[Intro]
Money callin' me, trouble followin' me
I'ma street n***a and I'ma always be
And my momma know I'm good so she don't pray for me
I'm just a street n***a and I'ma always be
[Hook]
We was g**nin', that's how I grew up
Out there sellin' work, that's how I grew up
Youngin' shootin' sh** up, that's how I grew up
I put in that work, that's how I blew up
Man f** them n***as, they ain't nothin' like us
We don't talk to cops, that's how I grew up
We just sit out box, that's how I grew up
All day on the block, that's how I grew up
[Verse 1]
On the Eastside of Chiraq, thats where I grew up
OG ain't let me on Ess** until I grew up
When G Fazo died in 2010 I just ain't give a f**
'Member me and Manski on the phone an hour teein' up
Fourteen we was young as f** all ready to f** sh** up
Comin' up no fear in us we ready to k** sum
Lil Roc died Broski turned himself in for a year or sum
Trappin' so hard told em leave the line and watch us still run it
Back then I was sixteen probably running up a fifteen
Then I started spittin' 16s, rappin' 16s, by my 16th
n***a 16 yeah them my blocks
Four blocks can't switch, four blocks that way
Four blocks up four blocks back
We run our sh** and the opps
(Gang gang)
[Hook]
We was g**nin', that's how I grew up
Out there sellin' work, that's how I grew up
Youngin' shootin' sh** up, that's how I grew up
I put in that work, that's how I blew up
Man f** them n***as, they ain't nothin' like us
We don't talk to cops, that's how I grew up
We just sit out box, that's how I grew up
All day on the block, that's how I grew up
[Verse 2]
You can't come where I grew up
Big a** guns where I grew up
They shoot for fun where I grew up
No where to run you fall you f**ed
Wonder why your n***as never pull up
Never call you up
Ain't know who you calling for
No body want war with us
Literally, bullsh** you not
Fo'nem go nuts with them Glocks
They don't even know how to stop
Knock that little sh** off the top
Grew up fathers off the dope
Grew up mothers off the rocks
Errybody got a problem
Errybody got a opp
And I grew up just a screw up
Takin' d** [?]
Totin' guns missin' court goin' on the run
Gangbangin' ridin' on opps just for fun
Pop in front of 'em masked up
Can't see my face just the gun
[Hook]
We was g**nin', that's how I grew up
Out there sellin' work, that's how I grew up
Youngin' shootin' sh** up, that's how I grew up
I put in that work, that's how I blew up
Man f** them n***as, they ain't nothin' like us
We don't talk to cops, that's how I grew up
We just sit out box, that's how I grew up
All day on the block, that's how I grew up
