m a late bloomer, yeah, i’m blooming now (blooming)
some flowers need more time in the ground (take your time)
but when i rise, i rise loud
late bloomer, but i’m here now

[verse 2]
samuel jackson ain’t blow up ’til his forties
vera w*ng started designing at forty
stan lee created x*men pushing fifty
so why i gotta feel like thirty’s the ending of me?
society sold us a timeline that’s a prison
graduate, get married, have kids, that’s the system
but some of us got detours, got delays
got lessons we had to learn the harder ways
i used to be ashamed, like i was less than
watching younger kids do what i was still guessing
at, feeling like a fraud, like i aged out
but you can’t age out of purpose, that’s not how it works out
now i understand, the wait was the work
the patience was the training, the silence was the search
for who i really am, not who they said to be
now i’m finally me, and that’s the victory
[pre*chorus]
i’m not behind, i’m just on my own time
i’m not behind, i’m just on my own time
the sun still rises even when it takes the night
i’m not behind, i’m right on time

[chorus]
i’m a late bloomer, but i’m blooming now
took me longer, but i figured it out
don’t matter when you find your crown
late bloomer, but i’m here now
i’m a late bloomer, yeah, i’m blooming now (blooming)
some flowers need more time in the ground (take your time)
but when i rise, i rise loud
late bloomer, but i’m here now

[bridge]
this for the thirty*year*old freshman, starting over
this for the single one who thought they’d have a lover
by now, this for the one who switched careers
at forty*five and cried when they faced they fears
this for the one who’s still searching for they purpose
who feels invisible, who feels worthless
i’m here to tell you, your time is coming
the wait don’t mean that you’re not becoming
who you supposed to be
just keep going, just keep growing
you gon’ see, you gon’ see
[chorus]
i’m a late bloomer, but i’m blooming now (finally)
took me longer, but i figured it out (i figured it out)
don’t matter when you find your crown (when you find it)
late bloomer, but i’m here now (i’m here)
i’m a late bloomer, yeah, i’m blooming now (yeah, yeah)
some flowers need more time in the ground (more time)
but when i rise, i rise loud (so loud)
late bloomer, but i’m here now

[outro]
you know what n0body tells you?
some of the greatest things take the longest to grow
redwoods take hundreds of years
diamonds take millions
so why you rushing?
bloom when you bloom
and when you do?
make sure they see it from sp*ce
