Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus is my Gee
Only Him I want to give my Energy
I won’t give attention to no enemy
I place my focus, my focus on the cross
He’s my everything
So I yearn for Him
Gave His life for me
Live my life for Him
Want to know Him more
It’s what I’m living for
The more I know Him, the more I know myself
Chorus
Me I’m busy, I’m chilling with my Maker
Don’t disturb me, I will see you later
I’m with my Bible
I want to do three chapters
‘Cos I want to grow
Me I’m busy, I’m chilling with my Maker
Don’t disturb me, I will see you later
Now I’m praying
I want to do two hours
‘Cos I want to grow
Verse 2
See I get many questions wey need answer
Sometimes life gets harder
I need wisdom for the matter
So I link up with the source of all wisdom, that is Jesus
And He doesn’t hoard
He gives us when we ask
He’s my everything
So I yearn for Him
Gave His life for me
Live my life for Him
Want to know Him more
It’s what I’m living for
The more I know Him, the more I know myself

Chorus
Me I’m busy, I’m chilling with my Maker
Don’t disturb me, I will see you later

Don’t disturb me, I will see you later
Now I’m praying
I want to do two hours
‘Cos I want to grow

Me I want to grow
I read my Bible, I pray everyday
‘Cos I want to grow

Meaning & Inspiration
Want To Grow centers spiritual maturity on sustained attention to Jesus. The verses describe Christ as the source of identity, wisdom, and direction, while the chorus names Bible reading and prayer as ordinary disciplines of fellowship with God. Its conversational language and Nigerian expressions give the song an everyday setting, but the central concern remains clear: growth comes through knowing Christ rather than being distracted by opposition or uncertainty.\n\nThe request for wisdom in difficult situations aligns closely with James 1:5, which directs those who lack wisdom to ask God. The desire to know Christ more also reflects Philippians 3:8-10, where knowing Christ is treated as surpassing gain. References to Scripture, prayer, and fasting place growth within repeated practices rather than a single emotional moment. By returning to the phrase “I want to grow,” the song presents devotion as an active pursuit shaped by focus, dependence, and time spent with God.
